"jizz stains from bumpin uglies with underage girls
misc poop
53 quarts of motor oil (not including changes)"
sounds like the same car to me?
beck i do like the new look a lot better. cant wait to see it in person, oh and btw a new “smaller more discrete” muffler would benefit you greatly; make the arse look a lot more…lets say…umm…not like it is going to shoot some sort of large melon at you.

was that the mess grill i left in the back of the hatch? i wanted to paint it back and toss it in but never got around to it. :tup: to saving your intercooler.
and i know you love those seats. let me just say
i told you so
any rubbing in the front? i rolled the rear fenders to they should be fine. i unrolled the fronts so i could get the fender wells back in.

Wouldn’t it be a really bad idea to paint an intercooler? (Thermal insulation…)

scroll down. black intercooler FTW

> I wonder if you can settle a disagreement between and a few mates? I’m saying that a front-mount intercooler would be more efficient if it was painted in radiator paint to improve the thermal conductivity. But my mate says it will insulate the FMIC. Please correct me if I’m wrong, because I’ve just mounted an intercooler in the bumper of my Toyota GT4 ST185 and don’t want to mess up the install by painting it matt black…

Beck: as long as you don’t get a gay bodykit and a huge spoiler, that thing will stay tight. :tup:

OMG Chris (soloIIpoop) stop being a whore. 😛
I noticed the seats. I didn’t notice much else. But what more can you really do?
And I like it WITHOUT the duckbill. IMO that’s just a fad that the H-T douchebags think looks good because they need to justify paying for something with very little purpose.

I’ve sooooo got you beat in the “come a long way” category…
And since you gave my g/f a ride in it when she was too cold to go on the bike, I think I deserve a ride as well, lol.
What clutch are you running in that? I’m trying to find a clutch that I can street but won’t slip…
