My Subaru is wrapped, and I've never had any problems. It gets soaked. Swain tech is definitely, but also a lot more expensive

 

[transparentdsm]

right on, i guess since i already did it ill just leave it on there for now and once it starts to look bad and fall apart, ill just take it all off and switch to the Swami Tech stuff. thanks

so today i went and bought a D51 series honda Optima Yellowtop for her. for the time being im putting in the same location as the last battery and soon i will be hiding it like Justin did with his. i also decided to remove the muffler that i had on my car and its just straight piped for the time being. the car sounds amazing without a muffler, but i will be buy a few different mufflers to figure out the sound im really looking for.

 

[coyotes]

Mine sounds ok with an older worn out magnaflow and a high flow cat. It still sounds less *4g63* like than most though. how do you get that particular midrange rumble sound.

 

[transparentdsm]

with no muffler and no cat. real nice rumble, the car sounds like a beast now.

 

[coyotes]

I don't want to be loud /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif I will replace the muffler eventually, I am ok with how it sounds now.

 

[transparentdsm]

i have a dynamax VT muffler for my car and it sounds really good. almost a stock sound at idle.

So today was the first time i had to use a tow truck.... the fuel pump went out. so im going to step up the game, im going to a AEM 320LPH. kinda excited about it.

 

[transparentdsm]

got my rims from G the other day. there nice and light, 32lbs a rim with the tire on it. not sure what the tires weigh. also i installed my fuel pump and all i have left to do for the meth kit is wire in a fuse and a switch. cant wait to get my alignment done next week. the car just always needs something done and i love working on my car!

 

[coyotes]

very nice, I'm waiting to see tomorrow if my paycheck is screwed up or not (it usually is wrong). if it's right then I am gonna be spending some money on my car too! it is always fun to me to blow money on that thing. It has been a while since i've had a car that I've really enjoyed. I liked my turbo volvos, but they were all automatic. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif having a 5 speed is pretty important to me.

 

[transparentdsm]

so ive put about 8k miles on the car since i changed my trans fluid and i figured lets see what we've got.... answer is a very very sad transmission. it looks like the silver surfer pissed in my transmission.






good thing im in the process of rebuilding my other transmission. that is going to have an EVO3 RS 5th gear.. really happy about that.

 

[transparentdsm]

so i made some purchases today, i got tires fro the new rims and i bit the bullet and started my exterior changes, i bought myself a JDM rear bumper.

 

[coyotes]

New transmission time?

 

[transparentdsm]

yeah i have one apart right now im waiting on end bearings for the intermediate shaft and im waiting on evo 3 rs 5th gear.

 

[Steve885]

Where did u get the rear bumper??

 

[LIV4PSI]

For real. I had a harder time finding a rear bumper than I did a front.

 

[transparentdsm]

ebay... 500$ i couldn't pass it up.

 

[transparentdsm]

installed battery tray today. fits awesome and i finally have my trunk back.

 

[coyotes]

Where did you get that?
