Going to go get a metal pipe today to fit onto my breaker bar so I can break these damn axle nuts loose. They haven't come off since the engine went in.
the torch can be your friend on this
Tuesday it is then. Let me know!

Blah, car no workie so welll in Rain
Phil - I wanna run the SVT Cobra. If I were to ever buy one (which I have considered in the past, it would definitely have to be competition orange). I really like that color.
Care to say what mods are on the car, if any?
what fun is AWD
they are a little small............I can see a building and trees though
sorry it's cuz I did this on my iPodthey are a little small............I can see a building and trees though
it's on mobile photobucket
try lookin at my photobucket page bbuba68
yeah, that place does look cool. My 53 is now running (and stopping) and will be home Tuesday.............
where is that warehouse?
Behind my warehouse in PTC works well for pics too, I have used it a bunch for stuff...
Thx
yeah, good work finding this.............
Try 5 Perry street newnan ga
Downtown Newnan near the police department?
We will have to make a night of it if Phil's Buddy is up for it. Maybe Tnomud can bring out his M3? I know that thing is in the 12's as well so it would also make for a good run. Maybe South East Drag Day? At least its fully legal there and no one has to worry about getting arrested!

It's downtown ... But not by the police dep i don't think... I think it's behind a post office
Sooo ive been really wanting an ek lately and ive found a dude who might swap straight up,opinions? Only mods are
motor completely stock 220k
lowered on coilover sleeves w/tokico shocks and skunk2 front and rear camber kit
Depo blackhousing "CTR" headlights
Depo "SIR" fog lights
"CTR" front and rear lip and grill
short shifter w/ skunk2 weighted knob
IIRC, my car is like a low 13 sec. car stock. I am down about 500 lbs, up about 100HP, so who knows. Math would say 12's. 80MPH to 180MPH is where it shines. But, traction is a big problem now. Controlled electronically and Trac. Control Comes on instantly and until about 60-80. Turn it off and it pounds the rev limiter. I hope it gets better when it warms up.We will have to make a night of it if Phil's Buddy is up for it. Maybe Tnomud can bring out his M3?

Those Cobras are monsters though. My buddy has one that is stupid fast with bolt ons.
pics please.. i want some!
of?
Jason, Steve and whoever else-If the weather is nice my buddy will bring out the Cobra to the meet on Friday but I can say im 99% sure he wont run you on the street. Right now it only has a CAI but its still very peppy. It wont stay this stock for very long I can promise you that. He should be handing me my own ass in no time haha.

Nice video Joe!
Steve and I were already planning on clay bar and waxing my car today. Too bad my car couldn't look that good. Acid rain FTL..

a good medium grade clay, polish and wax will do wonders on acid rain soaked paint.Nice video Joe!

Like billy said a good polish will do wonders. While it wont remove most acid rain marks (and hard water spots) it will greatly reduce the look. Also using a glaze after you polish will help fill those acid rain marks then topping with a good wax will also help.Nice video Joe!

Clay for me only works on hard water marks (when it leaves deposits) otherwise clay wont do anything for the etching because its below surface.
Hmm, looks good man, but I would consider that a down grade!Sooo ive been really wanting an ek lately and ive found a dude who might swap straight up,opinions? Only mods are

You'll be losing alot of "luxury" such as power options and a sun roof.
Don't get me wrong, it looks good from the picture, but I'd rather keep you teg. its clean!
i think thats relative to ones taste
^^Depends on what you consider a downgrade...
Looks, maybe
Speed, yes
Luxury, yes
eh, Corbin knows whats up! Its ultimately up to you, dude!
I loved my hatch when I had, but I got rid of it cause of body problems, and the lack of creature comforts. I was looking for a teg myself when the option of an s2000 popped up.
I are too talk for s2k. I say gimme a G35!!! Nom Nom Nom
im 6'2" and i fit fine in my s2k
Im 6'1" and I can fit. But its just not comfortable to me. But i wouldn't turn one down if i was given the choice.

An old AF friend of mine has an '03 thats running 10.5's right now with a small bit of work. Fucking things a beast! The last motor he had in it was putting down 671 RWHP on only 7 cylinders. Had some major problems with that one on the dyno and ended up having to tearing it back down and going with his current combo.
If I make it out to the meet on Fri it will prob be in one of my daily drivers as I dont think the shitbox will be done by then. I still gotta put the dash back in, finish up some more wiring and bleed the brakes. But I totally understand the street thing. Not too many streets around the Newnan area where we could get it done at right now that would give us some decent traction.

I see,the only thing that i really dont like is no power windows or locks but i would try and get those converted to power later on probably. If i kept the teg i would just end up getting a swap done so either way ill end up swapping the engines most likely. I really dont like the paint on my teg so thats one of the reasons im thinking about trading as well. Im still on the fence though,so we'll see.
anybody have anything good or bad to say about B&G springs? Found a deal on a set and am thinking about ordering them tomorrow when I get home from S. Carolina.
