First rule of thumb is to remove cheesey wheels, chrome trim, and vinyl. Then you can start the process.

I actually kinda like his rims. Its an alternative to that cheesy 18" rim every 16 year old who thinks hes in south central wants.

The blower went on my L98 at 75K miles and it was pretty much stock. I've changed some stuff since I got it, but nothing major relating to the engine. I run 6psi and change oil every 2000 miles. Engine is at 130K now and its still going at 6psi.

You get an intercooler on that thing yet?

Mines 99% done. Thinking of getting a R/y-trim now.

Joe I've been slacking so hard, no I/C yet. But if its worth anything I'm still working on making measurements to my test / hack me up front clip. Gonna try fit the I/C where the front plate used to be (just like Andris), except I'm gonna do something a little crazy, little extreme.

Man your setup is gonna be sweet. How much HP you looking to make with the next blower?

Why did you attach a picture of your car to a thread asking about blowers? It was totally irrelevant to the subject.

Dont waste server space.

You know, I’m with Guido on this one. The fact is that it seems that a good percentage of people here apparently haven’t even looked at the posted board rules and have no respect for other people’s time. I don’t know why people insist on posting pictures that are unrelated to the topic, extremely large…. Another great example are some of the sigs around here. For example CrazyHawaiian, yours is one of the more restrained sig pictures and it’s larger then the posted rules allow (400x100), and there are tons of people with sigs over the maximum line limit which doesn’t really do much besides make the board more tedious to read if you’re in a hurry.

No offense to CrazyHawain but he has like 4000 posts and should definitely know the rules ,as far as the other kid with nine posts no offense but he don't know jack about this board. Yes he should have read EVERY RULE AND REGULATION before typing a word but then again we all did this, yeah right.

The new kid probably hasn't had the car long or just found out about this board, either way excited to know he could get
answers about his new ride. Instead of being politely asked not to include pics unless specified he was slammed by the moderator
who I feel if he hates doing this so much give it up but don't take it out on people with nine posts he knew most likely didn't know jack. With the age of our cars a lot of teenagers are getting into
them because they are cheap , keep this in mind too.

Regardless of what you think there is such a thing as respect and the right way to ask/tell someone to do something ?????????

Well, the way the rules are written leave a grey area. It does not say sigs must be smaller than 400x100, it says to "do your best" to keep it under 400x100. If they really want to be strict with it, it needs to be re-written. I didnt know that the size of my sig was a problem. Now that I know it was a problem for some of you, I've resized it to fit within the recommendations. I'm "doing my best" to make you guys happy.



Now that I think about it, the first post included an attachment, not a sig. *shrug*

I could have been a REAL ******** and called him a bunch of names.

If ya cant handle things straight, turn the computer off and go to a hippy discussion group or something.

We arent three years old that need our hands held. Grow up and be a man.

sheesh.

I am confused, when did Guido tell him to do a search? He only told him, rather bluntly, that he should not attach pictures that are not relevant to the thread, it is a waste of server space. Notice that the fact his car got more comments then his question. Why does it matter how many posts he has, Guido woulda told someone with 10,000 posts the same. Why is this so hard to understand?

Ok well maybe im outa line a little here myself not sure what i was looking at when i posted. Just seemed like a big rant over nothing, rather than a simple answer or some guidance. My bad, I guess sometimes i try a little to hard to stand up for people.
