LOC-TITE can be your best friend!

Tokicos are finally installed on my daily driver. They gave the car a nice, mild drop. But most importantly, no more horrible 4x4 wheel gap.

I know we've talked about this before, but that front bumper seriously needs to be addressed.

We sure have! It'll be gone soon, don't worry. As soon as the car is ready for paint, that body kit crap will be gone. But now that the car is lowered, it sure is fun scraping it everywhere.

Yeah. Last time I had that bolt out was 3 years ago before I knew better. It's getting loc-tite'd back in.

EklipzGSXkid · 10-05-2010, 11:37 AM

You are very lucky that bolt did not get jammed in between your timing belt and sprockets. You could have caused major , expensive damage. It's an easy fix, However. If you need any parts, or help, Just let me know. I have tons of those plugs and b/s elimination kits. I know your a bit far away and probably have someone helping out already, But the offer stands if you ever need help and are in a bind. My garage is always here with tons of tools and tons of dsm parts if you are in a pinch.

knochgoon24 · 10-05-2010, 03:22 PM

I had to have it towed from the autox course to my buddy's garage. The parts were cheap and are in the mail already. I should have it all back together this weekend. If I'm ever heading though that area, I'll have to stop by.

The tow to his house cost more than the parts.

HaveBlue83 · 10-05-2010, 06:43 PM

that bumper.......

i woulda GAVE u my 2ga front from my talon. haha. i pitched that thing.

bl@ckvr4 · 10-05-2010, 11:09 PM

Hahaha. Can't run a 2Ga bumper with 2Gb lights bro. It'll look odd. Maybe not as odd as that stupid body kit.

They will fit fine, and have a small 1" gap between the bumper and headlight towards the center since the headlight isn't long enough.
Better then whats on there & you can people it's dual intake ducts

If someone is donating him a front bumper for free, I can donate free 2gA headlight housings if you come pick them up..

knochgoon24 · 10-07-2010, 12:09 PM

My car should be back on the road tomorrow evening or Saturday afternoon.

My next issue is trying to track down the reason why I keep going lean. It may actually be an ignition issue. It's always something...

HaveBlue83 · 10-07-2010, 12:20 PM

check ur fuel rail pressure and FP duty cycles too.

agencyone0one · 10-07-2010, 02:22 PM

I just installed 3 prothane mounts this Sunday. Damn its a night and day difference with my engine. My old mounts were torn so bad the motor used to jump up and down when i was taking off from traffic lights and it only got worse the warmer the temps got lol. Take offs are so smooth now, and the extra vibration is minimal. I can't wait till I have time to drop the Tranny and stuff the rear mount in.
