I'd avoid the resonators too, didn't have mine for that long and it sounded terrible, metal loose inside, rattling around, wasn't good!

 

I plasti dipped my rims today guys. I'll post pics I believe I will be putting them back on tomorrow.

 

Here is a pic of them done. I should have them on the car tomorrow.

 

Wow, never heard of this stuff before, pretty slick that you can actually remove it fairly easily to without damaging anything.

 

Yep indeed, it did sd gd tho, he had a 3in and header on it, pm matt its a gd deal for a gd exhaust, rims look nice mark can't wait to see them in person

Tvs? can't wait bud shud b a gd run me n u . Actually I can't see anything

 

I actually didn't even have to mask off the tire. I just put a end of the screwdriver to make a hole and peeled it right off. Here check it out.

Ok the wheels are on and they look great!

 

How durable is this stuff? I'm curious to see how well it holds up for you.

 

Fak - my car is in limp mode with a CEL. Hope it isn't anything big.

 

seems to be pretty durable. It can withstand power washing so I think it should be pretty much good for the most part. From what I read most people even after a year it still looks new.

 

What yr is your car? Might have the old intercooler which is know to fail, otherwise its prolly charge piping or bypass failed. Are you tunned? What cel's? May be a vac leak somewhere in the lines, is the maf clean?

 

Clutch will be here monday. I picked up a 23k mile motor out of an 08 for $476 with tax. Should be running by friday. Im going to break in the clutch then in the next month install rods and pistons.

 

Nice jim what kind of clutch did ya go with? and mark rims look good bud

 

KY Stage 3 Clutch. ~450 shipped

 

Thanks for the info Straz. I checked the charge piping (I put the Turbo XS piping in last fall) and found a broken T-clamp. I'm assuming that's the problem. Now I just have to get it fixed-those things are a pain in the ass. It's on the cold side pipe on the bottom.

 

Hey no prob hell yea it is hope ya got skinny arms do u have a upgraded intercooler? I hope it is as well

 

Nice jim that's the one I want

 

hahah Im doing a clutch job on my brother in laws, roomates, sisters 02 calavier. had to drive down to milwakee and trailer it home. road construction sucks down there with a loaded trailer and truck hahaha

 

Car is fixed. Skinny arms ftw! Hehe. Played hell trying to find a new T-clamp - no one in town had any in stock. Then I remembered the factory pipe had T-clamps on it *facepalm*. Anyway, seems to be running fine now. Just need to get the code cleared.

I don't have an upgraded IC. I figured that could wait until I get tuned. I was hoping that would be soon but I need to be careful w/ money now that my wife's hours got cut back to 2 days/week at work. Such is life I guess...

 

I hear ya all day, ya ic would be great, glad everything is squared up and hey if ya need a tune let me kno

 

Here is the exhaust guys and gals. Matt did an amazing job and I would recommend him to anyone. Everything sounds great and I got an avg of 33mpg's on the way home! I do need to make the exhaust a little more secure as it moves around on bumps a bit but other than that I am happy as a pig in ****!

 

Man what exhaust?? All I see is the TIP!

 

Any of you guys ever have to file a complaint with the Labor or Bureau of Apprenticeship standards? My employer fucked up my last paycheck and didn't pay me for my apprenticeship schooling. So i lost 16hrs of regular pay and then 16hrs of OT that wouldve resulted from those 16 hrs. Now they dont want to pay me for a whole pay period which A. i am the only income in my household and B. is bullshit because they fucked up its not my fault so why should i be punished for it when they throw $800 extra dollars on my check and obama gives me a rectal exam because of it. Total ******* crap.
