Well if I can put my own fuel Pump in then I think anyone can.......I did it with quarter tank of gas and still had spillage......Good luck


The clutch is officially done I test drove it again today to make sure and it runs great.....and the new exhaust sounds wonderful....better than the TurboXS IMO. Very loud just the way I like it.......


Short little funny story about something that happened today during my drive.

I was driving down 19 when I saw this BMW z4 with to chicks in it and I pulled behind it. When the light turned green I pulled off and gas it asoon as the lane cleared to the right. As I was trying to see in the car I forgot I had the VTA on(which I am changing) and as I shifted it released and scared the sh*t out of the passenger. I couldnt help but laugh at her when she flenched like I was trying to beat her with a bat. She flenched as the BOV released I didnt realize how loud it was till today.........As I slow down to let her pass she cussed me out as if I meant to do it........I was still laughing because her face was priceless.......So who said you couldnt have fun with a ricer Part HAHAHA

Although, on the other message boards im on, i did use a similar shot only the running lights were on, not the headlights.

Thanks Trav.
yup i got the lights on. i also took like 15 pics but they mostly sucked. it just started raining so i quickly pulled the car in the garage to take pics. the garage light was on, there was all kinds of stuff in my garage, and i didnt have a remote to change the garage height lol. so i just did the best i could that minute and used my fav.

but your looks reall good, i especially like the black darkness around the evo

What would I say? First gear behaved better this morning. I guess it needed someone to show it who's boss.

and starting in neutral with the clutch engaged is nice. One of the best mods ever.

Yeah first gear was a little tricky at first but it got figured out no big deal, it happens - twin disk is fun thats for sure. Makes me want to kill my stocker so I can get one, but with the funds at an all time low I must resist

Glad you like the new mod - quick and easy

yeah i just cropped a little bit because my driveway was at the bottom, but the garage door is still there at the top. i wanted to get that mysterious look. but the picture isnt all that good anyway, if you'd see the blown up version you can see the rain falling and now that you look at the av there is a glare that i didnt notice until now. Im gonna do it again sometime, phone wallpaper FTW!!

-To get to the show, take Interstate 376 to the Squirrel Hill exit (near the Squirrel Hill Tunnels). Ensure that once you have exited, you move to the far left lane to follow traffic to Squirrel Hill.
-You will make a quick left onto Forward Ave. after exiting the highway.
-Drive to the first light and make a left onto Murray Ave. There is a BP station at this intersection. Follow Murray avenue through 6 or 8 lights until you reach Forbes Ave.
-Turn left onto Forbes Ave. There will be a Rite-Aid and a Cold Stone Creamery at this intersection. Follow Forbes Ave. for roughly one mile.
-Make a left at the second red light after turning onto Forbes Ave. at Margaret Morrison Street. This road will put you onto Carnegie Mellon's campus. Once on Margaret Morrison Street, you will see the CFA Lot after rounding a bend a few hundred yards down the road.
-The lot is near the Tepper School of Business building, Skibo Gymnasium, Margaret Morrison Carnegie Hall, and the Carnegie Mellon Tennis Courts
--

Direction to this CMU car show thing. It's centrlly located on CMU campus so you can go through Oakland too.
