That is fricken sweet!!!!

On a darker note, I got another call, two dampers are shot as well on my ST.[:(]
allready [ohcrap]. I'm sure the springs were the casue of premature wear. I fugured the SVT shocks could hold up better than that though? How many miles do you have with your eiback kit? You might as well buy performance shocks now. I am assuming the back of the car btw right?
 
not good. i have the pro kit too. i thought our dampers were supposed to handle the mild drop?
That's what I thought as well. I mean the SVT came lowered from the factory, and the pro kit is only like an additional half inch drop off of that.
 
it scared me the other day cuz I had me 240 pounds in my car, and 2 of my buddies, one weighs about 350 and the other is about 265 if not a lil more and I got out to look at my car cuz it was screaming at me. I had no wheel gap in the back at all. Talk about wearing out your shocks prematurely.
 
well i replaced the motor mounts... and i have to say my stock ones where perfectly fine... one of my friends took a look at everything and said

" yo jazz have u had any tranny wook lately?"

i said

"yea i got a stage 3 clutch and alluminum flywheel"

and he said

" well the problem isnt the mounts (he showed me how hard they where), the problem why the bolts snapped is because whoever worked on ur tranny didnt tighted the rear bolt forcing all the wieght on the front two that snapped..."


im so pissed...

i bought motor mounts (yes there cool and better) that i technically didnt need.... how freakibng gay is that... now when i have the car jacked up... if i push the tire... it rocks in and out..

i know the cv joints have to be f-ed up... but do u guys think the axel is bent???


oh and on a better note.. i finally got the vid of my last race b4 my motor fell

hey yall....lately i have been checkin out clips of top gear which seems like a fun and energetic show to.....but a few days ago i saw their review on the ...GT500....before seeing this i have never seen a clip of them review any other American car (i have yet to see the Z06 review).....but they really seem to bash the new powerful mustang like it wasnt shit....the only problem i have see with the GT500 is that i think it seems a little slow for a 500hp car....but at the same time i can understand the rear suspension setup is for the mustang enthusiasts....my question is....are the guys from top gear really [:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]s when it comes to american cars??
 
well, I finally put my svt wheels back on today. Hope it doesn't snow. Anywho yeah I know the car is dirty so deal with it. Before:

No I wasn't going for the artistic angled look ,that is just kinda the tilt of the driveway. It does look really angled though.
After:

Here's one I just took in the street after going to Costco. I noticed I had a nail in my tire, so I threw iti n my trunk with 3/4 SVT wheels installed and had them patch it since it is free. Well it turns out I had three nails each in a different tire. Ironically, not one nail actually puntured the tire. [werd]. So I don't know if that says the tires are crappy if they pick up nails easily or good since they can't seem to be puntured. The SVT wheels are about half an inch taller than the stock ones, so I have an extra half inch of ground clearance now and half an inch less wheel gap I presume now. The wheel gap is smaller now for sure though.

So now I have my dirty ass car with clean rims and tireshine on. Lame. It is supposed to rain the next few days. I need blacked out headlights and tail lights now though.

Oh, and one more thing, this is the first time I had my car up on the jack since I jacked the curb. My wheel flop is gone since they did replace my bearing, but I hoped maybe whatever noise I still had going on would disappear with the other set of tires. It is still there. All the tires are wearing even ect. So who knows what I did when I hit the curb. It can't be anything serious I wouldn't think anymore. I mean the car and tires are acting fine. It just sounds like loud tires which is why I thought maybe taking the stockers off might solve the problem. I thought maybe I slipped a belt in the stockers, but there are no lumps or bumps or abnormalties on them.

you can beat ur a s s on that... they always bash on american cars... u should see the one on the gt mustang... although i think its actually funny... but the get a map and say "lets find a road suitable for the mustang, oh look heres a straight road.. oh wait! theres a curb!!!" they were saing it cant turn...lol.. but then they got a V6 mustang (they said it was a GT) and raced it against a real mustang (the horse) in a circular course, and the horse actually won by about 1.2 seconds... they finished saying " wow! 1 Horse power beat the 300 hp mustang"

the only time i seen them like a ford car was actually the New Focus ST... he said it was fun, reliable, and had a good price... but then he said.. this car is good because its mostly "british"...

those shows suck when it comes to american cars....
