  1. Should be a fun car. I think I speak for many when I say, thank you for saving it!
  2. Any plans for this weekend? I'm dying to see this car in person.
  3. Damn that's impressive. What is the build list on that motor?
  4. Nice work! It's going to be even more fun to drive.
  5. Question about the JOM suspension. It looks identical to the TAtechnix stuff I have. Hitting moderate to large bumps in the road, I find it can send some bone crushing hits through the car. I have no bent wheels, but it feels rather painful to the car. What has been your take on them? Thanks!
  6. ​So, I kinda totally feel where that dude was probably coming from! lol
  7. I wouldn't go anywhere near your home. Thus the point. That's actually pretty badass, even though it's a novelty firearm. Wonder what it costs.
  8. Wow. That sounds extremely strenuous and convoluted. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to explain that. I'm sure you had to learn it all obviously. How do you feel about it? Are there ever attempts to remove these classification systems? Have you seen Mad Max?
  9. Could you explain this certificate of exemption - authority to drive high-powered vehicle please?
  10. FWIW, I because that lower seat hinge is located there... I didn't cut it at the bottom and after cutting 3 sides, bent that piece forward to replace the pump. I can assure you that after adding a metal strip and self tapping metal bolts accordingly, it's as strong as it was before I cut it. Used some metal duct tape to seal it.
  11. This is true... as I had to cut the floor on my 98 in order to replace it in a parking lot. However, I feel if done right, it's not so bad.
  12. If we just didn't have computers (except for law enforcement)... there wouldn't be bullying. How have I not made the connection before?
  13. That's actually pretty fucking clean. Well done.
  14. Nope, was just talking about the stock TA fronts. They are stuff as hell. I was asking on the rears, because I tried out some stock volvo shocks, and it was bounce city. The QA1's you have must be right. Don't have any extra sets, do you?
  15. May I go in with you on this so that I can have the pleasure of knowing I was involved somehow? This is awesome. lol
  16. Which is why I'm glad I have my truck.
  17. I'm interested on your impressions with the rear shocks. My guess is you will be putting them on their firmest available setting. I hope to hear they ride great. I think you will find the front is a bit stiff too. We are running many of the same items. I have the same front coilovers, same kalphenke top plates... the same rear springs and perches... a strikingly similar FPR setup, and even he same front and rear spacers. 20/25 Running an 18x8 wheels... ET 55, with 235/40/18 shoes. The kalphenke gear is the nicest gear in terms of quality that I've ever purchased. I think the front coil overs I may replace with koni yellow adjustable and drop springs. It's closer to a track stiffness and less streetable, IMO.
  18. I've been running that FPR setup for 35K miles. No issues with heat.
  19. Ugh. I wanna do88 intercooler too.
