The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[INGREXCO]

Oh no that was TWISFM that gave up (for certain well-founded reasons). I am only selling my T20 turbo setup because I picked up the stock MSP setup from Metallic on the forums here and decided to go with that route. I still need your ass to come and help me with those awesome air tools

Do you have all the various parts for the turbo setup? I might have a few random odds and ends from my speed but not much if you need anything.

Stock airbox i think, hot ic pipe if you dont plan on upgrading.



I have had the stock turbo setup on and off my car many times doing various work so if you have any questions I might actually be able to give some advice here and there.

It's east of Columbus. Blacklick to be exact. I think you said you had your wedding that day or something tho....



Sounds like a plan.

On another note, I posted this in the other thread but here it is...

Well today was an eventful day. Went home to recharge my K&N filter and once that was done, I headed back to my apartment. On the way home at a red light, A trucker decides to cut it too close when braking towards the rear of my car and he hits me before he stops. Now I have a bunch of scratches, a couple of pretty deep gouges from his license plate and the screws and I wasted 2 hours of my day waiting for the cop since it was second shift. I would have just gone on my way after we exchanged info and called it in but when my mom got hit, she was given false info and ended up not being able to do a damn thing. I should be hearing back from his insurance company tomorrow so hopefully I can get this all nice and repaired. It is also now loose not where the bumper attaches to the rear quarter panel but where the plastic attaches to the wheel well if you know what I mean. Either way, I'm not touching it until all this insurance stuff goes through. Luckily he didn't hit me harder and I'm perfectly ok.

had golf tourney.. it got moved to sept 2nd.. weird day i know.. why are you doing this on friday though? wish it was a saturday.. i will see what i can do..

What turbo setup are you planning on running?

msp ecu? any piggy back?
mani, turbo, dp, intake?
Oil lines/ coolant lines?
Do you have a tapped oil pan?
fmic = metalic fmic kit.

Stock MSP turbo setup.
mani, turbo, dp -stock
Intake - metallic's
oil lines/ coolant lines - stock with the exception of the oil cooler which I won't be using.
Oil pan - Have a brand new one. Waiting for the fitting so I can have my buddy weld the fitting in place.
Management - Begi FPR and o2 clamp - most effective and easily tunable solution for us auto guys.

I think the only thing that's missing from the kit is the turbo feed line. All the other lines are supposed to come with it. I'll double check once it arrives from Metallic. Lol I gave metallic over a thousand bucks by now.

I have a monthly gig in Canton and always get my car valleted and my usualy guy who likes my car and actually takes care of it wasn't there, so some kid came out. I was like "Where's Daryl? -He has the night off. -Sheeeeeit, alright, just take care of her..." So he pulled away with my e-brake still on. Ugh. THEN on way from the gig, some dude was sweeping the alley/walkways where I drive out of the gig and got mad at me because he had to move, so he hit my car with his broom. My passenger and I flipped out and got out of the car and I yelled "Did you just hit my F***ing car with that broom?" He instantly got scared and apologized. I inspected my car because broom bristles can do some serious damage to paint. It was alright though. But I was so pissed I took my passengers Coke cup and threw it at the dude and told him some very unpleasant things.

People just have no respect for other people who actually take care of their cars. It was a rough night for my beloved P5...(pissed)

 

[zoomdoom]

should have hit his head with that broom lol(chair)

You should also take a look at what car he's driving. It may not work so well for you.

I'm going to attempt to change my rear springs (second time, got the p5 version the first time) and my awr endlinks. I don't think it'll be too hard but we'll see.
