just posting another photoshop to make me more motivated to get stuff done...





wtf my car is so ugly

 

Nasttyyyy!!!! You might be lower than Nick! <--Motivation

Get to it already!

 

why dont you push that bumper out? heat gun and something to push with is all you need

 

That chop is so much lower than me. There's like an inch of tire showing and he's on 16's.

I wish I could come help you over Thanksgiving break. I took two days off from work so I have a four day weekend...

 

hurry up!!!!

 

k got some questions. awhile back you were asking about white smoke coming from your turbo i believe. what was the problem? is it burning oil or turbo bad? i think im starting to get the same issue.

 

I know you weren't asking me, but you can try taking off the intake piping running to your turbo, feel the shaft that the fins are attached to, and see if it moves back and forth or side to side. This shaft shouldn't move at all. Alot of times turbo cars burn oil because the seals inside the turbo are going bad

Oh and only check the turbo when the car is off

 

yeah you should check for shaft play like that. the turbo I replaced my old one with has some side to side shaft play which shouldn't be too bad. my turbo was bad but my smoking issue was almost definitely the exhaust gasket. it was almost in three pieces when I took it out. if you don't feel any shaft play I think it's likely gaskets which are a lot less annoying than replacing the whole turbo..

textured and put s4 sides on today..

the side skirts are attached by 4 screws? good to know i guess
btw your car kinda looks like an suv hehe

 

I know.

lol actually they're supposed to be attached by a lot of screws and things with tabs.. there are those two in the front fender liner, a few in the back and a bunch on the bottom. the only ones I have properly on are the two in the front... I have some on the bottom but they're not on perfectly and other than that, a bunch of velcro.. it was a pretty ghetto install but it seems sturdy and you can't really tell unless you look up close at the glued on trim pieces..
