Well, I don't have photoshop, but it is actually really simple on MS paint.
I am really happy with this one! And I know Jeremy doesn't have a full cage and stuff, but it was already on the base. So if you want me to remove it I can.

What you should do in your spare time is source several bases for these and convert them all to completely stock. That way when you want to make another one you have a stock base to work with. Just a thought.

.30 Cal
Throw rocks- its more effective. Sorry but the .30 is a waste. Its little more than a pistol round. I understand its a carbine and all, but its a very uneffective round.
I need to find another (i found one and stupidly bought my Romanian AK instead) Chinese SKS Paratrooper that accepts AK mags. I found a second one about a year later but had no money:(

Steve's dads. Now I know that when you put the FMIC in that you couldn't get the fogs to fit due to the intercooler piping, let me know if you want intercooler piping in there instead of fogs.

Correct. Something so simple is now a pain in the fucking ass due to the stupid wastegate tube going back into the downpipe. I'm just going to remove the damn downpipe one more fucking time and have the tube cutoff and just have the WG vent to atmosphere. Everything on the car today has been a royal PITA. I would like to light the bitch on fire at this point.

Nah, you can either have the gases recirculate or vta. Vta is just louder which I don't mind. I was shooting to have the car at least started today but that doesn't appear to be happening. I'm done with it for today and will try again tomorrow otherwise you will see the fire dept. at my house. Lol.

Andrew I believe. He used to have a RS6 as a track car and felt it was too heavy so he bought the R8 which is now the track toy. During his delivery of the vehicle, his salesman mention a V10 model which made him disappointed. Not until a track event at VIR where he kept getting passed on the straights by a V10 did he decide to install a twin turbo kit, which I've had the honor of getting a joy ride in.

Friends of The Newnan Crew, let me briefly share with you the bane of my existence for the last 4 days in my quest for moar low:
Thursday consisted of my prepping the car for the suspension swap. I hate suspension work and knowing my luck I knew I decided to get ahead of the curve and take the Progress coilovers out a day early in case of issue. As I predicted, one balljoint was seized in the coilover arm while to other balljoint had a spinning stud. After futile attempts to remove even with the help of Mr. Teng, I was forced to cut the balljoints off with the air saw the next day. Of course no Honda/Acura dealer or parts store carried the balljoints on hand :headslap:
Richardson came to the rescue and rush ordered me a set that arrived no more than 3 hours later! These bad boys arrived shortly after.
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm218/eskateboarding17/f734f681.jpg
I pulled a perch out to get even lower.
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm218/eskateboarding17/24f6f9b5.jpg
After getting them in David and I literally did DIY alignments for a good hour going anywhere from -10 camber to +5 camber, toe in to toe out, etc. Finally after it was safe to drive I noticed ungodly scrubbing on flat ground, noises, and inability to steer upon cornering.
Last night I pulled the fender liners and most issue on flat ground was resolved, however I still had problems with even the slightest bump in the road and any cornering. Here's a picture of the issue....
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm218/eskateboarding17/dace8eea.jpg
This image is taken inside the fender, that blue metal you see is actually the wheel arch support which is behind your fender liner. The unfortunate solution? Beat the living shit out of it with what Pulzone and I like to call the "special tool", also known as a mini sledge hammer!
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm218/eskateboarding17/a92195a6.jpg
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm218/eskateboarding17/dd190a23.jpg
I did give it another go with the hammer after a test drive and beat it senseless more and primed it to prevent rust, just don't have a picture. This time, 90% of the issues were gone, but upon spirited cornering I'm still contacting that metal. The only solution left is to go in with an angle grinder at another point in time. For right now, it's good enough to daily.
Here are a few shitty night shots of the results so far:

Ultimately, to my knowledge no one has gone to such lengths on the DC5 chassis to drop this low and try to eliminate this contact, at least it's not documented.

