Taco's hopes and mostly dreams.

Got a my old strut bar to fit finally, took alot of work. Ebay=crap.
Drove the car around a bit, I guess I didnt realize the amount of attention the car garnishes even looking like poo poo being two colors and what not.
Car was sitting for about a month, couldnt really work on it or drive it having a broken collarbone but driving the car again. Time to get the rest of the bumpers fitted and paint prepped.

Its about freakin time

Got the boost dialed in to a consistent 15psi right now, pulls extremely hard through the rpm. I need to get a video of it in action.

I've seen some other guy with those flares on here.

Is it a requirement to anxiously await their arrival and then take your sweet ass time getting them finished?

[TheTacoMan]

A combination of working, taking summer classes and a broken collarbone tends to slow down progess :D
I want to get it done just really havent had the time.

Better than me lol. I haven't touched the car since early December when I got the Apex.

I need some way wider wheels for the rear too, it seems 18 psi seems to be the limit of grip of the 255s in 1st and second.

Id like a moment of silence to mourn the loss of my turbo, its dead. Shaft play, play in every direction, burning out crazy oil as all seals are dead. It lasted about 900ish miles. Friends don't let friends buy ebay turbos.

Time to go drop a grand on a real one :D:(:D:(

How's the GT35 holding up? I've been eyeing their GT35 or GT3071R...

Still working well with no play and everything is perfect. No leaks.

It seems like it was manufactured decently well to the eye but
It seems that it had alot of play for a long time and finally got bad enough to burn oil.

Sounds like maybe the rotating assembly wasn't balanced well.

Doesn't it have some kind of warranty?

There is no warranty, Ill get a video of the turbo once its off the car just to show how badly it died in such low miles.

Getting a m90 supercharger sometime next week, Ill be mounting it where the Alternator is and relocating it to where the powersteering was. I am also on the look out for a new turbo, something large. Im considering a holset as they are cheap and well large.
For now Im just going to run one intercooler, I don't think they will be much benefit from running an intercooler from the supercharger to the turbo inlet.
Rear bumepr should be going on soon as well.

This car might sound a bit weird after this roots type.
