KauaiMP5's "build" Thread

i dont know crap about sc our turbos, does anyone have a link that i can educate myself with? or even a link as to where to find a real sc?
 
anything electronic isnt worth the money, and will probably break within the first month of use
but at least you admitted to not knowing anything lol check out the honeywell/garrett website for info on turbos,
not too sure where you can find info on a SC...but there essentially the same thing, except SC is belt driven, and turbo is exhaust driven
 
despite the negative reviews of protegegarage and their slowness, i just got the email that said my order has been shipped!!!!!! so far so good. i kept buggin Ken with emails and we worked something out and hopefully my package will bring me to new level in the protege game

also, installed two 12s and a 1000 watt amp, not sure if i need a capacitor yet, any thoughts?
i also decided to buy eyelids...
 
couple front end exterior mods
now i just need darrels front lip and i'll be happy =)

I would get a capacitor....never hurts to have the extra voltage if you need it or not
with 2 twelves im thinking you might need it
 
I ran 2 12's and dual 4000w amps and not cap but I ran 0 gauge wire. I would recomend a cap so you will not need the thick wire and bigger battery. Install the rims already....
 
so what suspension did you get? i remember my skunk2 went low=)
 
i need your help people!
i got into a fender bender and bent my radiator support...

how do i fix this????
i think i also bent my bumper thing... the solid metal piece with the foam attached
 
well first you have to take the bumper off to see the damage, if you bent the crash bar you must have hit somebody pretty hard lol
once your bumper and crash bar is off, its pretty easy to see where the damage is. When my brother hit someone and bent his support in, we just pulled it back out with the stock scissor jack hook/handle piece and now you cant even tell lol

was your hood popped in that pic? i hope so
 
If you really did bend the s*** out of the rad support get a spot weld bit and get to work on all the weld's then just pull it off and weld the new one in.I did this to my 94 teg when I put the jdm type r front end on.
 
my hood was popped up but it wont lock back down... it goes all the way to sit flush, but it just doesnt lock into position...
idk, im gonna look into it today to see how bad the damage really is... if at all possible i wanna try and bend everything back into place. if not, i might go with a "no-bumper" theme soon lol

the kicker is that my car got ****** when the other car barely got a scratch... fml