He can say it was his brother or cousin or whatever excuse he was trying to make, but unless it was a twin, he's lying. I remember his face and hair pretty well. It's just stuff that we don't need to deal with. Especially since we're getting so close to being kicked out as it is.

Based on his previous statements he's looking for a fun car to drive in all weather, not a track toy, so it's track performance is irrelevant. Both cars are well suited candidates. The X does sport some improvements in other areas which could lend to a better daily driver. As for the looks, that's totally a matter of opinion; I actually prefer the aesthetics of the X.

Grey housing headlights, no blinkers/lights in center grill (they're in the headlights), sidemarkers in the fenders, taillights should be yellow on the bottom (euro tails have the blinker on the bottom seperate from the brake light), and no focus badge on the left side. Only the st170 badge on the right side. As for the wheels, if you can find something with a fat five spoke, that would be great. If not, see if there is anything multispoke like my old centerlines like what's in my sig.

Why does every driver of a turbo car say "It makes 300/400hp ect....but its got a boost leak so it should be making a lot more." ......... Is there a turbo car that doesnt have a boost leak? I have yet to find one.
/rant :D
My car and dads car have no boost leaks and never had one for that matter. Well there was the one time the I/C piping blew off the throttle body? lol
Well then there's the answer, if all Evo's fall within his budget then why not get a X.
Like steve said- for a simple clean decently quick DD an X is fine, but let's face it- a guy with a 600+hp mustang (I think I got that figure correct) takes performance very seriously and I honestly cant see it being left "lightly modded"
Phil will take Steve up on his offer and call him and thats his best bet...

A slower vehicle's not going to help, you need to
A. Be more conscious of your speed and realize the balance between how far you can see to keep a lookout and how long it's going to take you to slow down if/when you see that cop.
B. Don't exceed the legal speed by such an excessive amount.

That's an issue that most people have, they rely too much on their radar detector which causes them to lose focus on their surroundings.

I'm doing a lot of work around the house and college though... Still gotta schedule that class for emissions certification...
I have no clue about points... I might lose my license due to that...idk.. I hope not..

Atleast your honest about it..
I just got a call from dad. I finally let him drive it with MY re-tune for the first time (I've been tweaking it 2-3 times a week for 2 weeks now since I don't take the car everyday). I put my tuner's map back in the car when I'm done so I know he's safe since he doesn't datalog every minute of driving time like I do. Anyway.... He's extatic!! lol He loves it and swears its noticeably quicker than before. I just need to square away one or two minor issues and do a severe abuse test and it'll be done.

Idk... My truck seems to run smoother at 70 my foot just naturally gets it up to speed... I constantly have to bring it back now that I'm not speeding.... Before is just let it go... 70 was a very controllable speed on every road I drive on... It's born into me to be a mechanic and go fast... ALL of my dads side are mechanics and my uncle on my moms side does 175 in the 1/4... Being able to control the urge is hard... It's natural and it takes will and maturity to control it...

If you talk to the soliciter (sp?) and explain your in school and trying to get a dergree in whatever and bring last quarter/semesters transcripts (hopefully they look good?) he/she might be willing to bargain with you and help you out. Its worth a shot. They just want your money, they dont care about your license.
Your problem is you don't have the greatest driving record so they may wanna rip tou a new one. :cry:

My father drives like a jackass from time to time and so do i, but thinking because your comfortable at 70mph doesn't mean its a safe speed. And thats the problem. You know you lack the maturity, so grow a set and be mature and slow down...

Eibach is definitely a hard-parkers type meet. I wouldn't say California is the worst state in the country though. Just like every other state, it greatly depends on which part you're visiting. I was in Long Beach a couple years ago for the SpoCom show and that wasn't a bad area...plus I know we're all in relationships but the eye candy is worth the trip to Cali as well.
In regards to blood mountain and stuff, after receiving my last ticket via Officer Cocks, I don't plan on going up there anytime soon except to appear for my jury trial.
Laurabeth and I will be taking a trip to Seattle relatively soon. That'll be a nice getaway.
