You should do something with those tails, either a tint overlay or a 04-05 swap.

I may have something in the works to take care of that.

Thanks for the compliment.

And be patient, it's worth the wait.

Nice work

Took me a while to start my journal also...

BillFromTR · 01-10-2008, 04:05 PM

Get some springs, ASAP!!

I'm also in SD and bought mine a few days before you. Definitely love the Stg2 as well.

And yes, get some suspension mods. WL sways and Bilstein PSS9s have treated me very well.

That must've been one fun drive up to WA...

USNSTI · 02-12-2008, 06:46 PM

Well I officially FAIL at running a journal.

But I have some news.....

I am getting Paintles Dent Removal (PDR) done tomorrow afternoon.

And I just ordered $140 worth of Zaino.

So my car should be looking good in a week or so. I will try and post up pics......

Power steering pump fails, leaves me stranded...

Or not. I bought a spare set of tails on ebay. It didn't work out though, so I am still looking.

PDR ( paintless dent removal ) is done. Tony the dent dude FTW.

He took out six

dents for $190. All the dents were small, but still talk about a good deal.

If you are in San Diego county and have some dents I highly recommend Tony

The Dent Dude - High Quality Dent Repair

Also my Zaino is here. So hopefully this week I will get a chance to detail and then post up some pics.

Well I sold my Rotas this past weekend. I figured now would be a good time to post a couple pics of them. If for no other reason then to remember what they looked like. I am back on the gold BBS wheels for a while. I loved the Rotas, but one set had to go, and it wasn't going to be the BBS.

USNSTI · 03-04-2008, 08:28 PM

I also snapped some cool pics of my Cobb TBE exhaust with heat shield. They are not the best, and the car is dirty as hell, but they do show the exhaust fairly well.....

I am on 32nd street. I got it tinted at a shop on El Cajon Blvd in the hood. I think it was $180 but it was a while ago. I could go pull out the reciept later....

Well I am finally upgrading my suspension this week! I have an appointment at Rush Motorsports ( Rush Motorsports - 619-562-1801 - info@rushmotorsports.com) to get the following installled:

Cobb sways
Kartboy endlinks (front and rear)
Prodrive springs
Group N tophats

I look at this as being a basic "stage 2" for suspension upgrades. I am so excited to get everything on! Dropping the car off on Thursday AM and picking it up after "work". Wish me luck. Oh and I took some pics of everything so you guys can see it. I will also put up lots of pics after the install and detailing the car this weekend as well.
