Exactly. No performance, no heat reduction, no sound improvement = no purchase from me.

If there was a snowballs chance in hell for me to get Long Tubes and somehow pass smog however it is done() I'll be doing it. Same with cams.

It looked by his last post that the front sway bar wasn't going to happen ?? who knows.


Oh yeah...

Congrats Bill & Tom. Can't wait to see the mag article, but to be honest I don't think I've ever even seen that mag anywhere.

Of course clutch evaluations will be posted, right ??

 

Well he did post this..

This guy back east put long tubes on his pj, made a big difference, I bet it sounds great

 

Sounds like a plan!



I don't want to go through another install either, which is why I bought them now.



Hey, you gain 5hp!

Not sure about heat reduction.

Leo said his exhaust tone sounds 'cleaner' since the install. I would suspect the exhaust would sound different traveling through SS tubing versus a cast iron manifold.

 

Thanks Brian. Hopefully will be in today's mail. If so, I'll run a scan and post it up.

MG is a new publication, they're currectly on issue 3. They're based out of the East coast, so it's probably more visible out that way.

 

Rear swaybar is in. Sorry no pics. I'll try and get some later after I clean it up a bit. Ended up with an added bonus of billet endlinks. Those things are so beefy they look like a dam LCA. I wish the dude had the front swaybar. Not complaining though as the new swaybar with billet endlinks only cost me my stock rear sway and stock phb and ph support. Not bad considering the rear sway alone is $200 plus $100 if you want billet endlinks.

Endlinks I thought I was getting.


Endlinks I've got. Except mine don't have grease fittings.

 

George are those the American Racing or Kooks ?? They look great. I've heard a couple cars with LTs and the FRPP cams talk about drool I know they're not a FI grind but the lope on them is just insane. If someone made a lopey FI cam it'd be awfully hard no to consider it. CARB restrictions aside.....


East-si-eed makes sense. Can't wait to see it. Although it's a completely different beast now....

What's the 411 on the machine shop ? it went from soon to WTF



Sa-weet Leo. Bet that really helps the car and reduces the pushing a bunch.

 

Leo, hows the BMR PHB and Brace holding up? No creeks or 'hollow' sounds?

Saleen sway looks cool!

 

Greg said it's about a week out from getting the heads and shortblock back from the machine shop. Then another 1-2 days of putting her back together.

I just hope all stays on schedule.

 

Everything's holding up fine. It's the noise from the Tokico's is getting annoying. Nothing to do with the strut caps. I think it's just from the shocks and struts being metal instead of plastic like the factory. Good thing is I can't hear any of it If I'm listening to the radio.

BTW-It's the Eibach swaybar not Saleen. Your the one that's got the Saleen one.

 

congrats bill!

 

Nice sway bar.

 

Me? My sways are stock.


Thanks David!
Dang, no magazine in today's mail.

 

NFL Networks Rich Eisen picking up on a NFL Network correspondent. Notice guy in grey shirt on left of pic. He's the dude that does the voices for the Simpsons Characters.


Yup that's how close I was to the field.


Fly by after National Anthem.



Charger Cheerleaders




Favre and the Jets on offense


Jets bench and real Charges fan on bottom left. Yes those tats were real. He had one on the other side of his head too.

Hoping for a Favre style comeback.


The Wife and I after the game.

 

Great pix Leo, awesome to see you and the boss both wearing your 4 jerseys. Wish my old lady even knew what football was, let alone have/wear/be seen in public with a jersey on.

 

NVM....

 

Yeah I got lucky their. Although it wasn't untill last year that she actually started watching the games with me and learned all the rules etc.

Eibach rear sway bar pics. Debating wehter or not to take it off and have it powdercoated to match the BMR stuff.

 

Great pics Leo! I was rooting for the jets too. Its been a tough football season for me watching my train wreck/soap opera that calls it self a team. I know we are going to get killed this weekend but in the words of ron burgundy....

sway bar looks good, cool end links! feel any difference

 

hahahaha, thanks for the laugh George. I had almost forgotten about that movie..... I love it. Whenever I'm down, that movie always cheers me up.

60% of the time, it works....everytime, LOL!

 

Yeah the Raiders are pretty F'ed up this year.

The only thing close to testing I've done is mash the go pedal going into a corner and the rear did feel more planted. I didn't kick out like before. Probably not as good as a Watts link but for the price it'll do.

Blew past the 6k post mark and didn't even realize it.
