    Lol, yea, I'm sure it'd look awesome with some flares though. But I do like the color scheme you have with those wheels and valve color, that brown looks great against the black. Good luck getting it started, I'm looking forward to some videos of it finished!

    thanks, and perhaps they might be in the future, but not this year...

    i might cave, cause you and adam aren't the only ones who think i should, but then again it's my taste that matters most i suppose i'm the one who's gotta drive it and take the criticism...

    couldn't figure out how to get her running. my buddy has his own shop, i'm sure he can wrap up whatever loose ends that i messed up. also, she needs state inspection...

    I really like everything you have done with the car, except the wheel fitment. But it seems you like it so why argue? I can say your car looks like its from the movie cars

    thanks, though you all were right - the front wheels wouldn't turn so i had to fit the stock wheels back up front to drive it home...

    i was very surprised cause i've done this with my wheels so many times, i suppose it's because i usually do 13" stickouts and these are 15's... so it looks like i gotta do something to the rear of my wheel wells, as that's where the only contact is made...

    and i hope this vid embed works... the belts are squeaky and the timing still needs to be decreased. i might tighten up the BOV spring a little to up the PSI...

    Tightening the BOV will not up the boost.

    The only way to get more boost out of a SC is to spin it faster. Either it be a bigger crank pulley or bigger SC pulley.

    ahh, well, the BOV is constantly open right now, doesn't stop letting out air... i thought if i could tighten it, it'd at least be closed a little more, if not fully closed and up the pressure somewhat...
