right, so it takes some manner of skill to win a race from a dig in a FWD.

this is true.
if you launch in a higher gear, it might yield better times...like 2nd gear.
same goes for miguel.. if he gets a custom gear ratio, he will have a better chance especially if they design the gears for launching the fwd.

knowing your car and having a good RT will win you races even if you're matched against far superior cars. I had a buddy who was beating up on evos with his cavalier Z24. He had bolt ons and nitrous.

Guys, you are going offtopic, sure it's about our cars, but two pages back about the meth, you guys went on forever with that (2 pages for me because I do 40 posts a page) but cooldown on getting away from the topic at hand. If you guys want to talk about doing something to your car take it to a new topic.

Well I got the ATP wastegate put in, but the new steedspeed didn't go in so easily. The shop couldn't get it on because one of the stud holes had the thread covered by coating apparently and now there is a stud broken off in it. ******* great. I have no idea if I can even get my money back from Leen.
Oh I think my stock WGA was definitely on it's way out because the car is much smoother going into boost now. Still need a tune desperately though.

leen will work with you. he's a good guy.
but congrats on the other stuff..
i find it really hard to believe about the coating.. that'd have to be a huge amount of coating..

I was waiting for someone to post about that Outlaw..
but ya Ricktalife, it just made me realize that I should prob. check mine, I am pretty sure my wga is fine and that it is most likely the fuel cut I hit when it is cold out, but after my old one going, these wga's go easily.. always prepared for the next thing to break/go bad lol, but soo happy I don't have a squeaky break anymore after replacing my front right caliper! so nice. just need some warmer weather finally

That was my first thought too. The holes aren't threaded; if there's a little coating in the way, it would take a few seconds with a file or drill bit to open it up.

Yea I'm not bashing leen he has already helped me out though so I mean I don't know how much he can do for me. I'm not exactly sure what the guys at the shop were doing but they got it stuck in there so maybe I can get it out with some vice grips who knows.

ya I would check to see what the guys at the shop did, unless you know them or something, I would assume they did something to make that happen rather than the product..

+1. it's easy to blame the product when you weren't there to see what happened.

that and like I said, unless you know the guys, the shops will be quick to place blame on parts rather than saying they screwed up
