    I got to hand it to him cause he likes to make his own stuff. But when i seen he spent $400 on bottle caps to have them powder coated black, i had to think twice about the guy then.

      Uhhh, yea. I've seen the car in person and it looks like it was "hand built".

        heh, if he does try to make his own sway bar, maybe it'll break on him mid corner and we won't have to hear from him anymore ;)

        does he realize that they are made out of spring steel? I'm guessing not..

            I don't think you'd die necessarily from a broken sway bar, it's not like it's an essential suspension component! Plenty of cars used to come without them on the rear, or without them at all!

            Funny shit...

            What would be funnier than it breaking mid corner would be it working as planned and totally eliminating the independent suspension!!!

              He should just buy a shower rod and throw it in the back. That'd work, right? ;)

                if it broke and unsettled the car mid-turn? I think that'd be pretty dangerous..

                            Ok, here is a "quote"

                            It makes my eyes water to read something like this...


                            ok, i installed an oil filter relocation kit and an oil psi gauge + trany cooler,
                            my oil pressure gauge read 0 but my motor seemed fine i assumed it was a
                            faulty gauge, so i drove it to a performance shop to get a 2nd opinion on
                            it. the guy stated, maybe could be something in the line or a faulty gauge,
                            air blocking in the line, check to see if theres oil to the gauge. so i drove it
                            to work the next morning. after work drove home. i live close by. I start
                            diagnosing. i basically have no oil coming out of the line to my gauge, i
                            had a 90 degree elbow, my dad said maybe thats it, so i eliminiated that,
                            still same thing, crank over the engine with the coil wire removed. i
                            remove the fittings and line and blow through it, i can blow through it. So
                            now i get brave and crank the car with the fittings installed at the block
                            with the copper line, still nothing coming out? (the guy suggested maybe
                            its air blocking it etc). so now i open the valve cover to see if theres oil
                            coming to the top spitting around while cranking, nothing. now i say dam
                            this isnt good. i call summit tech support, they tell me there are 2 fittings,
                            one set is more centered, and one set is offsett, make sure they go to
                            each other ignore what the directions or the markings show, if its
                            backwards it will show 0psi or the oil filter could be collapsed. So i check.
                            dammit i did it wrong. so i fix it, install a new oil filter and i basically bleed
                            it. but as oil comes out the return its barely flows, very low psi stream. i
                            routed it, the out fromt he block to go into the top of the oil cooler out
                            the oil cooler into the oil filter out the oil filter into the block. so i try
                            again, nothing on my gauge still, nothing int he valve cover. now i say
                            dammit i must of broke my oil pump? so i drop the pan, and this is where i
                            am at now.

                              Only thing worse is some jack ass, that when you do a mod, chimes in and says "ohh I can do that in 10 mins - it's SOoooo easy..." - fuckin dumb ass...
