The tool limits the amount you can crush the fuel regulator in the vice to .015" which increases fuel pressure by 10 psi.

let me know specific time when you go so i can watch it on my computer


btw.. did you get a estimate on custom installing base aspec lip on a typeS bumper before? if i forfeit my 5day vegas vacation, i'll might be able to get a lip or the black roof done. or both if i make up a really good excuse.

I dont plan on ever running my car at the strip any more.

I never got a cost on the base lip. I planned on doing the fab myself, i have all the tools i need. And my cost for paint is alot less than normal. I was gonna have it painted at the same time my trunk was re-done so paint would already be mixed. $150 for front end when i did it all at the same time. That included; Trunk, CSL Spoiler, Front Bumper, Base Lip.

oh so you were going to trim and bondo it at home and just get it painted at the shop.

i saw some guy who just trimmed the corner slightly and made it to fit without needing further bodywork. hmm..

what a morning. So my gf has a client to drive to in walla walla so she asked me to change her oil. I did that yesterday and this morning she tells me the car wont start while I'm at work. I had to leave work and I guess her car cant handle 5 qts. I had to drain about a qt and it started up just fine. You would think a Rav4 can handle more then 4 qts.

Hey Kyle, so I was checking out your teams cars. What the heck does your friend Kevin do as a living? I saw that Lambo yesterday, I think he lives near me cause I see it often and that thing is money.

bluecarbonfiber

a trick i do is fill the oil checking the dip stick till its in the middle of the 2 lines then i start the car for about 2 minutes.. then let it sit for a minutes.. check the level again usually the engines will suck alittle oil to lube itself again then fill it back to the middle again.. and then i am good to go

bluecarbonfiber

there is a guy by my house that owns a business drives a black lambo and a nice bmer with chrome rims.. makes me jealous when i see that lambo.. mm mm good

after all of this cool weather, 98 is going to feel like 198...

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

Im not looking forward to it. Took the AC down a couple weeks ago...dont feel like putting it back.

bluecarbonfiber

its only a fast heat.. specially if it gets to 55 at night.. so you know the heat at that temp only lasts for a few minutes.. its the build up that sucks

clee109

^ ack I still don't like it!

clee109

east wind so crazy today, left my home in Bethany temp was 71! got to hillsboro on shute road to work and it's only 50!!!!

bluecarbonfiber

^^ i dont think its the east wind.. its the temp gauge in our car that are slow.. when i started mine up it said 70 and then about 4 minutes later it was 58

clee109

that would mean that when iGoogle said it was 71 in Portland and 52 in hilsboro it was wrong to?

bluecarbonfiber

no clue.. i just assumed you were going off your temp gauge in the car haha

it felt like 60 at my house so i know when it said 70 in my car it was off but after a couple min the temp in my car shows the correct temp

anybody good here with shipping? I sold a lip kit to a member on here and not sure what the best way to ship it is? Can I just wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it like that ups?

clee109

I did a lip once, bubble wrapped it then boxed it with popcorn

bluecarbonfiber

^^ concur

shipping a lip kit is pain in da ass if you haven't saved the original box.

you gotta ship it so the lip don't get damaged during the shipment, unless buyer may request a refund or you'll get bad reputation here.

sT04Louis

Fedex will make custom boxes.

When i shipped a spoiler a while back i had them make one. It was like $60 to ship with materials. Worth it though when it comes to delicate parts though.

Spotted a SSM 2nd Gen TL lowered with a Lip Kit on factory 5 spokes.

Clackamas Town Center Macaroni Grill parking lot around 12:15....Anyone here?

fobstylez

iTrader: (3)

doesnt sound like anybody from this chat. Bonk, TL_type s, and myself all over ssm 2nd gens. I want to say bonk doesnt have a lip kit.

fobstylez

iTrader: (3)

Dont really want to but I guess thats what I have to do. The front and rear lip are beat and needs to be repainted.

bonknhead

You're right - I don't have a lip kit

It wasn't me. I was over at St. Vincents around 12:30 though.

So i was back at the mall again this evening and the same SSM 2nd Gen was still there. It is lowered, full lip kit, and personal plate saying "SIK WIP"

Also, parked a couple spots down from me when i came back to my car was a 3rd Gen NHBP TypeS with full TypeS lip kit, slight drop (possibly aspec) and RON Jon Inspires in Chrome.

spending more time than what i used to spend for writing research papers during school days

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

I can go trim mine and send you a picture of it??? lol.

Hopefully i can hold on to this stuff if i get a part time job soon.

School starts on monday

iTrader: (2)

or can you take a pic where and how much trim it might need before you get busy with the school?

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

Will do, they are actually hanging on the wall in my garage right now. It really isnt much to trim, i have them sitting on top of each other as they would be on the car.

yea I was changing her oil so I told her to just take my car. Didnt think she was going to curb them to hell like that. O well, its not too bad with my rim color but still an eye sore.

bluecarbonfiber

bondo and sand it down then get some silver paint to match, call it good...

mine on the other hand i need to grind it smooth then sand it with 5 different grits to get the polish look again then re clear coat it.. wayyyyyyyy to many steps
