I think if you took the rack off and got an SRT hood it would really bring those wheels out. I'm so jealous of em BTW lol

ThatKevin · Post by **ThatKevin** » Wed Oct 03, 2012 12:16 am

roof rack stays! Well it doesnt really NEED to stay on all the time during the summer..

SRT hood would be nice, but not a priority.

I shall post pictures of my recent purchase this week.

I've seen the gap on lots of rt front bumpers, I don't think it looks bad at all. It looks worse on 03-05 bumpers

Holy crap! Nice buy!

Btw I thought the SRT hood fit your bumper... I've seen it on em before with no gap

Awesome! Your a bit ahead of me with the turbo buildup!

thanks

yeah they have a gap, but it's not really that noticeable with the way the bumper and grille are.

I dont think any of this will be in until spring/summer

after buying all the sohc stuff? NAH BRO

plus if I did a head swap I might as well do a 2.4 swap

NGCnoproblem · Post by **NGCnoproblem** » Tue Oct 09, 2012 10:39 pm

Isn't much diff between a 16 valve sohc and a 16 valve dohc performance wise anyway. Maybe the stock heads flow different but if you built either one the only difference is where in the rpm you get power. Or at least that's what I've read.

lots more available for the dohc, and cheaper

Ah that's a good point. Dude I'm just gonna buy a head that's already been done. See all the time for good prices

she hit 300k km last night!

and just for giggles, a pic of Johny and I last night at a meet

ThatKevin · Post by **ThatKevin** » Mon Oct 15, 2012 6:25 pm

well I got rear ended today

I shouldn't end up being out of pocket for anything, but still sucks. I might be able to get my hands on an SRT rear bumper and sideskirts, so if I can then I'll go that route.

Man, that sucks. Hopefully everyone is alright.

Looks like your plate cover took the brunt of it, could have been a lot worse.

P.S. - if you do get a SRT rear, sell me your lip

but seriously!

It's worse in person :/ but w/e I literally JUST picked up the cash from the guy to replace it all. Now I'm thinking of waiting until after winter.. I NEED my bottom end built and a clutch, I dont need srt bumper and skirts

I'll have to decide sometime soon. If I sell it you'll be the first person I let know.

Ethan, SHITTY!

Turns out my piston ring broke and scored my cylinder walls.... Also ruined all my gaskets

Well, just turned down the SRT4 rear bumper/side skirts. I will probably regret it after winter when I'll have to hunt down other ones.

It's the smart thing to do, I should probably put the money into the rebuild since I still need to get my machine work done. Also, going in on a mini group buy for an AEM wideband that I don't want to miss out on.

Thx for quick response.

Finally picked up my AEM tru boost yesterday, even though it's just going to sit :p

Ordered my AEM wideband, should be here sometime this week. I bought the clutchmasters FX400 that was on the fs board. Also, paid for my new (to me) bottom end, and it is going in to the machine shop. I'm told it'll be a while before it's done though :/ So let's hope my car holds up

Got another job, so if everything goes well my plan for this being done in the spring will work!!!!!

Last night we had a small "closer meet" and I got to drive my buddy's S3 SRT. The last dyno day we had, it pulled 374whp, 375ft-lbs. Apparently that was low for the car too... IT WAS FUCKING FUN.

NGCnoproblem · Post by **NGCnoproblem** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:51 pm

You are getting ahead of me damnit! Lol!

Lookin good man can't wait to c it done.

2.0 FTW!
