That BP looks so sweet in there!!!! Your engine bay is really clean, too... Not gunna show you mine :)

What do you have to lower it? Looks nice and low :D

funkdaddysmack May-16th-2003 05:47 PM

BTW, I forgot to ask... How does that puppy run? I bet it moves good with those little 13s!!!!!! :D :D :wee:

limpgtx May-16th-2003 05:54 PM

not BP, BPT. yah i have mad wheel hop on the 13's =( first time i had wheel hop i quit going fast i dont wanna bust the tranny :eek: i just got some intrax springs on the bucket right now, im gonna get some coil overs soon so the intrax springs (bought last summer) will be up for sale soon. its pretty damn quick as it is now, even with that burnt cluth and stock exhaust. its a fun car though and i love it :inthebum: dont know if i should go 16's or 17's though with it lowered?!?!?!

limpgtx May-16th-2003 05:57 PM

i need some protege buddies in northern oregon i bored :crook:

funkdaddysmack May-16th-2003 06:55 PM

Move to PA, I need another roomate anyways! hehehe...

Holy crap, I can't imagine how fast that thing would be... what's it like if you do like a 40 mph roll start in third and mash it???? me = jealous :(

[edit]
I was looking for 16s, but I couldn't find any that I really liked that were still lightweight... So I got the 17s... They look big, but still good :D

limpgtx May-16th-2003 07:01 PM

yah im having trouble finding good lookin 16's. all the ones i like are 17's :doh: basically i have "some" go full throttle in 1st, rest of the gears fly way up and the car barley moves. if i punch it going 40 even in fourth gear the rpms fly then i lay of the car jerks from the clutch catching again. tomorrow problems fixed :blue:

limpgtx May-16th-2003 07:02 PM

i think im gonna go 16's cause i bet ill rub with 17's lowered. anyone know of some good lookin 16's that fit?

islandpro May-16th-2003 09:02 PM

hey pics are not working for me. but anyway i might be moving to oregon in a year. depends on where i can find a job. i love the northwest lived there 2 years on whidbey lsland.

2fast4u May-17th-2003 02:20 AM

hey, same complaint, i can't see the pictures and i really want to see them. but i do have some good news. you said that you wanted some proteges buddys in oregon. well, i live in albany right now, and i go to salem and woodburn and sometimes when i need something for my car i go up to corksport. hey, when did you race your car, and did you race it at woodburn. hey, since grudge wars are on friday nights, wanna meet next friday night at woodburn and race? it would be cool to meet some other people with proteges. talk to you later hopefully.

limpgtx May-17th-2003 10:40 AM

You need to make that yahoo folder 'public' for the link to work :)

How big is your drop? I don't rub with my 17"s.

limpgtx May-17th-2003 10:54 AM

2fast4u: i dont race yet, i have two busted struts in the front so i dont want wheel hop and bust my tranny when im trying to race. i dont have an intercooler on yet either and i dont wanna burn piston rings or overheat the turbo. i also have 13" tires lol that are made by "caliente" :evilgrin: suck sucks sucks i so wanna race but i gotta dump another $2k in before i race :rolleyes: i have the intercooler, im gonna go run the piping today like i said earlier and see what fits best.

2fast4u May-17th-2003 04:18 PM

alright that's cool. can you fix the picture thing so i can see your car? that's sucks that you need to do all that stuff before you race. i too need to replace my struts that are blown, but i'll still race. are you going to go to the track on friday? i know you won't race, but still, it would be cool to see each other's cars. later
