Mod Day Today!

Ryan installed a set of BMR lower control arms and it really helped my car from getting sideways in 2nd gear. It seems to hook up much better.

He then checked out my Pro 5.0 because it seemed to have some binding issues. It looks like I got some locktite on the brass bushing when I installed it and was causing the bushings to bind. He installed some white grease on the bushings and now the shifter works like "butter"!

Bummer is that he found a rearend leak while installing the LCA's.
It looked like it was coming from the pinion seal. I guess I'll take it back to the installer because my dealer would probably laugh at me if I asked them to fix it under warranty. They know that I had 4:10's put in last year.

Chad was there there too and he installed the CDC hood struts on his car. He also put on the JLTII cold air kit thay he just bought and then when he went to load the tune we discovered that either the tune of the tuner is bad. It wouldn't allow him to upload the tune and gave an error message that we looked up on SCT's website.

After everything was done we went for a ride in Ryan's
Saleen supercharged JDM stroker. His car is "fast"!!!!! It's one sweet ride and looks almost totally stock on the outside except for some Raceline wheels, big tires and 4" exhaust tips. Just for fun I did alittle rolling start drag race with him and after we both stopped spinning our tires in first and second he was "gone"! I felt like I was driving a Pinto! Here's afew pics of his motor. I can't tell you everything that he has done but it's sweet!

Hey Rich- maybe you can upgrade your rearend cover to something other than stock while you get the leak fixed.

I also slapped on a BMR strut tower brace. Hopefully we'll have some in car video from Ryan's ride to share before too long.
