A majority of the peoples on here have progress/project logs so I figured I would join in to!

Most of you are going to ask what my plans are lol so here we are as of TODAY...

EDIT: Well, it's all been changed to surprises.

I don't have super pictures of my ride and the ones I do have, however, are cell phone pictures. I'm not gonna apologize for the shitty photos because well, it's all I got guys for the moment.

Small glimpse of it...

Sounds like some good mods so far. And the future plans sound like something to stay tuned for

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 10:52 pm

So i have no idea if i want progress sways or hotchkis sways.

Progress:
Front: 27mm SOLID
Rear: 24mm adjustable SOLID

Hotchkis:
Front: 29mm Hollow
Rear: 24mm Hollow adjustable?

I'm starting to lean towards the hollow because i imagine that they would be lighter. and the front is a bigger bar. i dunno. what are you guys opinions on both?

i just bought a srt-4 rear section [because im tired of my huge muffler] and a comp cams 200 cam.

they are probably going to be here tomorrow or tuesday.

the cam is going to just wait as i am going to replacing the timing belt in about 8 thousand miles. shouldnt take too too long before it finally gets here.

i know some of you hate srt-4 rear sections on 2 point slows but oh well. not your car

I don't like how the Hotchkis mounts personally, I've installed a few progress bars and I like them.

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 4:25 pm

i dont seem to understand, whats the difference in the mounting between the two?

the srt rear is a bit noisey
and i liked it for a while but i put a 31" glasspack in and its perfect!
dont have to sweat the po po now

car looks good dude

but no more secrets for u! i spilled all my beans now ur turn!

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Sat Aug 22, 2009 9:20 pm

hahahah...

but i guessed yours slaw!! no fair

im thinking about the glasspack, but i dunno. the srt4 rear is going to be noisy, i know. ill see how it goes when i get it.

i said f the sways for now.

i PLAN on getting asantis AMM manifold

prolly sooner than i thought too because a deal fell thru on srt4 hood.

i still want one so badly. but nobody wants to get back to me on it. maybe if passt still has his, ill go get it. but until that time, ugh, i have to wait.

Doesn't asanti live in another country? How do you deal with shipping? lol

But yeah, nice work so far. I like how clean and shiny you keep your ride. Nice rims and tires too.

Keep it up!

Progress mounts like stock whereas Hotchkis uses it's own style brackets that are metal on metal, no bushing. They mount sideways rather than up/down. They are great bars don't get me wrong I just prefer the way the progress mounts.

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Sat Aug 22, 2009 10:08 pm

i think i would prefer the progress as well.

do you know how much heavier the progress bars are compared to hotchkis?

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Sat Aug 22, 2009 10:26 pm

I was looking for TB's for sale and I confused asanti with one other dude with a black R/T who both had one. lol...anyways back on topic!!!

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 8:04 am

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 8:20 pm
