  1. Quite the opposite actually. This will be my family cruiser for me, my wife, and my daughter.

    Daughter !!!! man i've missed some things since i've been gone.......here's a belated congrats to you and the wife. She's fortunate to have a great set of folks.

    p.s.-the new project is sweet

  2. Bosch Copper FR7DC plugs .025" gap, a bit over a buck each most places

    MSD plug wires and coil lead with hotter coil, oem Bougicord or Magnecor are fine for stock coil

    oem cap and rotor

    K&N air filter or oem if you like paper and not oil (EurosportTuning intake if you want looks and sound)

    oem fuel filter

    MANN oil filters

    Walbro fuel pump, less than $100 (search and read up)

    oem fuel pump relay

    oem 87°C thermostat (aftermarket is fine)

    Samco turbo hoses (or RIP kit if you must)

    Bosch 02 sensors

    good quality vacuum lines (Hosetechniques.com or Stylin)

    oem radiator hoses (silicone not necessary at all)

    thats all I can think of at the moment for stage-zero

    nice and precise......sweet

  3. I see. Wife has the car but I asked her to pull the number off the windshield. She said it was "hard to understand" but she believes it is, YV1LT58AXX2593618. I will pop the hood and check the engine number when I get home

    does this VIN check out.....

  4. It hasnt been on the car for a while but it recently returned with my cylinder head from the machince shop. Its nice option for those who dont want an 18t-19t and the hassle of new injectors and 20 remaps later to get it running right. I ran it on an UPsolute chip w/15psi map, boost controller at 17psi, on the stock injectors with no problems. I dont drag my car or beat it on it all that much so I wasnt worried about blowing anything up. The only snafu I had with it was since mine is conical flange I had to get a new downpipe. It definitely pulls harder than my stock 15g thats on the car now. Its freshly rebuilt, lightly ported and clean. I hope to get it back on the car soon.

    thanks

  5. Reading topics doesn't get you any closer to your e-mail address though :P

    Reading is a good way to learn things, but posting also helps others, either by giving new ideas, or different standpoints, or just a :) when someone had something bad happen (busted wheel on a pothole for instance).

    I waited about 3 days before I started posting, then I never stopped.

    My life on VS summarized in a nutshell

    before i even registered i floated between here and SS, and they dont post very much over there. sometimes it may take up to 1-2 days before a thread is even replied to, whereas here you can start a thread, be it stoopid or informative , and it will be replied to in 10-15 mins max. B)
