Yo jag79! We'z be twins. Vance, I admittedly like yer darker color silver...can't have everything though. One of my patients liked my STR so much he went out and got an 03 in a wierd silverish-green (or whatever) shade. Looks real nice. I'll see him this week and ask what the name of the color is. Riski (g-d rest his soul) had the most interesting color STR I've seen. If yas remember or take a look of his pics, it was a dark green-blackish shade?

 

Yo dudes! please help me decide on clamps for the air intake elbow. I told mafioso to hook me up with the screw type but i'm seeing yas go for the t-clamp type. What's up?

 

Mafioso,, please switch my intake elbow to sport t-clamps.

 

Seth, On the intake the worm clamps will probably be ok but better safe than sorry. T-bolts are far more secure/stronger, spread the pressure over a larger surface area, and don't cut into hoses as easily. The only downside is their uglier. I don't usually drive with my hood open so it isn't a concern for me.

 

I'll take the T-bolts .
Thanks..

 

HI bud, I'm finally on parole it looks like since being banned for something really stupid without even a warning from the MOD , It's ok if you don't have pic but what did you go with to lower your ride? Eibach? or H&R springs? Could you atleast take a pic to show how it looks lowered with your setup, b/c I most likely will be getting an STR very soon and I'll be giving my S type to my younger brother who just go his license recently as his first car.

God Bless!

Mafioso, yer vid didn't run due to a malformed URL ID?

 

Video fixed

 

Yer start at 20 mph, nailing it till 60 mph...came in pretty darn quick fella...ya may have a flat or sub 5 second 0-60 car. Chuck on a pulley and full exhaust mod, etc. then ya in the solid 4's and 12's (1/4). Keep up the good work.

 

From a stand still it just wasn't happening.
I'm able to just roast my P/S2's 295/30/18's it just too expensive to burn up
Luckly I scored an awesome deal off eBay $140 for the pair shipped 90% tread left

 

That was some maniacal acceleration. Must be those big tires fooling the tach!! :-D j/k

 

Yea I cant get my tires to spin at all like that. Are you hiding something. LOL. Is there really only your intake and the K&N under the hood. I'll just blame it on my tires being sticky.

 

Im not hiding anything.

I didn't want any mods to skew the data for the elbows, so I have a pile of parts Im getting ready to start throwing at the car:

Pulley
T-stat
**TOP SECRET** (G-17 Classified)
**TOP SECRET** (G-17 Classified)
**TOP SECRET** (G-17 Classified)
**TOP SECRET** (G-17 Classified)
**TOP SECRET** (G-17 Classified)
full exhaust

 

I need to do some prevenative maintanence. Once the taxes come back I'm gonna refresh some stuff. Maybe a trans kit in my future and some new plugs.

 

Mafioso, sent in my balance for 'BEST' intake.

 

Ya obviously have a very well running STR. Freshen your plugs guys if there's over 80k on em. Mine are recieving NGK's after 105k.

 

I'm working on getting a napa store as a site sponsor. So we can have "tune up" packages" at really good prices

 

2X Re: NAPA support tune-up parts, etc. For a moment there I thought you wrote NAPA support STR ECU tunes. LOL!

 

Haha
