That's awesome If that were pavement though, I'm sure you would've blown at least the front struts and dented the oil pan or something.

tcam

where does your exhaust split into duals? after the cat?

tcam

that's cool that u got a dyno done, I've wanted to do that for a long time. I would've guessed maybe 180hp for ur set-up though. The Unichip gains don't seem that significant.

tcam

that car is sick, but automatic transmission???? manual is a necesity for me

tcam

I've had multiple run-ins with cops like this. Maybe not quite that extreme, but very close. And I think it's awesome what that driver did, the cop deserves every bit of punishment he gets.

tcam

uhhhh, what? I think I missed the funny part or something

tcam

that's awesome. for some reason though, those courses always look really confusing to me.

tcam

I bet most of the air bubbles will eventually just smooth out.

tcam

If it's your heat shield, then u just take a peak behind the engine where your exhaust manifold is, and tighten down any bolts that have become loose. If it's your lift pin, then it's a little more involved. You have to take off your valve cover, and check out what's goin on with the pin. There was ...

I knew the people, but I think $40 is pretty tipical. It's not that difficult if you have the right equipment.

tcam

header was done by boosted2.0 over at newcelica.org. He had it dynoed for some pretty siginifcant gains. and the motor moutns were too difficult for meand my tools, so I took 'em to a local shop and had it done for $40. I had terrible wheel hop too before I had 'em installed

Quote, originally posted by ajflan Â»The turbo lag is probably what killed him. That would have been great to see!lol, oh definately. turbo lag sucks. but yes it was for sure one of my most memorable car experiences ever. I was bragging to my friends the next day lol

tcam

I was also in lift the entire time downshifting into 3rd and going all they way through 4th

Quote, originally posted by ajflan Â»He was not trying, or you would have been smoked. No offense, but its a modded EVO.no, an EVOVIII is rediculously fast from a dig because of the AWD, but from a roll it's not that impressive. Especially if you get the turbo lag just right.

tcam

how does a Supercharged Base Vibe compare to a VibeGT? aren't they just about even? 1/4 mile wise

tcam

oh man, I wish I had seen this "how-to" earlier. I just had that fixed like a month ago. They charge like $25 in labor or something.

tcam

Welcome to the club! that color looks like maybe Moonstone or something. I don't know the colors very well eitherPS I grew up on Bainbridge Island and used to drive to Bremerton all the time. I love that whole Puget Sound area.

tcam

hey, welcome to Genvibe You need like a photobucket or another site that will host your image for you.

tcam

yeah, the vibration is paritucarly bad at idle, but the shifting is so perfectly smooth that it really outweighs the vibrations.

or you could just pop open the glass hatch instead of removing the whole brake assembly.

tcam

you're positive there are no leaks anywhere?

tcam

sweeeet must be a great feeling to have that. bet the anxiousness to have it installed is umbearable lol

tcam

haha, that's pretty tight. I also like the Volvo video with the swapped LS1 engine. They call it the "Volvette"

tcam

hotchkiss tuning also makes front and rear sway bars. I don't know how good they are though.
