Default Christmas in January!!!!

Got a little quarterly bonus at work so I bought me some goodies. Ordered KJR crank pulley, JWT clutch & flywheel, Labree resonated test pipes with xtra O2 hole, AUT eyelids, and SPC rear camber arms and rear toe bolts kit.

I will install all except for clutch/flywheel. Comment? Any recommendation/tips for any of these product? Just wanted to share my joy. Next week or so should be fun, like Christmas in the mail. C'mon UPS dude!!

Ahh man, I have to spend my bonus on property taxes. I coulda got my forged wheels with all that bonus dough, damn.

Well, enjoy the goodies, man.


EDIT: I suggest getting the Labree's but get a UTEC or Unichip & tune instead of everything else.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah I think the UTEC will be next. I didn't even think belts since the KJR works with stock ones. I am at 32k miles right now.

Tortuga is spanish for turtle. Turtle is a nickname I've had since high school......don't ask!! Torta is the spanish word you may be thinking about, is a sandwich kinda like in a pita-type bread (not sure though) I have seen it on menus at some Mexican restaurants around here.

Default JWT and KJR installed.

Well I had the clutch/flywheel installed and I installed the crank pulley. So far so good. KJR recommend removing radiator fan to make it easier to install the pulley but I was able to do it without removing fan. The OEM crank pulley was a b**ch to get out...as I read it would be. I broke 2 socket adapters. My breaker bar has a 1/2" drive and the 19mm socket I was using was a 3/8" so the weak point was the drive adapter. I ended up just going to bu a 19mm socket with 1/2" drive, that did it....with a lot of muscle too.

The engine is much more responsive and easier to break the rear end loose. I got the Labree TP just need to install. I gotta work so will get them on this weekend.
