It's okay Marky Mark. Next year is a new year!

 

And the year after that, and the one after that, and the one after that... Unless of course you'd rather me do things at your pace?

 

Too late for that. That would have started two years ago.

But hey, better late than never!

 

 

Thanks arm! lmao, this guy doesnt know **** about my car. and if he scrolled back a few pages he would see my car follows no other

on a built motor and e85 he made 30-40 more hp than my STOCK motor on 93 did, but hes the visionary and leader...

 

Kids kids...

 

hey metallic, when are you gonna join the dark side?

 

Lol

I wasn't so much knocking on him as I was raising the point that each individual's car is THEIRS! If someone wants a turbo timer for the piece of mind of cooling things down, then more power to them! Having one does not make you a "ricer" any more than painting engine parts a color of your choice, painting the wheels, hid's, etc... Anything that YOU want to do to your car.

 

I am right there with you, that is why I was explaining to the guy that was asking what his options are for using one or not using one and what common issues he would have ie the unlock issue

anyone coming in and going "that is ricer ****" doesnt help the conversation and doesnt keep ppl around getting information and growing

 

Now now arm..... I don't think YOU out of all people can tell people what's ricer & what's not...

 

To me ricer has always been frrrrrrrrrp frrrrrrrrrp frrrrrrrrrrp "yea man I cut the cat and slapped a muffler, now I'm fast."

 

At least I know what all my wires go to..

 

Hey arm can we stay on topic please?

P.s. It's a long walk home from here

 

ions built motor started ticking after 15k miles. got fed up with it and just parked it for now. will be tearing it down this winter so i know what i need for tax time. i think i will just do a total overhaul and slap my turbo on it for next year. will be the cobalts first winter too

 

Mark, message meh back!

 

I feel 4.45 or a f40 in my future... Not sure how I'll afford it but my f35 won't be a happy camper come spring..

 

I'm getting the F40.

 

SO MUCH money. ..

 

It is, but considering what you are getting for it, its not too bad. It comes with everything you need. My friend swapped an STi trans into his 02 wrx, which use the same mounts and shifter cables and all, and he was in over 5K. He bought the trans for $3600 or something like that, low mileage used. Didn't want to swap all his hubs and brakes and wheels so he had to buy 2 rear axles from DSS for $1k, then a clutch and pressure plate for $600.

 

And delta owners cry about the cost of performance....

 

Sorry been busy. I'll get to it haha.
