actually..the one i am looking at is very streetable. not too loud, like the MRT, and you just have to double clutch to go into gear slowly. if you grab a gear, it goes in just fine.

its not too bad.....

now that i have been thinking.....i am gonna pull the engine to do the shim under conversion. that way i will not have anymore valvetrain issues.


oh the ideas are flowing....

iheard that shim to bucket conversion was a good idea...and that some of the 03's as well as 04's have that design.

Your front bumper appears to be black in those pictures, but white in the others? Or is that just a bra?

yeah..that. is is a black bumper.....im am a ricer. havent had time to get it painted. do now....

i had to replace it after i got the car back from shelors when they put a head on her. SOME jinglefuck decided it would be fun to slam my front end into the bed of the rollback, crackin the other one that had only been on there for two months. this is the third bumper i have had in two years.

that, and i had to cut thehell out of it for my FMIC....still havent had time to finish it. but, its goin to my buddy this week, and be painted shortly.

i hope
