i'm sorry, i will have a update when i get off work that will make up for the hooks.

[Sammich]

yo can you take some dimensions of the tow hooks? i wanted to try to get a set cut here at work but didnt have access to a set to take dimensions. at least of the one that's straight w/ no curves in it

[Austin?]

NOOOoooo!!! Not a tow hook!!

[-EnVus-]

Must plan on it breaking down it Tow hooks are in mind lol

[Tree]

Shit, it's a stock sohc with 417k on it. It's bound to happen at some point

[RandomGuy]

just trace it on some paper and take a pic of it next to a ruler

you can probably just scale it in photoshop and the holes will be right

[Sammich]

true...trace it and give me one dimension (diameter of the circle and thickness of the plate/hook) to scale it off of and i can try to get it made...i just wanted to test it out

[Sammich]

thanks man...i'm going to try to get this done sometime soon..at least have it drawn up in solidworks

[Drummerboy]

when I read "wet shot" I almost said "you spelled gt35r wrong", but I see you're boosting now. good job tree!

Was it a straight trade for the 240? even with issues, seems like you got the short end of the stick.

you still with beth?

opps, well thank. thanks for pointing that out. yes i did trade the car straight up, it need more work then i wanted to up in. this car runs great, has no b/s to deal with, i can just get in and go unlike the 240. yes we are together, three years on the 29.

[Drummerboy]

haha, I'm an engineering student, it'll never be done.

But the "current" goal is to build the f20a in it, big boost, rev to 9500. Make 5XX.
Drive a few months.
Take it all apart, fab up a rear end, K-frank build, big boost, awd, 6spd.

Can you measure the gap where the I-bolt goes on those camber arms? I'd like to see if I can make them work for my car. Nobody makes anything for mine...
