stoped by the auto store to get some window cleaner, seen a turbo emblem thought since people keep saying my cars supercharged i might put it on, painted it red hate chrome. now issue is where to put it. dont want to crowd grill up got the SS and grandsport badges on one side. was thinking dash or the other side of upper grill, or maby the lower right side of the lower grill. any opinions?

 

I'd probably have to go to yours. I haven't actually ordered the bracket yet, but I'd appreciate the help. It seems like a PITA to do.

 

Yeah that's fine I have every tool imaginable, I'm hoping to get my car lift installed before winter but my dad has a coronary every time I try to clean the garage.

It took me two tries to get it done, the first time I didn't anticipate it would take as long as it did and I ended up putting it back together except with one bolt in upside down because I was going to do it the next day. Then, the next day it rained and the day after that the upside down bolt fell out while I was on 275 and dented my CV boot lol.

Second try was alot easier, and I didn't have any problems getting the cables off the bracket like the first time.

 

Sounds awesome dude. OU buddies.
How are those rotated trans mounts? Did you get them from ZZP? I was either going to get those or LNF ones.

 

I got them from Powell, they're the best. OTTP copied John's design except used ultra crap bushings and they fail iirc. That's what I was told and have read though, dunno if it's still the case.

but YEAH they're great, a bit different than what are for the ss/sc but still very noticeable differences.

 

Probably. What did that run you, $200?

 

yeah something like that, mine were more expensive since they're special snowflakes though. make sure to get stage 2 for best results, worth the extra bit of money

 

I like that we can upgrade simple stuff for cheap and make the car loads better. I am also thinkin about doig the rear trans mount. Are all the parts from OPPT better? Cuz it seems like all his parts are just as or better then the parts that zzp makes

 

Powell>ZZP>OTTP imo. OTTP has the cheapest IC pumps though. both ZZP and OTTP copy off of Powell

Ok well I guess I'll start with bushings and that. Got to plasti dip my wheels, evo mod and rally strips this week. I'm either going to the meet Friday or sat. Who's going to the xceed reunion

 

yay new sig i made myself. still not the greatest thing

 

Redline forums and CSS had a falling out sometime back, thus you cant link the other forum on opposite sites.

 

They are haters

 

I know me and Blinkerfluid are going from here, not sure who else. ssyellow might
lol how so?

 

All this talk about shifter parts reminds me that I need to install the bushings... The lnf bracket was a must have for me. My car never really liked down shifting into 3rd, It would grind like 50% of the time. It hasn't happened once since I put that bracket on.

how many of you have your cars modded with a higher miles on them and are they still running pretty good?

I only have 65k on my car now but it slowly climbs every year.

 

im at 78K now with no problems

 

I'm sure I'm gonna rebuild the motor before it ever really see's high miles but I guess i'm just curious.

 

I'm at 77k with an intake and exhaust with stereo and dosnt grind any gear period

 

I blew a diff pin at 45k and replaced the trans so I can't comment lol

 

Not sure what the exact conflict was about, but one can assume that each site felt they had the superior car? Not sure to be honest.

 

I don't think it really matters. we're all car people who love our rides plain and simple. unless it's a civic, we don't like them.
