I'm with you on this one Blu. I have friends on there but I can't even make a comment on their profile without them first commenting on their own profile. It's completely retarded.

I do this 3.5 days a week. 12 hours shift, 11P-11A + an extra 5A-11A. Pretty brutal but having just 6 hours shy of a 4 day weekend every week makes up for it.

Id be down for that. I don't mind the 12 hour shifts but going from not working to 12 hours the first day was brutal!

I'll post mine in a few months Gotta get vacation out of the way and then it's cagin' and J's racin' front endin' time. Still not sure how I'm gonna have the damn thing painted though. If it's all one color, it won't flow with the moldings on the car...

In other news, enjoy some in car from my buddy Ryan (white EK hatch on the cover of Super Street a year or so back). If you're wondering why I blast away and then he catches me every time, it's because I'm lifting so that the video is more interesting. Haha.

RIP Ken Buchel, you will be missed. Ken did much of the work on my car, and helped me MANY times when couldn't figure something out. Guy was a "EF" mentor to me.

Yes I said that...but I also told myself I'd do it for a J's front end. I found out not too long ago that they NEVER stopped making the bumper. Not sure where that rumor came from so I immediately dropped a G on it. I already have the flares. The goal is to run 245/40/15 hoosiers up front and 225/45 in the rear. We'll see.

Evo is just slow because of driver. He would have wrecked me on the straight.

If I ever repaint my 22 year old paint, I will install rear flares.

I'm loving your splitter builds you post on FB. The one on the EG was suuuuuuuper clean. I spray painted my aluminum airdam with SEM trim paint and now it looks like **** from being on track. I need to figure out a tought, smoother paint that will hold up to rock chips.

The ones from oldmanjames (supertwinz James)??

You can order them new. I paid $350 for mine and they're $420 new...not too bad (relatively speaking). It's still a lot of f*cking money

Grinding down those weak MIG welds makes them weaker. I'd go back over them or have someone else do it who can get good penetration while making it look good.

Otherwise, way to go against the flow!
thank you
come look at some of my other cars

Ordered some new autocross wheels. I dont currently own and EF but this is definitely the best chat thread on HT and I enjoy BS'ing with you all.

After some research (Yes im the one you chatted with on FB Nick) I went with the 8's even though it isnt "legal" for my race class.
