lol bolting the turbo is the main thing everything else is routing charge tubes and cutting the plastic

 

So after he gets the turbo hung, he becomes "The Phantom Plumber", eh?
hmmm....

 

These motor mounts are bull ****!!! The bolt thats in the rubber doesnt want to come out. Need to go buy a breaker bar tomorrow. Cars getting on my nerves!!!

 

Ooooo... Phantom is not in a "happy place" right now. I get pissed and go ballistic on stuff like that, too.

You'll get it, dude.

 

Ya, I nailed it with a couple coats of WD-40 last night so Im hoping when I attack it on Saturday, itll pop right off. I didnt want to go out today cause Im back to work tomorrow and my jack leaks and didnt want to find my engine on the ground on saturday!! Itll come off, if I have to grind the ****** off!!

 

damn! having some problems bro?

whats been up guys? i havent been around in a while, i havent told yall but i got into a small fender bender and my cars in the shop for about another week and a half, and of course the wreck was my fault at an intersection on the one day i decide to drive slow...just my luck!

anyways anything new goin on?

 

Hey !!! my car is in the shop to T_T, i dont have rental reimbursement so i am stuck sitting in my apartment cleaning and trying to entertain my self instead of my usaly drive down citypark and spring creek

car is at protech body shop, so i can walk there perhaps, i had the worlds most retarded thieves try to get in my car....

they broke the wrong window, then they tried to pry the door... smash the front damn window morons thats cheap and simple to replace

so if anyone want to do something i am up ^_^ i need a ride though

 

is anyone hittin up the car shows tonight?

 

I may go up to 360 today. Have to pick up the girl from the airport at 830 so Im not sure if shes going to be tired or what. Will prolly be a last minute decision. If not, Ill be there in 2 Saturdays. Hoping car will at least be "driveable" enough to get there.

 

^^haha okay, sounds good man :D

hey here in texas what mid-pipes are allowed and which arent?

 

one that shows no cel aka one with a cat, or u could just take it off during inspection time and bolt it back on after, its only 4 bolts + 1 o2 sensor. Cobb would bypass this but not sure if they ever look.

o got my car back ^_^

 

some rant against my apartment complex due to that last few events happening here.

I live at Amli @ scofield ridge

Recently my car has been broken into twice, first the loss of audio equipment a polk SR 12" sub and a polk 500.1 amp. Then the destruction of half the car with shattered rear quater window, screw driver scrape of the paint in multiple places.

Also the apartment complex had the payment box broken into. So I recieved a late payment fine. I argue this and they agree to take it off. So the next month I have a 100$ fee for late payments that was previously agreed wasnt something i had to pay. Along with having a charge for something they said would take off.

So if your looking for a apartment in Austin avoid these asses

 

Damn dude, thats brutal. Glad you got the car back though. Hows it look? In my experience after a car has been vandalized, it never feels right again. Kinda like if your girlfriend cheated on you, it feels used. Still working on car. Havent been out there much lately. Its ******* hot!

 

Damn right it's hot. Went outside to check the nitrous halo in the airbox, and just about spontaneously ignited under that hood. I would not like to be doing anything major without some shade and some big *** fans.

How far have you gotten on the install? Turbos hung now? Give us a pic or two.

 

yea the car isnt the same, i can tell, they had to cut away the damage material on the door and u can see the indent where they tried to pry the door open they got rid of the other marks though, the paint looks to be a perfect match unless u look at a weird angle it looks like the paint dips slightly probably where they had to sand it smooth but its smooth to the touch and looks perfect when directly looking at it


i have to take the car back to dallas to go back to the tint shop to match the tint for the window that was broken so it should be a perfect match. but gonna cost me extra to go that route.

dude i am melting here thank god i have ac, feel sorry for my friend in his fd with no ac.

 

Well when u get ready for a new complex, please give my wife a call as she is an apartment locator. Free to use, all you have to do is call her, pick the apartment u like the best, and fill out the application with her name as the referral. Just trying to pimp her services a little lol... The more she makes, the more I can spend on my ride.

Sorry I havent updated much lately, like I said, its been hot and havent been all that motivated lately. Thinking this weekend Imma get one of those huge fans that they use for dynos. So hot without circulating air in there, here are some pics:

 

 

nice youve gotten th hard part done, the rest is cutting the plastic and hooking up the intercooler pipes

i still havent gotten my turbo yet from mazda maniac and he seems to be hard to get a reply from

 

Ya, he was like that when I ordered my Cobb. Trying PMing Hund. Shes pretty good about figuring out whats going with your order.

 

All good stuff, then u brought out the shitty beer...

 

Lol, when youre $3000 over your initial turbo budget, cheap beer is all you can afford!
