The only problem I ever had with tires way was when they replaced my valve cover gasket for me on my eclipse, the guy was tightening down the cover and cracked it, never said anything, i noticed that my car was smoking like crazy, the oil was blowing out of the crack and spilling out onto my engine, i went back, pissed that they tried to pull some crap like that. The manager appologized to me and pulled the guy in and chewed his ****. They paid for a new valve cover, mine was powdercoated, he told me to go and get mine powdercoated and the cost would be on them. The matter was resolved and I was happy.

I understand stuff happens, but tell someone, dont try to pull a fast one, that is shady business. You can lose alot of customers that way, I told him. He said he knew and understood that they needed to handle the situation ASAP.

 

Here is the new car!!!! YIPEEEE!!!!

Tell me what you think?

 

Looking at the pics, I just noticed that the right side of my hood sits higher than the other. Oh and they forgot to put my spacers back in for my hood, so I need to fix that. I am dropping the rear 1" wednesday, I cant drop the front since my driveway is inclined, I have half an inch clearance when i go into my driveway right now.

 

sure looks unique

 

Looking good Stephen

 

Hey guys, due to some of the members not being able to attend the Tampa meet we will be having our scheduled Hooters meet at the Hooters on
LK. underhill by Alafaya at 8pm

 

Wow congrats!!!! The car has come along way I like it.

 

I appreciate it guys, i posted it up to get others opinions and lets just say they were not as I had hoped. I do know that the rear needs to be dropped and I want to get some spacers for the rims to push them out a bit.

I am trying to figure out what I can do about the hood gap. I think I need to get rid of the Greddy strut bar. That is what is making the hood sit strange.

I am going to try some more spacers to see if that works. If not I might get some hood pins. Not sure.

 

Man that hood looks sweet!

 

Looks good Stephan!




Is anyone planning on going down to Bradenton on Sunday?

 

Yeah it does, i wonder where I got it

 

I want to go but I need to replace my oil return line, cant get to it until Wednesday, the car is leaking like a sieve.

 

Greedy strut bar......
You think it might be the hood hinge.......I had the same problem after my hood flew open and it was the hinge.
Check yours out to see if notice a difference from one another......

 

nice job stephen

 

Take the Mazda! I'm just going to watch. My poor car would be embarrassed if I let her get on the track with the beasts that are going to be there. LOL

 

Finally!!!!! It looks nice Stephen. Good job!! Can't wait to see it in person.

 

Sorry Manny but I won't be able to make it. I didn't think we were going to meet so I went ahead and made some plans with my family. Have a beer for me bro...

 

car looks good bro, you need some gold wheels on there, or have your centers powder coated

 

Hey Stephen... if you want to go with hood pins I have some Sparco Hood pins that I will not use. I got them couple of months ago and didn't even open the box. I can give you a GOOD price. Let me know if you are interested.

Edit.. they are silver and for carbon fiber hoods.
