Damn Tomo! Sorry dude!

Better get that fixed fast or it will rust like a ****! Gues we will be seeing it at Melton.

Would be a good time to buy Edgars mirrors and have them painted too. And insurance will cover it.

I think I am going crazy....now I am thinking about the Sportlines cause the prokit does not look low enough and Brad said that he loves his Sportlines on the Talon. But our cars have totally different suspension and ride heights. I was this car to ride good and handle great. I like to drive it hard and I don't want to worry about bumps and potholes and crap.


Inputs??

actually, im gonna stay with stock mirrors.. i saw the mirrors in person, and the mirror part was way too small.. but yea, its gonna be up at melton im gonna have to take off my TYCs and my take out my subs before i take it in...

one good thing, i needed that door repainted anyways.. had so many rock chips n stuff..


as for the springs i'd go with sport cuz it lowers more. but i like the slammed look. thats why im considering to buy the B+G coil setup so i can drop it 3"

Tomo: When you get them lets all help install them. I want to see these things go on. I like the B&G's too.

Well, I got a price from Autowerks to install my front Koni's when I get them for $140. That sounds pretty good to me seeing that they are a pain to do and that Autowerks seems to do good work. I also took a ride in MonteKev's Talon Saturday to check out his Sportlines. They were really bouncy but he said it was cause G-money did not cut the bump stops. So, I am going to help Kevin cut the bump stops and add some front lower bar so I can see how they ride without the bump stops. If it is not bouncy I am going with Sportlines. If it is bouncy then I don't want them. The bounceyness sucked. lol

Did you take it in yet? 5 weeks is a bit much. It took Fleet Auto Body 3 weeks to do my truck....fix damage that went the whole length of the bed, cut bumper and install roll pan, and paint the entire truck and 3 weeks was really long. If it is an insurance job they try to bust them out quick cause they know they are getting paid for them and getting paid good seeing that they rip them off anyway.

Oh, I found out my theory on a blow off valve was al wrong! I thought they were pressure regulators that you set and when it gets too much pressure it blow out. Well.....all it really is is a valve that when you get off the gas, the throttle closes and the air has nowhere to go so it blows out the blowoff. Learn something new everyday. Oh and I also learned that a Turbo regultor is nothing more that a valve spliced into a vacuum line. Too bad a turbo on our car is not worth the money.

im thinkin that if we wait a while, the prices on turbo kits will go down a bit and get all the kinks worked out. but you still wont be able to run high boost unless you build up your internals. so thats kinda the downside of the turbo. but wat about that multiclutch blower that tim made for the delsols? wonder if he could make those for our cars[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
