Your car sucks, it's ugly, has nothing but crap parts on it, and is probably slower than a '95 Chevy Malibu with 275,000 miles on the odometer.


Ha, I kid. This thing is amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks man. Unfortunately the car will be unfinished by then, so it may look like a checkerboard lol.

Oh man, I haven't visited the Media section in awhile. Glad I checked it out. Dang Rick, you've got quite some project brewing there! I love the Chuck's BTW.

Hey man, let me ask you a question. Does your ARC induction box rattle when you car is sitting idle? Mine does. It's not rubbing against anything either. If I place my finger on that one bolt that's used to fasten it to the frame, the rattle stops. I've tried tightening it and also placing rubber and polyurethane washers inbetween that little aluminum bracket. The rattle won't stop. Any suggerstions?

Hahha, you noticed the Chucks.

I am not sure since everything else in my car rattles, clunks, and/or makes noise. Gutted interior with full locking Nismo LSD FTW. However, by just toying with the ARC intake I can imagine what you mean. I check the bolts around the intake box once in a while to make sure everything is nice and tight. Let me know if you come up with something because I wouldn't doubt that mine does the same.

I hear ya' man. I've been meaning to tinker with it for some time now. It sounds like an old central air/heating outside unit's fan rattling. I'll let you know what I find, if I find a fix...

Rick,

These polished parts should give you at least 25-30 BP (Bling Power) to the wheel.

I'm almost done. I will need to do final details before handing them back to you.

By the way, can you amuse us with whatever you're getting today? I wanna see it.

I thought you had that exhaust already? Now your posting old **** now too

FYI In Japan people are giving that exhaust away, so perhaps you should just send it over to me.

BTW, that second comment is a stab referencing to your y-pipe FS thread in case you missed it, lol.

I look forward to seeing more progress of your "part in."

It will definitely be a race with time. I still have a lot to put back together.
