I don't want a turbo daily either. Pretty much don't want a turbo car at all. Too much work and headache all the time.

they do thorough inspections on the cars. if there is parts missing that start deducting

Utec, harness bar, seats are now spoken for.

Looks like Saturday will end up being a Z meet at my mom's house. Not really the situation I hoped meeting everyone in but should be fun. Don't forget to bring tools...

8 or 9am - no later then 7pm. The only way I will be there after that is if we are still swapping parts.

not really. Alot of parts get damaged or lost in bad wrecks anyways. Plus your aftermarket parts are yours. Man I'm do tempted to grab that greedy kit

The parts that are replaced with stock parts don't need to be reinstalled, just in the car.

(at least that's how my insurance was)

Sumo has mounted a decent amount of tires.
same wheels just putting spacers on, different tires, and dumping it more. (20x9.5 -6 20x11 -7, 225/35 245/35) well i figure he mounted a lot of tires being that he own a tire shop but i just wanted see if he had any experience doing stretch tires. didnt want to just bring my rims to someone with little experience and have them scratch up my rim. thanks for the info

prices are subject to change in person (down NOT up) depending on how good of a job you do putting stock parts back on my car. less work for me means more money in your pocket. these prices are already 100's cheaper then you will find anywhere else.
wow this is a fukin steal, if i had the time and knowledge to take the TT out i would've jump on this!

No. I called & they quoted me $350 (iirc), so I PM'd Corsport & they hooked me up as I'm a moderator at ephatch.com.

Thanks for the info, nonetheless.

Yeah I'm sure uninstalling it would be easier than uninstalling it. I think the install for it is supposed to be like 10 hours or something like that.
