Glad to Hear that!!! You checking up on those welds back there daily? I would be. Any clunking/vibrations from the rear?
Have you gotten an alignment for it yet?
I'm reallly glad to see this running right. Any new vids?

[pipes]

Yea been checking the rear often...funny thing is there is no noise from the rear but when I go over a bump I sometimes a get a bang almost like I'm bottoming out I don't know if it because of the coilovers or what...I'll get some vids up I wanna get some rolling shots and such... any suggestions on the clunk would be good

[stephen_lee]

look under there and look for the lowest point, find it and see if its scraped, if so mark it with a paint pen. next timde it makes that noise, check under the car && if the paint is scrapped off again, you are bottoming out there and i wouldnt really worry. if you are, weld up a "skid plate" for your new rear end.

Oh sorry I forgot to mention its from the front

[stephen_lee]

go slower over bumps

Research and don't be afraid there is no right way to do this also you need the spare tire well if you want a gastank

They can be storm troopers.

well guys its time for an update on the car.... i still drive it everyday.....it still works well one time the rear end flew into traffic . but really the car is holding up well expected things are breaking... all in all it is running 100 percent... now on to the things i currently need


factory gt4 16 spoke wheels
projector low beams for less than 500 because i can get them new for that price
a full water injection kit
cold air intake i was thinking about routing it to a high beam.. but a normal one would be better
im not sure what else i need (besides paint) any info or suggestions will be appreciated im not sure wich direction to go in now
