thanks man! imma be ready for the east coast meet!!

It's your exhaust manifold gasket that's leaking, not the intake manifold, right Matt?

-Doc

actually its both. but i sent pm. i belive its gasket issue, beign that the ehaust side is made of cork.

a friend of mine on here demanded an update... so here ya go! lol for the new people on here/not in the know look@ this link. dr tweak summed it up a while back
flashback in a nutshell



day of accident (4.22.07)




AAAAAAAAAAAAAANYWHO,
i have installed my used tails, bumper and rebar (from (94yoter) after this fiasco>>>rear ended for 2nd time
and ive purchased some springs and shocks from rob (upscaleauto) for a steal! and hold on to your hats (lagos,pressure2,plyr158 tweak,pitcelica,death) I did it EASILY mostly solo!

im not going to babble so here are some update pics!



the tires cost me 45 bucks each (thru a friend on my team) they're ling ling or ling long tires. tires are a little meaty for my taste, was going for a look like pressure2's but oh well



new plates


oh and i got a accidental surprise in the mail, so i decided to try it on here's a shameless plug for Vincent_doggy's latest creation (i may just have to buy it since its here anyway lol )



I have NO IDEA how much power im at now ( i just know im faster than a modded 350 z a infiniti g35 coupe)

SO, next up: tuning my PIG RICH MOTOR, (still at 10.0 on the UEGO) then prep for paint/external mods bodykit! more updates to come!!!

Luvin' the tag

Say no to a bodykit man, keep her clean. Congratulations and good luck.

thanx doc! i just realized i threw in two shameless plugs not one! lol!

i was thinking the same thing, but i already have the skirts and bought the rear splitters. i dont like how the car sits as it is now. still too high im thinkin 215 may have been better well for this brand o tire anyway

What's the size on those tires? 215 corresponds to width, not height...just saying.

man you still have the same number? hope you've been well.

Good to see shes comin along.... too bad you got stuck with the crappy flat plate, but at least ya got blue instead of that red crap.... She's lookin good, keep up the great work Pm me with your # dude, I got a new one but I should be comin out to NC in December or January probably and I'd love to see her again.

they are 225 45, yeah i wasnt thinkin str8 when i said that lol i always confuse them


>

yeah man! hit me up! i got another phone and alot of my old conacts went missin


>

thanks man! yeah, not a big fan o the flat plate, but south caroina is doing it so i guess the north had to copy lol pm sent!

id have to agree and say stay away from a body kit

its interesting you guys say that, i know body kits are getting out of style, but my car still dosent look low enough. i got a friend that suggested i cut the springs a tad bit more, but i know thats a BAD IDEA. this upgrade basically got rid of the horrible wheel gap, but did nothign for the overall height imo

Nice progress on ninja turtle 2.

I can see what you mean when you say the car doesnt look low enough, I can tell you did lower it, but these cars seem to demand to be SLAMMED before you see its visually lower, lol.

I'd suggest splitters or a lip kit for a lowering effect, NOT a body kit. Slapping on a C-ONE/Invader kit doesn't seem like the answer to me.

this is VERY true! its not like the audi's or VW's or even the honda's for some reason the celicas still are pretty high unless slammed (and with a 3inch exhaust i DONT want to go too low )

sorry thats what i meant! i already have sideskirts (boomers) and some rear splitters waiting to go on, i also have a front lip, just have to fiberglass it together (split in half from hittin a racoon) i dont like front nose body kits, something chips or breaks, you have to go thru the trouble of removing almost the whole bumper sometimes
