Low and Slow
More picture whoring...
Repainted the lip and washed and waxed her. Still need to clean the engine bay before the 3/28 meet and get another alignment. Got a lot more negative camber on the right side compared to the left.

lol. no.
idk, i shift at 3300 rpm and on the highways generally cruise between 70-80 depending on speed limit (55=70, 65=80) lol. i dont use cruise control and around 80, my rpms are up near 3k..
in town i try and keep em down to about 2500 or so (aside from when im going 40.. awkward speed limit for our gear ratio. its too slow for fourth, and towards the end of third)
i use regular old 87 pump gas and i rpm match my downshifts and double clutch under load.. then again i only have 53k on my car, so maybe someone needs a seafoam? :-p
EDIT: one of my mechanic friends made a comment about my gas mpg increasing because of my intake.. its not the first time heard this, but maybe?

Jammer you make that color look BA, even with the stockies on.
[QUOTE=South Jersey CL;10670920]swift: the x is looking nice, i like what youre doing with it. may i suggest a grill guard?
Thanks , grille guards are a waste of money, they do more harm than good. I just need to take a low blow and spend the money on an actual off-road bumper. ARB/Shrockworks. Those thing are solid.

When it comes to gas mileage, my car sucks. I filled it to a 1/2 tank and drive aggressively occasionally and got.....99 miles. To a damn 1/2 tank. Drove normally and i ended up with like 146 to a 1/2 tank. Either way its like a damn gas guzzling 4 cylinder lol. I think i do need to get my injectors checked out though, being that they ran 100% duty cycle when they malfunctioned for 2 weeks and you should only be running them intermittently to like 80%. Might be time for my 450cc's.

Three Wheelin'
Awesome photos YtseJammer. 
That's the perfect time of day to take pictures. Too bad it only lasts less than 30 minutes.
The car looks great. I'd like to see it with a '97 grill.

No, I didnt use a board thank you haha. All i did was pull up and cut the wheel into it. the climbed it, and it was even wet, as you can see in the pics. Im going to remove my rear sway bar and then go try it again and see if my tire stays on the ground longer.

Well you are 4x4 enough ohhhhhhhhhh burn
whats wrong with the stock suspension? it can obviously handle it, it might not enjoy it, but it can handle it. And if and when I do blow something, then Ill upgrade, ill probably upgrade before i blow something though. Im pretty frequently on the forums anyways. Im at 518 posts. So thats alot of researching and shittt. lol

Went down to Lake Havasu, Arizona for spring break, here's a couple pics of the CL down in the AZ sunshine. And I know, the right rear center cap needs chromed
