lol.... yup yup... thats obviously gready....
we just want to hear the monster of the 3.5.....

front AGX's are finally on. I set all the AGX's at 4 (the rear were previously at 2 to match the OEM front struts). Ride is obviously a little more rough, but I can deal with it. I have yet to take it to some twisties to really feel the difference though.

Also, on the exhaust videos: I will try to get some soon. Seeing as how my only means of recording is my point and shoot, I need someone to help me out, as I don't have enough memory to just leave it sitting there and do driveby's and stuff

is it??? I guess I should've figured cuz I remember the fireball being stupid loud back in the day.

okay that's enough off topic exhaust discussions in my thread! :P

**beam514** · 08-09-2009, 04:13 PM

oh forgot to add that the AGX's did raise me up about 1 finger length as compared to the stock struts: there was a 2 finger gap between tire and fender previously, now it is 3. I'm hoping it drops down a little more after settling because it was at 3 fingers on the stuck struts after being on jack stands for 3 weeks

Okay so my registration renewal is due in September, so I have to get the car SMOG'ed soon. Called some local places, and I won't pass with my damn K&N filter on there, and I'm not dropping $200 to go to some shady place to "forget" to look under the hood, so here is the ghetto solution:

thank god for flexible stock intake piping

blue8g · 08-10-2009, 02:22 PM

dude you gotta clean your bay!

**beam514** · 08-10-2009, 02:24 PM

shhhhh its not THAT dirty.. haha I have to clean up the battery tray and still make some battery tie downs. Also the radiator brackets are like permanently that color.. without that damn air filter housing though the bay looks reasonably clean

blue8g · 08-10-2009, 02:24 PM

if you fly me out to CA i'll clean it for you!

**stvn_mj** · 08-10-2009, 02:48 PM

Looks good. How's that braille battery working for you?
