why does everyone make these threads before they get a compression test? if youre getting one tomorrow, why not wait until you get the results to make a thread about it?

Personally, I hate that hood and I think it's hideous. But it will look fine with the burnout bumper. No need to photoshop it.

Also, that's the SCOOT hood, I don't know why you're calling it the ST hood

ok first of all, chill out. you only waited 38 minutes to bump your own thread, and i'm pretty sure you don't need to make this decision tomorrow.

second, you didnt even say what kind of wheels youre looking at. There are a million options.

third, you need to list what your suspension set up is, what you plan to do, if you are going to go widebody, etc

and fourth: USE THE GODDAMN SEARCH BUTTON, or just browse other threads. so many people ask the same questions, all it takes is a couple hours of research. How many times did you search this topic in the 38 minutes between the original post and your bump? Ill bet that if you gave me 38 minutes to search this forum i could find 100 posts that would give you your answers... in fact, you should have searched before even starting this thread, and you would have saved me all this typing.

We had to call a tow truck because we thought the motor was blown and didn't know to check the map sensor.

Not to get off topic a thread jack but mine has popped off as well (more than once). The first time I was racing on a road course and I thought for sure the motor had blown before I inspected and saw the hose had popped off.

Wow, that's really strange. Maybe DPO's (dumb previous owners, or maybe even current ones ;) ) dont know how to secure vacuum hoses to nipples? Or maybe they are using oil soaked hoses. I seriously have never had one come off, or personally known someone who had it come off...and I have worked on a lot of Fds. For that matter, I've never had one come off an FC either, of which I have worked on 2 or 3x as many as FD's.

Now I suspect you are going to get really angry and spew out at least one more quote I could add to this post...

I'm not sure why you choose to participate in the forum the way you do - it appears you have 2FD's, another rotary vehicle and do work on your own car. You could be someone who makes significant positive contributions to the forum...

Did I hurt your internet feelings? I'm sorry... You both know me so well, I feel like we've connected. How about you both come over and wash my mouth out with soap? :kiss:

Annnnyway, lets move out of cry-baby mode, did you get those compression results?
