[Slammedslug]

Hey donny give me a Text asap

 

[jumaaneface]

PSo a few updates 5/2/13

Fund a used turbo and manifold here on the forums, the guy with the turbo was also nice enough to include his ATP wastegate.

Video of my old turbo next to my new one
Delayed for now I uploaded the wrong one..

Heat shield restored


After replacing those 2 things I must say the car is night and day now. I can't believe how crappy it was running when I first bought it. It's my first time driving it 100% fixed lol

Glad to hear my turbo worked out for ya

 

[MP3DG]

I was a little bored today so I painted some things that were scuffed up already

 

[CHIQLES]

[MP3DG]

Thanks

Some updates 5/27/13
I cut out my second cat which I could Harley see through.
Installed a boost gauge

Also cut out the rust in my rear wheel wells

 

[MP3DG]

Few updates :

The rust In The wheel wells has been fixed

Also picked up a neo chrome knob

Picked up some brand new wheels for a really good price so it doesn't bother me to much that they're knock offs ha

 

[protege3690]

wheels look pretty nice, they look like BBS/Koing roller wheels. what specs?

 

[MP3DG]

Yeah I'm a huge fan of the style but they're STR 601 17x7.5 et40 not as wide as I wanted but it'll do for now. Getting my fenders rolled tomorrow!

 

[protege3690]

hmm.. with that set up i dont think you would need to roll. i have evo8 wheels on mine. 17x8 +38 and i rubbed at first only in the rear. im at -1.0 degrees of camber. i might get a roll just because i do rub when i go over bumps with a passenger in the back. but my front end was completely fine lowered on tein springs also. but all it wouldnt hurt to have a roll. lol

 

[MP3DG]

Good to know I was a. Little worried about rubbing. I finally have them mounted

 

[protege3690]

they came out looking nice. i def wanna get konig roller wheels for mine later on. you need more low though bro haha.

 

[MP3DG]

I will get more low soon I just need to roll my fenders ha the rears rub when someone is the back seat with my blown struts haha

haha, im on the same boat as you are. 123k on my original tokicos. ill either get a new set of tokicos blues all around with eibach sleeves. or probably pick up either some k-sports or yellowspeeds if i decide to go full coilovers.

 

[MP3DG]

I wish I could afford coilovers. Struts and springs is what I have to go with I just got some stagg struts but am waiting on the springs I still have yet to roll the fenders.

Updates:
3.5" fogs with 3k bulbs

eBay FMIC with a Type RS BOV, MAF relocated

Replaced my blown rear struts with stagg struts and put on some M2 springs. Ride is a lot better than when I had originally purchased it. Hoping the rear settles a little more then I'll be 100% happy with them.

 

[mazdaspeedp]

im running stag struts too. THey are good s***

 

[MP3DG]

well I needed some money for my wedding so I sold the Racing harts to a guy with a Speed3, I had some pgt swirlies laying around with some almost new tires so I threw them on, they'll be on until spring when I'm either going with some rota grids or Tenzo R Meister

 

[hornsfan10609]

Damn, times are tough

 

[jeffmsp]

why they are nicer than steelies for the winter.

 

[MP3DG]

yeah I was a little worried they would rub because of the 40 offset they have but they actually sit more flush than stock racing harts! although the swirlies are totally hideous, but you're right jeff better than steelies
