Strangest part is that there's no skid marks on the pavement. I turned right at the intersection the car is facing in the pics; some Buick in front of me cut into the far lane I was planning on using, I switched to the inside lane, and all of a sudden I felt the curb hit both the driver's and...

Wow. I am lucky to be alive...long story short, I wrecked her. Ended up facing the opposite direction, 2 feet from where the sidewalk started, parked kinda on a handrail and a bush. Pics or it didn't happen T_T I had been saving my 100th post, and 100th build thread post for...

Idk, haven't driven one with an auto. Either way, dumping the clutch is a violent, nasty way to initiate...personally, I feel I have much better control by overpowering the available traction (read: gassing the hell out of it) in the proper gear. Which you should be able to do in an auto, to be...

A 1-way should be fine; all a 2-way would do is allow the wheels to lock up during deceleration. With practice this is useful to initiate a slide earlier than usual. Without, it can be annoying at best and dangerous at worst, especially if the diff isn't set up properly. Keep practicing. If you...

It's the only two wires shorted when the switch is installed and in the off position, so I would assume shorting the two would have the same effect as having the switch in place. Here's the relevant wiring:

Don't drop the smog equipment if you live in CA. You will get caught up eventually, unless you plan on non-opping the vehicle for track use only...and even then it has to be trailered on public roads. You can make mad power and still be legit, you've just got to understand why those devices are...

ftfy. :D

Looking at the wiring diagram, I think if you short the two green/red wires on the emergency switch together, you could theoretically run without that switch in place and still have working turn signals. Only useful if you've lost or broken the switch, though...

Step 0 - Get a spare set of rims and the hardest tires you can find in the stock width. If your car didn't come with a factory LSD, swap one in. Now. Get coilovers if your suspension needs work; you'll need them in the long run. Step 1 - Find a safe place to practice. Safe means safe from...

Indeed. This would be a great...something. I'd like to think it wouldn't sit stock for long in the hands of most of our members :D

I think my body kit counts...I see a handful for sale here and there around the world, about half of that number actually on cars, and absolutely none in the US; let alone with a Kaminari front bumper...pics of mine in build thread :D Wektor Competition: From what I can gather, one of two...

That's...pretty rad. Can't say I'm much for mk2's, but I'd rock it.

...so that's what our cars are supposed to look like? *runs outside* That's just...gorgeous, in comparison to the blasphemy going on with mine. edit: Going to bookmark this, so that I can drool whenever the mood strikes me. Thank you, TuRbOdReAmZ87, for remembering that this exists, and also...

Word. I need to visit that more often to keep it in my Chrome home page...I'll try to come down for sure, though; I have a court date in Manteca right around then, so it shouldn't be too far out of the way :D

Also requesting more interior pics...is that a stock leather interior or an aftermarket re-covering like leatherseats.com or something similar? I love the pattern on the bottom of the front seats.

Promise?! This build is full of so much potential win...can't wait.

LOL (I really did). I PMed him the other day about some of that interior...still waiting to hear about those top hatch and rear trunk pieces :D

MHG and ARP studs may not be necessary to hit 300whp, but is recommended for peace of mind. Hell, mine is stock with a MHG and ARPs...bought it that way. It's our most common upgrade for a reason...reason being that we will always be on a quest for more boost. You can easily get there with a...

I'll be happy if I know I could manage a hair north of 400 at around 1bar or so. Which has been proven, so far, and with tuning and mechanical problems at that. Big question is longevity at this point...which boils down to attention paid to balancing, bearing quality, and material selection.

Sounds good. Where at? Also, any of you guys planning on going to the Zankoku meet on Feb 6?
