BOV's DO serve a purpose (contrary to popular belief), hence the existence of a recirculating BOV. Yes, generally speaking, a lot of guys in the boost world don't like BOV's too much. I do, and I got called rice all the time from my HKS :(

It comes with 5 springs and can go up to 25 lbs :shock:
Nice!! I was stuck with a 5lb spring, and had to buy another. That will come in handy when tuning.

I was amped. I thought i had to buy my own spring.

Thank you! It'll sound way better when that exhaust leak is gone =)
It's 2.5 inch.

u must be pretty short ;) i used to be back by the B pillar in my hatch.

you could use a new rear bumper. even though you're doing that "plain" look it just doesnt seem close enough to the ground like every thing else. like your front is almost scraping, sides are a bit higher than that then the back is way higher.

I just lean like a cholo :lol: I'll look even shorter when I get my seat and lowered rails.

I know :???: I don't really know what to do about it. I will fix that rear lip so it's not smiling. But I wish the ass end wasn't so high.

I can see myself living in the west/mid-west some day. I love the outdoors. New Hampshire is pretty nice over here.

the rear isn't as high as it seems, that rear lip hanging on it doesn't follow the lines of the car properly.

what's there to hate? it is what it is. I've got nothing against Alex and her build, it's actually pretty awesome. I honestly think the rest of the car being so nice makes the few misfit parts jump out at you.

and if you know how the proper pieces fit on these bumpers then you'd know what i'm talking about.

its true, the part where it connects to the bumper by the wheels is mounted too high..everything's gotta be parallel

Aww =)

I know. And the flaws do frustrate me enough to sometimes put me in a bad mood. I just have so many things I'm trying to do with it. That and I've started riding horses again, and kickboxing once a week :shock: So my I've just been more patient and willing to wait for the right parts for it. Hence why my turbo isn't on yet.

that's the way it should be. You're being patient and making it better with each update rather than speeding through it and going two steps forward and one step back
