EDIT: Jesus CHRIST. I just read this post 7.5 years after writing it. How was I such a doot?

[toycoma 0]

i didnt bother reading the rest. put those fucking brakes on that i gave you and get that shit moving you bitch.... that is all.

[Bill 0]

if you need new ball joints, price new lca's, they were the same cost for an entire loaded (bushing and ball) lca as it was for just the ball joint.

 

also if you have any reason to replace the front fenders, price it, mine were dirt cheap, like $40 for cheapo replacement fenders.

[Jason 0]

yea thats what i was planning on doing with the lcas. i remember when you were having the same quandry.

 

the turbos are on their way back in after the firewall dries.

 

 

 

 

the real question is boost controller....yay or nay?

[Jason 0]

i fucking hate the twins.

 

did i mention that yet?

 

nearly a fucking hour to put that goddamned rear turbo oil feed/drain on.

 

shit was bent tweeked and twisted juuuusssst enough to make it an everloving whore slut harlettcakes assbitch.

 

wrist hurts.

ankle hurts.

 

shower and sleep. i was gonna put the rear 1/2 of the DP on but i need a new 02 sensor gasket. to hell with that. tomorrow is another day.

[Jason 0]

i could SO finish this shit tonight.

 

ill hold off till tomorrow. its 11. i need a shower. i work at 8am.

 

[Jason 0]

[Jason 0]

timeframe: GONE

money: slim

twins: WTF oil everywhere. fuck.

manifold + oil lines first on the list. $400 byebye :waves:

 

turbo = 2nd. $750

 

wg = 3rd. $350

fuckit. im pulling the KA tomorrow/thursday. do my regasketing and tq-ing and motor mounts. repaint the bay. heat wrap the essentials. heat shield the BMC. then i can put it all back in next thurs/friday.

[Jason 0]

i just paid my credit card off.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is gonna suck in the most awesome way possible.

[Bill 0]

yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

i might be in the exact same boat this weekend..

 

i wanna know what you come up with. my first choice would be to talk to driftmotion since they have love for the 1J and the owners who got all fubarzored by their twins.

[Jason 0]

id really like to find someone sellling a manifold + turbo + downpipe all in one shot. no welder + no welding skills = no making my own dp.

 

what ive got is access to a shop with a trailer who will tow the car and make it and remake the boost hot pipe for me on the cheap.

 

ill probably hit up DM for the manifold and the oil conversion lines anyway. i was checking out their turbos too. theyre about the same price as phoenix turbos.

[theianmonster 0]

Check Supramania or Supraforums, there's always shit on there.

[iheartMX83 0]

DM ftw. ima go there tommorw . lol.

[Jason 0]

935 has a whole setup for $1499. its kinda redic cause to buy separatly the turbos dont get more expensive, but for some reason their kits do. that includes everything, manifold, DP, turbo, WG, etc etc. it looks like exactly what i need. only thing is its 935 and the website says theres a possible back order. obviously i dont have a problem with waiting a few more weeks, but once its paid for i dont wanna be sitting on my thumbs for the rest of the summer.

 

i didnt see anything like that on driftmotion. again what im really looking for is that turbo outlet elbow to be already made and ready to bolt to the DP.

 

bolt everything up and drive away. not tow to the shop and get more work done.

[Bill 0]

maybe you should call up driftmotion. i get the feeling their website isn't all they offer.

 

and they were supposed to be working on a kit for you a while back, remember this top sectret snapshot taken by our jzxp moles:

 

 

call em up. if i was ready that's what i would do. and if that's not good enough for you, call up 935. get da gooods.

 

and don't forget electronics. safc, boost controller? yes.. yes..

[iheartMX83 0]

i wonder where you got that picture from.

[Bill 0]

:shock: like i said, top secret jzxp spies working around the clock :mrgreen:

[kylefoto 0]

Driftmotion has a ct26 kit up I believe?

Not sure if it includes a DP though?

[kylefoto 0]

Yup

Says downpipes work withh it too.

do this, and buy a .57 trim or something from driftmotion too and you're good to go.

Pretty cheap, can do it for a little over a g.

[Macintosh Classic 0]

not to dis . . too much . . . but 935 has a big rep for lagging like hell on orders.

[iheartMX83 0]

DM. great fucken service. all i can say.

[aphxero 0]

+1 I love buying from DM. Nothing but awesome. 935 just has shitty communication and takes too long.

[iheartMX83 0]

you guys been telling them i refered you ?!?!?!?! would make me look good
