Alright more goodies, A1 arms. I noticed while putting on the teins that my stockers were arched.

I also picked up a hand full of hub studs today at Toyo. So I need to get these arms and the studs on this week so I can make it out to the meet this weekend that Matt put together.

I will get more pics this week once I get these on, I'll also get some of the teins and the new stance.

^^^^Thanks guys!

Alright, I got the broken wheel studs replaced and the A1 arms on. I also put in a 185* T-stat, I was running a 195* and didn't like seeing it hit 205* on a 75* day (my temp sensor is on the block side of the T-stat housing, so I see the fluctuation of the temp from the T-stat) "Normal" I suppose but I live in TX and 110* summer is just around the corner!

So I took her out today and the highest the temp would go was 195*, lowest was 185*. While cruising it would just sit at 190* (as opposed to 200* before) So that took some of the stress away while driving the Sup. It also dropped the under hood temp a lot!

Well here are a couple pics I took,

The way the car sat before the Teins:

I now have a boomerang:

oh jesus tits yes! That looks so much better!!!!!

To answer your question up there: I chose the Blitz DDbov because I wanted a BOV that simply vented air. I didn't want any fucking kazoo's and whistles going off. I just wanted to have it do what it was meant to do. Vent air.
If you're not a fan of birds chirping and shit, go with the blitz.

FREE, sawblades to anyone that wants to come and get 'um (or they will go out with the trash)!!


Thats right, new rims and tires for the sup!! 17x9 27mm offset, running 255 40 17 on all four corners. I first started looking at these rims about a year ago, seems a lot of cobra club racers run them without a problem, as seen here: *LINK*. I think they fit great! I do need to get some "hubcentrics" made up, to make them easier to mount.

No gay ass "teaser" pics from me, I give you full on action shots:naughty: :

I'm not painting the bumper! Haha, I'm going to be getting a different one soon, then the whole car goes in for fresh paint.

Not sure if I want to give up the wheel brand just yet.... They are imported from Japan... (I'm an ass about trying to be original on the rims I run on my cars :icon_redf ) I'm sure someone will figure it out.
