thats the how to i made for it, as you can see in the pic of the 2 cluster comparason, i was in 5th gear at ~2k rpm doin 45, same for the stock, same gear, same RPM, and same speed

 

just dont let him try to sand ur door panels lol

 

^^^LMAO, yeah i f'd up one of mine when i first tried painting them, but i got the second one done right , you leard from your mistakes, like how your headlights came out better than mine, yet i did them both lol

 

yeah but my whole car came out better then urs lol j/k ur car looks pretty damn good concidering that you have 15" after maket rims

 

Quick question I what to put the tranny prothane mounts and my mechanic tells me that this upgrade would put more force into my tranny and mess it up faster. Little help here I just want to stop the wheel hop,

 

the only thing its gunna do is increase the vibrations in the cabin, shouldn't harm the trany, if anything it help by preventing wheel hop, and wheel hop=tranny pain

 

That’s what I thought he told me that the tranny get more beating to it because of them that the rubber stock one help the tranny flex, but I love to rip my car but I don’t want to mess it up.How bad is the vibration?

 

very noticeable at idle, like the whole cabin will vibrate, IMO its not to bad, i mean i can take it, and it doesnt vibrate like things shaking everywhere, its somethin you can feel throughout the whole car, like in the seats, they the shift knob, thr the pedal, everywhere, it vibrates, but IMo its not to bad, i can take it, and i drive my car daily, i recomend them, they are the ****

 

Thanks for the info. Quick you know any one that can get me a set before this SAT I’m getting my tranny put on and I would like to do it at the same time.

 

send aaron a PM, he's the guy from turbotech racing, he shiped mine out pretty quick, ordered them on the weekend, got them in 3business days later, you ca order them from http://www.turbotechracing.com he's pretty quick, and maybe you an see if they have the priority shipping, thats the 2-3 days, that way it will be there by friay, well good luck, ima go to bed now, i have 2 work early tommorow, i go in at 7am, and its almost 1, so good night to all

 

Thanks
