^^ Dude...I think that was a 'Specialized Rock-Hopper' mtn bike. Those things were baller back in the day. That bike being a rigid frame helped with its peak TQ results.

Yup, Just cut it where the diameter of the antenna changes. Here is the best pic of mine that I could find quickly. I just cut it and colored in the tip with sharpie.



edit: the pic isnt displaying for me, hopefully it is for you.

Just about. The bodyshop wants to see if the insurance will pay to respray the whole car because the only thing that's still original paint will be the roof and wing and then the insurance company also pays to replace all the clear bra that was installed on the car too.

Jason, would you really describe yourself as an adult?

Oh wait, you mean this isn't an Evo that you totaled???

Warning! The following post contains technical information pertinent to the intent of the parent forums interests. Please DO NOT read if you are looking for asshattery and/or sexual humor.

So I helped a local install some cams last night, i am happy to say everything went well as expected. I wasn't surprised to find out cam install was as easy as i thought it would be. I did bleed the lifters which takes a total of 15 minutes extra for all 16 lifters. It does make the motor sound crazy on start up though, like it wants to explode. That was the only nervous part of the install. Otherwise i am pretty comfortable doing it again.
