How's the motor, Mike?

threw this decal/cutout on the third brake light. Had the thought of doing this a while ago and was debating how best to accomplish the logo when my brother smartly checked ebay and found this immediately. I think it looks good, still have to check it out at night.

Yea get someone to snap a picture of that at night... probably stands out like crazy.

which clutch exactly is it and why did you pick that one ? and whats going on this weekend ? a meet ?

I started the rear suspension and will finish install next weekend.
I will donate the Cobb springs and stock struts to a young friend and help him replace his blown strut.

Oakland why do you have heat soak ?
Maybe you need a bigger nasty intercooler like an ETS 3.5 i just happen to have in my garage takes a long time to heat soak and shorter period to recover. 20 hp too i will through in the SU five ply boost tubes

 

[Domino81]

BNR & HTP... good combo. The key to bigger numbers.

 

[ericrapp]

aww.. so cute in it's kitty bed

 

[Domino81]

It's funny you say that because it's not supposed to be a devoted kitteh bed... even though they've claimed it for their own and it's pretty much useless as a piece of furniture now.

Just a stock intercooler is all.....a general observation

Id love another intercooler, any mods really. With the right amount of time and money i could go all 8.5MS3 on my s***
