How often do you see a picture of a girl's hand with painted finger nails holding up a tape measure to the inlet of a turbo? LOL

I have a 23lb cat. He isn't "fat" just a monster. Scares small dogs at the vet, I even saw it attack a deer in my backyard. Sometimes he even drags home smalls pups in his mouth.

GT42R, but I don't understand how it could have an internal gate on it either!

In the end, with them also filling in some minor dents, it cost around $900 I believe. It's not stock quality, but don't take that the wrong way, because it looks great. There were some small little bubbles, and a couple little drips, in inconspicuous areas. The car looks much better. I'd recommend it to anyone not wanting to spend more on their cars paint job, then they did on the car itself.

Re: My projects

Sweet The head was on the 2.4 block and figured snatch it since I'll need some heavier duty springs for fp3x cams.. so stoked it was all ready to go

I'm just going to run stock cam gears.. figured the cam gears were almost a waste of money for such little gain. I'm having them powdercoated
