eibachs for the GK now up front. they're a little softer and about 2 cm higher. no more damn fender rubbing. anybody who complains about the regular ones being too hard, especially after you've just eaten, these will fix the problem right up.

indeed not. sh*tterms coming up.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>hkc your car looks slow</div>
not to the protective soccermoms in the neighborhood! every time i drive by this one annoying street i hear a woman's voice convert into a man's, "AAYYYYYY!" i love tint because it makes them look stupid and when i pass them i'm actually going slow and they see nothing but blackness and realized they just shouted crazily in front of everyone for some reason. i don't know what it is but i've pissed a lot of pedestrians off just by driving normally too. i always thought it was because tiburons are so nimble. something about the this car upsets people.
i raced a U.S. postal service delivery truck. he beat me WHILE getting paid for it =*( pathetic.

i really really want to put this badass alpine in there so bad. it would be bolt on, but the reliability is more important sad.gif i feel like it shouldn't belong to me at the same time it's too rare and good to give up for the price it's worth.

so i finally bolted on Viper966's strut bar that originally didn't fit. i banged the strut bolt inward with a cloth and sledge. it worked. i also painted the front plastic piece, painted cowls. PRD wires, NGK plugs gapped to 0.039 , evo8 2 column radiator, 4 X HID's with relay airram & 65mm system bbtb with cruise control and electronic idle control.
i'm having another resonator put in the back of my exhaust because it buzzes without that shuge nice sounding 36'' glasspack i had before. it's all 2.5'' stainless down there now, with a brand new cat.
F2 door sills were supposed to be at my door al-gddamn ready. i painted all the scuffs and filled in most of the dings. if anybody has a CF OEM hood, i want it!

so over the past year i did a lot of work and spent more money and the car still isn't faster. woohoo!

I can relate to that remark. Lol.
It looks good though. Had any trouble with your System BBTB? Mine gave me tons of trouble (for the Accent) culminating in a stuck open throttle high speed run requiring me to kill the engine and coast to a stop. The butterfly shaft seems to be loose. Honestly I was so mad when I pulled it I haven't even looked at it to try to figure out the problem. Lol.

you don't say! no i haven't had any problems with it. that's weird but thanks for the heads up. i don't know how that could have happened. it's the first time i'm hearing this. you should check the 2 screws on the butterfly valve. maybe SFR can send you new ones, or you can have mine. the head tore off one of our cheap sh*tty small TPS screws and won't come out of the TB making it defunct.
yeah i'm going to get a new camera shortly. portfolio submission for design are due in 2 weeks and i got a 4X rotor job for a friend in line. no time!!
