    good news from energy suspension

    more choices, more competition, better pricing. I agree, $120 for one set of a-arm bushings is horrible.

    i just have to say, who gives a fuck? SF has been getting worse and worse for years, thats the whole reason why places like SM flourish.

    Ads on Supramania?

    I liked the little pledge drive we had in the past, wasn't that for upgrading forum software or something? I was quite surprised by the number of "cheap" mk3 owners that donated a few bucks to keep SM going strong. It was good to see people willing to support the community. If you want to do it...

    MDC motorsports

    what do people mean by "priming" the turbo? crank until the motor has adequate oil pressure, then start the car?

    Do I look faster?

    looks good, you should take some time to align it. just loosen the hood hinge bolts and shift the hood a bit, you can even out those gaps no problem.

    Official Samco 7m hose sets.

    when you consider some of the small hoses cost $40+ from a dealer, this is a good deal. how long were you planning to run the GB?

    completion

    Dr J is more of the "learn it yourself" type, not the "I did all the hard work, here's the info for no effort on your part" type. Car looks good Jonez, I still miss the brown car though :)

    short term investment

    you would probably make more money if you left the $10,000 as cash/savings account and stopped eating out for 6 months.

    Help doing timing belt

    sorry to hear. do you still have your stock cam gears? I would return the AEMs for a refund if you can, at least with the stock gears you can get the car running.

    Possible new performance parts!

    I like the idea of the lower a-arms. I've been looking at locost cars (lotus super 7 replicas) and lots of those have handmade tubular control arms, with no problems. The primary concern for me would be strength of the tubular arms, but that comes down to the design.

    Highway patrol

    why run? its much more fun to fight the ticket, taking the cop to court. hell, half the time you can talk to the prosecutor and work out a lower fine/no points if you plead guilty.

    how to get FFIM on 7m?

    thats why i built mine, less piping and no piping over the turbo. the other benefits are being able to run a side to side ic, better throttle response, and of course, it looks much cooler :)

    Anyone AutoCADD users?

    autocad sucks. you should just draw your prints to full scale, and then scale your 11x17 title block by 100:1 that way you can dimension your plans and it will show the proper number, not the scaled number. there may be another way to do it, but again, autocad sucks. parametric modelling ftw.

    how to get FFIM on 7m?

    ive got a few extra CNC punched and bent sheet aluminum plenums if anyone is interested. they will require some fabrication, but its a good start and they look nice. the pic below is from some mockup i was doing with my BBK throttle body.

    a guy t my school built one of those... absolutely useless. the thing made about .25 lbs of thrust, couldn't even push the wheeled cart it was mounted to. that one looks cool though. do it right, build something like these: http://www.wrenturbines.co.uk/
