oh, I def. know that lower the better is not true in terms of ride comfort, and our shitty pot holes, but I mean lower the better on the look of the car


Canada Revenue, taxation center, clerical/out going mail position, I know someone who is currently working there since last year, and she clears over $900 per pay check, after taxes/deductions, around $940 range... sweet money to be made there

Yeah I wish I just modded the rear coils to drop my ride. EIbachs are great most of the time. not a harsh ride. it is firm and great in the corners. Our streets suck so you have to learn where you will bottom. overall I am still happy with the springs.

Oh happy new year everyone. Good on you Dayn for having the first post! I was at work...LOL

too bad I find a shift light to invaluable. I pulled mine out to keep.

Just an update. my summer tires are toast. I have two other stock tires with 9/32's and I am looking for two more. just to have on to get rid of it with good tires. the pirelli's are pretty good tire. I may refresh the rims to get rid of chips and road rash on one of them. getting to dump it in spring or just drive it. let me know if your friends want a good car that is different if they like the wingsless lowerd look.

highest modded gt...hmm..already met a kid with a header/dp but no intake yet in his black gt, then a 4 dr pursuit wit full body kit, dual exhaust and header/dp, intake...so i think YOUR LOSING IN THAT FIELD...if u wana b the fastest...then your also behind from what ive seen kids drive and have wit their gt's....so if i were you, id sell it and get sumthin atleast thats worth modding b/c no offence a pursuit gt aint worth modding to much if u wana be the fastest unless u turbo it or supercharger it...so either A) add a turbo/supercharger B) don't mod it @ all and waste your time or embarassment or C) sell it and get yourself a real car...and i aint sayin i have a real car so don't get it twisted...


oh and Projekt, it doesnt include cobalt ss 2.4l's since you can actually drive and know how to rape a pursuit gt...

wow? welcome back. breakin out the can of whoopass! LOL

Although I think Hispano's approach is gut wrenching harsh it is pretty accurate. I agree with Hispano on all points except the last one on the suspension. I think your misunderstanding his intention Hispano1. he wants to level it out. the SS comes with the ass way up compared to the front. He doesnt want lowering springs to bring it down to our level and since Eibach pro kit basically levels out the car (drops the rear end) then why not just go to Nuels springs (on wall) and get the rear dropped a little. other than we dont know what it will do to ride and handling of course. it has never been done. for looks then why not. for handling just may not be the best thing to do.

Hey what did you mean keep drivin ..... what you said highlighted above......

later

I still don't know what my plans are. Everything is up in the air at this point.
But, I do have to say I agree with the fact that if you want to be the fastest, driving a Pursuit GT isn't where you are going to do that. I don't even think driving any Delta is where you'll do that.

wow that is the stupidst, least thought out paragraph ive ever read.
The 2nd last sentence is my favorite on the bord of stupid things youve said u just contradicted yourself.
How that can that not be taken as an insult to Andrew and JP is beyond me.

i am not the greatst at driving my car hard because i dont do that very often at all. i bought mine and intend to make it last.
oh and for the record i never said i wanted to be the fastest.

i guess it was kinda ignorant saying it shouldnt be too tough but i regret saying that.

Well, four days in to 2008, and we are already back to normal. Let me get this out of the way:

I disagree with all of you, on everything. All of you suck. All of your cars are slow. None of you can dance as well as my kitten.

Anyone wanna go for wings sometime soon again?
