Rod are you ignoring me? Lol

 

[westcoaST]

Thanks All And West She used to get made about the table till she found out I used the dishwasher as a parts washer.. Now she doesn't even ask .. lol got a good one this time ..

Thats a great idea! Parts washer. I tried to convince my wife to let me use the bottom oven for baking my powdercoated calipers. Ended up having to buy an old one, then she didn't want it around when I was done. Had to sell it.

No rubbing on bumps or hard turns? I think im gonna order those wheels in bronze fo4 next spring....

Nope no rubbing on hard cornering but in the pic the Shox are set at max hard and I do feel that for everyday driving I dial back to 10 up from max soft (or 20 down from max hard) I try to avoid large bumps and the bottom of the car is closer to the ground now and with the 6 point mount i lost another bit under car clearence. SO pot hole are one thing but speed bumps are double worse if hit wrong or too fast. Most times the lil plastic skirt that hangs down in front brushes and that about all..

What is that plastic skirt for? To prevent stuff like water puddles and garbage going up the engine bay?

Why 15x8 rims I feel like they looks too small but the rolling shots it looks pretty good

Light weight for the track and a 205/50 fits very square on a 8 inch wide rim..

Fits square? Explain that to me if you don't mind. It's a good thing I'm guessing?

Meaning there isnt much tire stretch.

 

[rodmoe]

Meaning there isnt much tire stretch.

Yup Stunty is correct in that the sidewall meets the edge of the rim and is straight to the tire tread like stunny says little or no stretch or pinch and for the track this is considered best.. or at least that is what I have found from various sources.

Anything on your turbo upgrade yet

As a matter of fact we will have news soon and not exactly what I had planned but plans change
Turbo should be back home tomorrow (wasn't home to sign for the FedEX guy) and the rest of the kit should be here sometime next week.. Not to be a tease but the "Rest of the Kit" should ship from the UK tommorow .

That is so sweet I was going to order the puma speed one but will wait to see how yours will work out this is exciting

Very Nice! Looking forward to hearing how this comes together...

This showed up today

As Stated This Showed up from the UK today ill post a few pics here then start a EFR build thread at somepoint..

 

[rodmoe]

After opening up the Box I was treated to a lil Car porn this morning.
This is the PERON EFR Turbo Kit minus the EFR turbo which I already had.
I reached out to them after other options did not present themselves and a change was in order..
Love the attention to detail and the port matching as well as the drop dead gorgeous welds.
Nice touch the bracket on the downpipe which I had not noticed in their online pics for some reason..
Very excited though still wish it wasn't winter but I can get things started and long range plans are in place to reach the numbers I am hoping for as I am hearing the Fuel system gives up before this lil Turbo gives up. All in good time...
More later.
