i cant believe you listed burton on there.... overpriced pieces of shit. Every burton board i have ever rode has fallen apart within a year.

Forum makes good shit, 32 eh decent and 5150 is good.
I just broke my gnu street series.. that was a great board, had it for 3 years. Technine is the shit, yo!!! look up chris bradshaw, lucas magoon, Jake Devine... straight steez yo

on another snowboarding note, i was boarding today at Mt. snow w/ adreas wiig, scotty stevens, chas guldemond, danny davis and for you skiiers tom wallace and simon dumont. The reason being the dew tour coming up this friday. Probably the best day of my life :rockon:

Not really an update but more of an idea...

I'm going home from school this weekend and im thinking about what i can do to the whip.
1) repaint the valve cover/ fuel rail (Flat black? or should i go with something else)

I was also thinking about painting all my intercooler piping/intercooler black.. the weather is sort of taking a toll on it so i wanted to coat it with something to prevent further damage.
Any suggestions on anything else?

Anyways, clutch is in....its making a weird clicking noise when the clutch is engaged and only when the car is moving..... any thoughts?

Yup he is. Yeah i love him haha he sleeps probably 20 hours a day tho
:lol:


Just woke up, got 3 hours of sleep, which is actually pretty good for me...
plan for today:
get some food, figure out the clicking noise and hopefully get an inspection sticker.

Oh and my car threw a code last night, which was expected due to the downstream 02 not being in the exhaust stream yet p2096.. hopefully fix that today

My friend figured out why his 200sx was running like shit.... turns out that the crank case was getting pressurized... disconnected the pcv valve and the car runs great. His waste gate is acting funny tho, which is a little nerve racking... the spring is rated at 7psi but isn't regulating boost until 17 psi or so... no bueno

Anyways heres some pics

Put a check valve in the PCV, or run a line into his exhaust system. You really want vacuum on the crank case so it'll help seal the rings. Running the line into the exhaust system will be like the crankcase evac systems from the 70's, but it wont be as effective in the winter time.

Car is inspection ready finally! Scanned for codes yesterday and had two....EVAP & downstream 02. Turns out a EVAP line melted due to it touching the exhaust manifold :banghead: Fixed that and installed 2 sparkplug non-foulers into my downpipe.

Also cleaned up and painted the dp

Haha yeah i feel like an idiot for not looking into that sooner, thanks man same here.

Well went to the rmv today, got it registered...then went to an so called "shady" inspection place a couple towns over that my friend told me about... guy was a complete jackass. I just asked him straight up if it would pass and he said yes then last minute told me he was gonna fail it and i could come back when i fix the problem. I told him i wasnt going to pay so i went on my way.

Went to another place and the dude was really nice, passed me no problem. I need to get rid of that damn fart can though.
I would go into more details but i know the FBI watches this site :lol:

Expect lots of pictures today cause shes going back to boost :shock:

Thanks man, it looks really close in the pic cause i took the dp off of the turbo so the whole exhaust is just hanging, its pretty high up when the exhaust is all hooked up.
