I like how you explain that money was an issue while trying to figure out how to get the motor up and running, but then like a sentance later you added a flywheel / clutch / 400$ arc oil catch can etc, that made me lol.

haha.. That is a little odd huh? Well I needed new clutch/flywheel actually but I was too cheap to pay for the installation. Dave from Function:Tuned told me the installation would be dirt cheap since the motor's out so I just had to go for it. And who pays $400 for an oil catch can?! Oh yea the people that pay full price on parts! Deals FTW!

So, I heard that ninja's were trying to get at your car, so they took a water hose and ran two ends into your intercooler and exhaust sat back and took pics as you pulled out.
That's just what I heard. Gotta watch out for them Ninja's man. They are sneaky.
P.S. I am included n the Top Secret Location to go drifting late at nite.
no worries I am a bargain hunter too, I still buy higher end products, just don't pay near retail .. there is always a work around or a deal to be found : )
I simply pointed out the irony of being on a tight budget and finding a cheap way to get the motor back up and running, but then buying high end side products at the same time. : P

I love your Front bumper..... Im not sure how they ****ed up the color if your car was there for a paint match.. I could understand if you just left a bumper there.. Especially after you waited months on the paint job..
I went through a similar situation where a shop painted my Side skirts and they were off, the DB looked almost purple.. So they said theyd paint them free if I did the labor.. ****, 15mins later i threw the sideskirts at them!!

lol.. Thanks for putting my rice bucket back together Dave! Maybe it's all in my head, but I feel like the car's actually running better than before. BTW, do I need to break in that ACT clutch?
Nope its all broken in. ACT and JWT don't really require any break-in time as far as I've seen. Glad you're happy with it! That's Function:TUNED tuning and customer service for you! Give it back better then we got it.
