well remember I scraped comin out last time. well now the springs are settled and since I traded wheels with johnny and his tires on there were 215/35/18 and my stock was 215/50/17 it actually lowered the car even more so I am not sure I can pull in your drive way lol

No problem I'll PM you with my phone #BlueMP5Dave said:
Got my resonator taken off the car today. I don't hear much of any difference. Even on the freeway it doesn't even resonate that much at all. Almost seems stock if you ask me. I hear a bit of a difference but not much. It feels as though it has a bit more top end though, maybe like 2 hp..hehe!! Butt Dyno was right on....
I just ordered a set of cross-drilled/slotted rotors and Axxis pads for the MSP. The factory ones suck some mucho ass, and Dealer won't replace so fock them. Anyway, can't wait to get these on, from the sounds of it they work mucho better then stockers... can't wait.

What up johnny? the new brakes do look gooder... just consider yourself lucky that you dont have to deal with my set up (4 lug & drums). cant wait to see em on the car.
by the way i finally moved the MAF and you were right, it made a big difference!

sweet bro, congrats...hopefully the car will pull the way it should now.... Going to paint wheels soon... Tim, if your on here we should schedule a day that we can do yours as well... they could use a touchup on them. I'm going to spot filler these ones on mine, Cory's 16's and paint them gunmetal.
Yeah, so do I.... I want to paint my wheels this sunday, going to sand them, and use some body filler where needed and then paint them gun-metal.... I'm hoping for this sunday.. but things can happen, I have a program due at school on tuesday so I may not be able to... but I'm going to try. Going to sand all the rough edges smooth and use a bit of body filler... hehe, going to look smooth.

My car is going in the air tonight, for repair and a new set of trailing links and a sway bar swap. If anyone wants to come over and watch just let me know 642-1856. Timba I need to drive your car anyways.
Hi Dave, hows it going? what sway bar you putting on? AWR? Anything up? I'm should be getting a OBX header as soon as I get paid. I broke my windsheild tuesday so money is going to have to go for a replacement. I really want some new wheels but, I want something different which in-turn means alot of $$$. So are you going turbo yet? Hope family is doing well. Louie

All is well, I put a set of AWR trailing links on with a 21.5mm swaybar kit with adjustable endlinks. The car handle like a dream now
, a very nice addition. The rest of the repair I can talk to you about in person. I have access to lots of differnet wheels. My windshield is also cracked, I have been lazy about getting it repaired. Turbo project is permanently on hold for at least a 1.5 years. I have orders to Korea and will be leaving next Febuary for there. So I don't want the wife to have any problems. Mostly the car will be returning to stock, engine wise so that the wife will be able to take it to a regular mechanic to do oil and such. Suspension wise I will be finishing up with a upper rear strut tower bar and that will be done. I will be completing brake with a set of Rotora slotted rotors (on the garage floor now) and Endless pads all the way around. Turbo is in the future for that car but not until it is a little older. I am going to sell the turbo manifold I have. It is just siting in the garage right now. By the time I get ready I will probally just buy a kit. Well I have ranted enough. I might be able to do something this evening. I just got finished working on the car. So bedtime, Chat more later

congrats Dave on all the mods.... I've ordered my AWR motor mount and hopefully that will cure my wheel hop that I'm getting. I also got a set of CF tail lights coming... oh yeah.. and they don't have that lame red piece on the side either. They should be here this week. Oh Dave, I'm going to order those springs today and hopefully we'll have them by this next weekend for the install. I should have my brakes, my tails, and my mount in this next weekend. We need a mod meet. I want to paint my wheels and calipers while I'm putting on the new brakes as well. Going to paint them graphite Duplicolor wheel paint color.
