Thanks for the compliments, though I cant take all the credit!
SCMP3, does this work? If you need a better photo LMK.

Brett.

That's a really nice car man I love it! You really hit the jackpot with a bunch of RARE parts on that car. I have the same bar except it's silver to match your STB. I haven't installed it yet so if you can post pics of the mounting I would also really like to see them.
Here is mine just sitting in place:

If there were only 7 STBs made I wonder how many rear STBs were made.

This is awesome , great news. Keeps making my day to hear that after all the little issues and times i've freaked out on this car its all paid off and is worth it. Ill try and get some photos IF it dries up. We are having quite the serious storms around here. If the humidty was higher im sure we'd see some pretty crazy funnels...

Wow nice MSP. When you say respray do you mean other than stock color? I wouldn't change it, it's a beautiful color. Great mod list so far. I had an MSP but sold it to my Brother, wish I could have finished it.

 

[TheBrat]

Nope it would be exactly how it is done now. But when I said respray I meant the engine bay. I'd like to tuck everything and clean it up and spray it. Thanks for the compliments/

Thought you guys might enjoy this.. Dont mind how shaky it is. The car grabs every groove in the road and it torque steers a bit (steering and holding phone) Just a quick blast on the way to work...


Question. Does anyone have issues with plugs "re-gapping" themselves? Im running a cooler NGK plug. V-power or something along those lines and my gap seems to get tight every couple days..

that's awesome looks almost as fast as my car was with a 28rs @ 9 psi. How much boost were you running in that vid?

Subbing. Looks like a car that was built with all the right parts from 4-6 years ago. Lots of rare and well made parts. Congrats!

Im not sure how much boost, since I wasent able to watch everything and drive. Should be around 18 pounds. I assume this turbo is pretty much maxed out as far as what its capable of. I'd like to swap turbos but I dont want to get in over my head. For what this car is, I enjoy it quite a bit and i've always had issues with idoling conditions etc. I dont want to give myself anymore issues...

Being that you are on a stock turbo i would turn the boost down a tiny bit. The 25r is at max efficiency around 16psi any more then that and you're just blowing hot air.

 

[TheBrat]

Thanks for the input, ill have to look into that!

Brett.

 

[TheBrat]

Woke up to this..

Brett.

lame. anything missing?

 

[TheBrat]

Nothing. Someone seems to just enjoy smashing windows. My neighbours truck got the same treatmant. I consider myself lucky that they didnt grab my Ipod, stereo or anything else but it still sucks.. Off to the wrecker when I wake up to try and find a replacement that i'll have to get tinted later!

Brett.

 

[TheBrat]

Well guys, cross your fingers for me.. Afraid to what I may wake up to. Like I had mentioned before we've been having pretty radical wether here..
Started with this..

A drive turned into this..

Had music on nice and loud in the house.. And heard this..

Praying those fuckers (pardon my language) didn't ding the crap out of the car... along with all my others..

Brett.

 

[SCMP3]

Wow that's crazy.

 

[hornsfan10609]

Damn sorry to hear about your luck. You don't garage that spicy from the Canadian weather?
