i just ordered hella stuff for my ride!!! so far i just purchased intrax 1.8"front 1.6"rear springs, kyb? struts, intrax camber kit f&r, wsp stainless y-pipe, cat (from wsp don't remember who they carry), b-pipe w/resonator (again through wsp), and a muffler (through wsp), new carpet, clear corners, front strut bar, black leather door panel inserts, brembo drilled slotted front rotors, a new clock (if i win it off e-bay). my friends dad is a mechanic so he said he'll help me replace my manifold studs and put the suspension and exhaust stuff on my car! ZERO $$$'s in paying for installation and i gain knowledge, what else could i ask for (everything to work?)! so if anybody's in the bellingham, washington area in about 2-3 weeks when everything gets here it should be a fun install day/days.

side note: cattman does have headers for our cars but it will take 3-4 months to get them in and they are a header/y-pipe for around $725 and i just didn't want to wait that long.

 

oh ya and a place racing CAI. it's all ordred, paid for in the mail shortly.

 

Wanna buy some 16x8 Roh reflex rims w/ 225-50 Sp8000s? I'm down in Seattle.

 

Dang, so what's up man are you blowing the trustfund or pushing. Thats some serious money you just put down all at once.

Extra money from a fishing trip???? What the hell kind of fishing are you doing. Fishing for crack???? Man I need to start fishing. What kind of pole should I buy?

 

i was in the middle of the f'n bearing sea for 3 months working 15 hour days 7 days a week. trust me, I WORKED HARD. now i PLAY HARD!!!!!

 

Sounds good. You put in the work so have fun reaping the benefits.

 

Your job sound like one of those dudes from the "perfect storm". Hey man it is a rough job and good stuff that you ordered all that stuff. I hope you enjoy all the mods.

 

Thats a dangerous jog. How were the seas? Anybody have any problems out there?

 

its a trip being in the middle of nowhere for 3 months seeing land for mabe a week total. this winter the seas weren't that bad. there were only a couple of times that we had really big swells. i remember one time looking out my port hole in my room seeing a crabbing boat beside our boat. one minute their whole boat was above me the next it completly vanished, i'm talking from 300yards away. one guy on the trip home lost his index finger, got it ripped off by and auger. ****ed me off cause we'd been out for 2.5 months and extended our trip a week (been awhile since i was last laid ). i've been cut by blades, reinjured my knee fooling around in the cargo hold, and had countless close calls. but over all it's very safe being on the boat i was on, at times really fun but mostly monotonus hard work.

 

I wanna work on a boat!!

 

that stuff sounds good but when you install the springs you might as well get strut boots and mounts.

Also on the Intrax they are 1.75 all the way around. Not sure where you got the 1.8/1.6. it is a very nice and even drop.

 

woah dude!! how much did it cost for all that stuff? and free installation, man.....that has to be the best hey do you mind me doing a favor and buy a wsp y-pipe and a flowmaster exhaust and eibach springs..hehehe...im unemployed and have no money

If you lose that ebay auction for that clock, hit me up, cuz I've got an extra clock that I'd be willing to get rid of for a decent price....

 

LMAO Never a dull moment here at the forum. I really enjoyed this post

 

not bad those are pretty decent mods, good hunk of change for the mods. i am getting my over-bored pistons, chrome-moly connecting rods, and wrist pins in today. i got my cams, valves, high rev. valve springs(inner&outer), underdrive pulley, flywheel, stage 2 clutch and my fuel pump, and sprint springs already. they are just sitting in my garage right now. just waiting for the shipment that is going to be coming today. then the block will be bored and honed, and the entire engine will balanced. then all i have to do is put it back together. i still have to send my ecu out and get it programed. i have to make a deal with Jim Wolf so i can get it programed faster. the wait is like 4 weeks but i need it back in half that time so .. i will figure that out. other than that i still have to buy two spa technique dual gauges, make my "y" pipe and custom exhaust and i will be all set... i hope everything works out good with your mods and i hope to all hell everything will work out for me.. too...

 

damn! thats a lot at once. But it is the best way to do it. Im pretty broke, but I'm getting all my parts now and holding onto them till I have everything I need them just trow it all on at once! Good luck with everything and have fun installing it all!

 

gee wondewr if there are gonna be a big difference i performance once the parts are installed


good god nice work , now go play nice. and get laid in the process.. hrmm.. how about a new paint job, or a body kit..? how about turbo? UDP? ECU? NOS?

 

ok, i have my struts and springs in my room, door inserts in the car as well as my clear corners installed. about to go crazy waiting for the exhaust and intake stuff. wsp finally mailed the exhaust setup out TODAY after i called them to see how it was going. anxiously awaiting the new manifold, CAI, carpet, rotors and my strut mounts and boots (took somebody's advice and ordered new ones).
