While I was gone..... [NEW CONTENT!]


was quite interesting to see all those sigs and stuff... kinda odd... you guys crack me up. lol

but anyways.. here's what I've been up too. =]

before and after for you ladies..

BEFORE



AFTER




for those that are clueless.. i swapped manifolds to the type-s one and the throttle body as well.. Injen uses the same pipe for both CL-S 6spd and TL-P so i reused my Injen and the rubber connecter.... no harm. Used the MSD 8969 RPM window switch but am having a little trouble with getting it to read the RPM wire.. but thats watever...

Then...

yes...

my.. wheel whore slutness.. blah blah blah..











REAL AUTHENTIC RacingHart C4 18x8.5 18x9.5
using 215/40 and 225/40

in other news...

car failed smog... guy opened my hood and just said fail right there.. didn't bother to test it.. gonna be making a few changes now... or..... undo the changes..

checked two engine codes too..

5AT ftl......

anyways....

good to be..

free......

I seen you on VSC congrats
the specs are less aggressive on these so i don't rub anywhere..

after having my car raised up and on stock wheels.. i enjoyed that more than anything... smooth and quiet ride..

i can go lower about another 3" on the thread, but that means frame planting. lol and thanks!

no... unpractical for me..
cars going more for looks than power.
reason i did the type-s mani swap was cuz it looks better than the... scrawny, skinny base one.
