Haha thanks guys. Update on the install - couldn't get under the car. Girlfriend felt bad, used her firestone card to have it installed for me tomorrow morning

Happy Birthday and well at least it will get installed soon!

I decided to get off my lazy ass and install the Mtec shifting springs for our cars. Was also going to try to install the BPS short shifter, but that has been moved to next weekend. Getting the 2 bolts off for the shifting springs proved to be a challenge and not having a 27mm socket did not help things. But they are on the car now. Ill report back with my findings on the springs as they should make shifting smoother.

Installed the the Winjet fog lights today. Didn't take 1 hour lol. Took 3-4. Didn't have the proper tools and we tested it before we put it on. All in all it looks great and the fitment is a little off. I'm gonna take some pics a Lil later

I think I have decided to do a turbo. If I do turbo no need to buy headers and my unresonated Perrin catback might be ok since turbos muffle sound pretty good.

I have the avo kit and it's really well put together. Easy to install as everything bolts up on point.

I believe there's some cutting and plumbing for oil lines with other kits. Whatever route you take it'll be day and night difference!

Same here. I used the Subaru Outback fog lights instead but install time was still 3-4 hours not including replacing the stalk but I had a separate issue with that alone that added an extra hour to my time. Overall though I couldn't be happier. Also another reason it took so long is because we were testing things as well and my brother, who did the wiring, is a bit on the anal side about how everything goes together. It turned out great though because you couldn't tell it didn't come from the factory the way it is.

Dustin · 02-10-2014, 04:07 PM

Anyone know why Dustin got banned? I went to pm him a question about his sc. Was curious if he used a boost cylinoid when he went to 70mm and noticed it

@20firestorm13 Cant be sure but I am willing to be it has something to do with the Nameless header thread. Ever since he bought one of their headers he became very aggressive in the thread to anyone questioning or not praising their header.

Yup, that would be correct. He will be back in a month. It was more about FRSMat complaining about things being to loud with his exhaust that Dustin blew up about. But you should still be able to read it all in the thread.

Hmm. Not to abruptly change the subject. But I can't remember who brought up the idea to start an Arlington meet. Walking to class now, so I can't look it up.

20firestorm13 · 02-14-2014, 04:06 PM

Well poop. That sucks. Alright next question. Anyone here familiar with ecutek? Lol. Was curious if I am able to use someone else's cable like on a track day for logging and such

bjun · 02-14-2014, 04:25 PM

I believe the cable you can share amongst others if that's what you're asking.
