After seeing your car I suddenly feel the urge to go and stare at my car for an hour just so I can get that image of your interior out of my head

But buety is within the eye of the beholder and it probably runs like stink!!!!!

i always new it was a sleeper ......so uh with all that money on the suspension/engine you woudl think the interior/exterior would be like new:p

 

I'm a pure functional kinda guy - if the car was too pretty, I think it would get "messed with" a whole lot more.&nbsp Due to the car being so crappy looking, I've had a lot of cops totally not see me when I duck and hide after speeding.

I've got a bunch of other stuff still waiting.&nbsp This big stuffs are the XS Engineering divided cast manifold and 60-1 ball bearing turbo, but I need get a front mount for it.&nbsp A Haltech E6K is also waiting to be installed.

I've got a set of SSR GP-theta Decoltes 17x8 front, 17x9 rears waiting for tires.&nbsp Most like gonna go with a set of Falken Azenis (225/45/17 front, 255/40/17 rears) as soon as the big turbo set-up is installed.

I've also got a genuine Yours Sports rear spoiler sitting on my bed right now, but I don't think I'm going to use it on my car.

pervert, we know where you're gonna use it, and thats nasty man. Just don't break anything while you're at it and remember to lube up first.

 

node your

Ground Control coilovers - 7.0kg/mm front, 5.0kg/mm rear. im doing the same setup. what do those kg/mm equate to in lbs? and is that a good setup for street?

 

Multiply by 55.88 to covert to in/lbs.
7.0kg/mm = 391in/lbs
5.0kg/mm = ~280in/lbs
GC just labels them as 400# front/275# rears - this is their "race" set-up, as they have gone with softer springs for "street" set-ups now.

I see Ted is back. Lucky you got off this frickin rock. Now they have frickin photo radars manned in vans parked on the shoulder lanes and monitoring cars running red lights. There's just TOO many cops hanging around on the shoulder lanes. One way to beatem, take off the front plates like I did. By the way, I read you went true 2 stroke. If you have hot start problems, don't leave your switch off too long when cranking.
You should know why. What I do is when I know I need to use the switch, I turn it off, crank it once to blow it out then crank it again and it starts right up. The only lube you're getting is from the fuel/ 2 stroke as you know. Also, you guys should let up on his car looking bad. I'm sure it'll kick most of your asses. The last time he clocked mid 13s. Hmmm...we never raced side by side at the tracks huh?

 

Uh, who are you?
