It's RB Breathing time...

putting a new clutch in "Pamela" today, along with turning the brake rotors and replacing the pads. I'm expecting my Racing Beat exhaust system (header, presilencer, and Power Pulse muffler) to arrive tonight and go in tomorrow morning.

With the RB swaybars, K&N filter, new brakes, etc (already replaced both the clutch and brake master cylinders) this car should handle and go like a raped ape.

lol. You'll definitely have to give us a thorough report on the install and also the effect it has on the performance of your car. I'm considering getting the RB setup, and any info would be awesome!

Well I dropped the tranny and discovered there's a small leak at the eccentric shaft seal, and the tranny needs some bearings replaced.

If it's not one thing, it's another *L*

i'll post pics up tonight of them they are nice. I even took off my alien wearing a mazda shirt pissing on a piston sticker cause it looked like it was pissing on the forum. By the way that was a custome sticker made out of 3 other stickers. it was neat. Now i am gonna put it on the lawnmower. well mantis let me know how you like the exhauts i only have the header and i really want ot hear how much different the exhaust sounds.

with only the header you're probably only getting a small bit of the gains, unless the rest of your exhaust is free-flow...

I'm looking forward to it, but with the mint door panels already on the way, the new suspension in, the new clutch and exhaust going in this week, and the tranny being rebuilt I'm almost out of things to do to this car

Dude, you will NEVER be out of things to do with your car, trust me....and don't ever say that out loud, because they can hear and understand us very well...

Right on.

That is one thing I like about Dallas!!! You never have to park your car, have an extra set of snow tires, worry about rust, and you can go to the car wash in winter and sometimes sweat while washing the car!!! I am originally from Illinois so I know what you are talking about having to park the nice cars.
