i think it looks pretty bad-a. i raised the back of the car a bit, and it seems to have a decent bit more clearance now, so i'll have to drive it and see how it does, it really on rubbed the ground in places with large bumps. or places at stop lights where big trucks sit and sink down making the center of the road higher than the sides. ya know?

at least there arent any flanges hanging down or that thing would get f'ed up. it really doesnt look that bad.. it will prolly still hit on some bumps but not that bad.. and im with kyle, i wanna see how it looks coming out, like so you can see the bumper and everything!!

its got madddd jdm slant. he put a couple bends in the end so we could cut back on the amount of angle it had, but its still ridiculous.
zipties ftw!
haha, yep they're great. for some reason that bumper doesnt line up well with the bolt holes in the body of the car

yea but they're not real bad at all, the bends are probably like 15 degree bends. not even 45 degrees between the 2 of them, i bet that exhaust will flow so good, i think the butt dyno even noticed a little more power. i dont know, a retune will tell. I heard sander was thinking about getting out of the tuning scene.

i wonder why? thats a pretty good weekend business.. but.. yeah that thing hangs real low like my balls on a warm day.. even tho it really isnt "hanging" cuz its pretty much as high as it can get to the fuel tank..

i haven't heard that. did u hear any reasons why. he's gonna align my car in the next couple weeks.

the slant isn't that bad, but the muffler seems real real low. maybe it should have been bent upward?

yeah steve, if you hung that muffler anymore then it is, it would be so ricer, and you might as well make your car look like this

i agree with the muffler hanging low, it was real close to touching the area of the trunk that hangs low for the spare tire, im gonna put some shorter rubber exhaust hangers at the muffler to see if i can pull it up a bit. I drove the car around all night and didn't scrape at all. i think it'll be good. definitely seems to have some more power, unless its all in my head, but it definitely feels better. I need to email Sander and ask whats the deal and see about a tune in april or may. unless you would like to talk to him when you go for your alignment.

i'll definately ask him about it when i get my alignment. i'll wanna get my car tuned sometime in spring or early summer if the car doesn't get painted or any body work instead.

yea...i'd do Evan's but thats too much of a drive...even further then tempest. And i like joe. he's good people.
lol, yea Joe is good people. I'm hoping Sander could just consider getting us in sometime in the late spring early summer. I want my car to run its best again. I also heard that sander wasn't tuning at tempest at all anymore. but when you go for your alignment, you will have it all cleared up, just let me know, if you could.
EDIT: I just saw that you said late spring early summer, i guess we both have a good idea of the weather we want it done in.
