Cool cool and did you teflon tape the sensor?? I was told the sensor grounds itself through the threads?

Razi wrote:Yeah, it was pretty close with that manifold, but the heatwrap helped it from getting too hot and boiling.

But, I don't have to worry about that now that I got a KA/SR hybrid manifold from Motoman399.



I have about 2 or 3 inches of clearance from my brake lines now.
Woot!

super clean looking razi! how is the power difference? or is there?

Boost comes on sooner.
I like!

Costa, I don't think I put teflon tape on it, might've used silicone gasket maker though, I can't remember.

Do work, son.

Sup Cesar!

what up dude. awesome thread!

Thanks!

I just need to lower the car more and I'll be happy.

How low are you going to go?

Dunno, probably as low as I can go before my tire starts hitting the wheel well on the freeway I guess.

Nice. Are you going to flip the front brackets on your coils?

Probably won't need to haha.

I have 45 series tires all around, so I'll probably won't be able to go that low, I'll try my best!

P.S. I enjoy this thread.

I want to be like Chris too!

Well, I lowered my driver side, only to find out that I've only made it level as my passenger side.

No wonder I liked looking at it from certain angles, and hated it in other angles.

I painted the top of the wheel well, if my tire doesn't rub the paint off it as I hit the huge bumps on the freeway, I'll lower it more!

Then I think after this semester is over, I'll modify my suspension and do some proper roll center correction for the front.

Lol my old shocks were the driver side lower than the passenger idk. Then I put my megans on correct that. I wanna go lower but I'm on 15's.. so I can't..I Need 17's then I can go low smashing I want to

I want to be this low!



And here's an awesome video of a Ferrari F40.

AWESOME!

You should run 40 series tires

Haha yeah, I'm starting to wish I did.

Haha that gray coupe is a friend of mine, I'm actually running one of his old 5 lug hubs. I know you don't drift, but he runs 235/40's on x9.5 +12's and rubs the inner fender well really badly. You have to do some serious hammering if you want to be that low!

Wow that's some major fitment.

Yeah, really low requires some "massaging" of the fenderwell areas. I don't have to worry about it though since i have to park in a parking deck with crazy steep declines on exit. I like the car at it's current height though. Would like it a little lower, but i would hit concrete when leaving work :/

Yeah I had to "massage" my fender wells when my wheels still had the fat OEM spec tires on there.

Today I just went under the car and loosened and torqued a lot of the suspension bolts to spec.
Hopefully that'll kill the creaks and stuff at the front.

That was hard to do when I installed all of the suspension pieces. I had to set the car down on some Rhino ramps to load the suspension properly and then wiggle under there to torque them down. That was esp. important in the back since the upright still has rubber bushings. They'll split if you torque them unladen and then set the car down. There wasn't much room to work though.

Yeah, my face accidentally brushed my subframe and all the black crud on it when I was working under there.
Yum.

dood ive got 3 lifts at the shop. next time you find your head between a frame rail and concrete gimme a call.

lol came across this pic of my old car on my screensaver. made me want to come over and rob you for your paint. lol i might swoop you door inserts while im there too

I'd love to use one of your lifts!
Do you guys have a good welder?
I need someone to remove my cat converter and raise the downpipe area so I stop scraping things.

the tech that works with us has everything, if you know how to weld im sure he'd let you use it or if you didnt he can do it for you. lmk when youd be wanting to do it and i can ask him to bring his s***. as far as tools go all thats needed is a welder?

Something to chop up the exhaust pipe would be nice as well haha.
Thanks yo!
