FRANCHISE!!!!!!!!!

awesome.

do you used the shouldered bolts on the hood, D?
if it dont fit right, and your using the right bolts, somthing is tweaked, weather its the hinges, or the rad support.

[stephen_lee]

No shouldered bolts.. Thought they were there for a rEason.

looks great man, glad you got it fixed. mine flew up on me twice. First time it just bent the hood real bad, second time it completely totaled the hood, cracked my windshield, and blasted the top of the roof so hard it dented it and shatered the sunroof. LOL that wasnt cool at all. now i have another one i put on thats mint so i need to get the right hood latch for it asap. luckily i got the second hood for a low price of $125.

This pic is amazing, like a body cut open, with all the blood vessels and heart and ventricles and stuff

Jesus dude! Makes me glad I stuck with the hood pins - almost didn't. I never had that problem with stock USDM hood latch [knock on wood]

Thanks man! Looking at it again it almost looks like one of those shots where everything but the subject is intentionally blurred. You camera geeks [read camera experts ] have a name for it but it escapes me. However, I don't have the skills to do that - probably the entire shot is just blurry

Unfortunately if I had found him I wouldn't stupid enough to tell you guys what I did to him
Thanks tho

[Bigblock]

Completely understandable!!

[D-Man]

agreed!

ANYWAY... How long till heat melt's this one too? Or did you get a better paint on it then the last?

(and as for that old hood, I need a new FG project)

[DEATH]

Turbo is sooo fcuking awesome!!!!
Ever wake up at 1am just to get some of that cold weather boost?

[DEATH]

Fcuking starter AGAIN

Anybody know if, by chance and luck, a auto starter is the same as manual starter?

nope, we get that weather 24hrs a day from nov - april!

starters are the same IIRC.

[DEATH]

Damn you rock P and that's the best news I got all week!!!
I thought they might cause I checked various parts sites and they gave me no option for auto. That means I have one laying around hopefully!!!

I made a thread for this but you might leave it so anyone else who needs that info can get it. They would be more likely to read that thread when their starter goes out than to read this one. Just my .02
Thanks again bro - this is why this place is so awesome and why I always try to give back any knowledge I have

Now just a 1/4 mile hike to and from and get dirty communing [MSP] with my car - can't ask for a better boring Saturday task. Beats working around the house

Damn!!!! It's waaaay too cold for my blood ATM - 52*f [I know - but I've lived in Texas now for 20 years so my NY immunity to weather has long since worn out. I'll wait till noon. Starter is a joke anyway even with all the Turbo/IC parts in the way

[Stambo]

Try Wisconsin out death. Cold boosting 9 months outa the year

[DEATH]

Not here LOL - I waited till noon to work on the car today and it was a nice 68*F
Anyway - some brainchild decided to completely dismantle the extra starter I had in my garage and if you've never tried to take one apart and put it together the motor requires some type of special tool to reassemble. But it worked out well cause I got a brand new starter since I always buy lifetime warranty parts [this would be why I pay that extra $10-25. Thankfully because I have like a whole $5 to my name ATM.
BTW - The reduction gear in my starter had completely stripped all it's teeth - that's a first for me. It would extend and the motor would spin but no rotation on the output gear.
I'll post pics later

[bsamps4]

You've done a great job man! Your build inspired me to pull the trigger on mine. Best of luck!

[KAOS]

lol yea, the '4 hood is definetly lighter than the C/F hoods i've felt...i can lift the '4 hood with my pinkey!
cant wait to see her all done up!

The first time I lifted mine, I almost threw it. I was compensating for the original 204 hood (heavy as F!@#)... lol.

D - that sucks about the idiot vandal... wtf is the matter with pplz?

Haterz.

Can't wait to see the new hood in place... although, the nekkid look is growing on me...
