Recently I lowered my car with pat's(tehehodi) help. Took us awhile with many problems occurring in the front, specially the driver side. Broke few parts and a tool and finally got it lowered!

Here are some pictures of it in my driveway

Much thanks to PAT!!! for helping on a hellish rusted front...

I also have a ebay knock off gst N1 (SRS) exhaust. Primo put on my exhaust and made the piping to fit. I was going to turbo my car first but my engine is spitting oil, I'm going to redo the bottom end and freshen up the engine.

here's a video of when I first got my car back from Primo.

I used my camera to film it, sorry if it's crappy :-P

Bottom end rebuild kit I been looking at

.020 over

what would be a good compression for a turbo set up? (hoping for 15psi depending what I have by then)

looks so much sexier! need to adjust camber and what not though to now......


jungy should chime in, he can help ya out more, or blackice, i think his is a turbo 420a also

[twack]

depends, what turbo are you running after the rebuild. I would rebuild it to take some power so you wont have to upgrade later.

Hahn Racecraft makes a pretty good kit for the 420a also.
