It also depends on when you get to the terminal though too, like if you show up during Lunch hour or rush hour traffic, there is at least an hour wait to get on the island.

mukilteo ferry takes 15 mins to cross btw.. and there is a ferry every half hour



your gonna sell your GSX? damn that thing is cherry.. sad story, was your percision turbo a journal bearing? i heard they blow pretty easy... i have a percision ballbearing and they are supposed to be much better, havent had a problem yet.

and how much you want for those evo rims on your dsm i got stock black GSX rims ill trade you plus cash (i want my tires though haah)

It'll all come down to which car I feel like modding, getting the GSX to make good power really wouldn't take much. A new turbo and tune and it'd be making 10 second times easily. But i've had this car under the knife for so many years i'm really considering a whole new car; perhaps a starion/conquest or even a 1g. I was running an older style precision ball bearing turbo. It was so old I don't even remember the exact turbo model. However, after doing some current research I am really fond of the FP turbos, the quality of their work as well as their customer service cannot be beaten when it comes to such work.

As for my BBS wheels, I was going to run some Volk VS-XX on my DSM but i've decided not to because I don't want to have any issues with fender lips as I have enough in the Evo. In that case I was going to sell the BBS and pick up a second set of winter wheels, but I have found that to be useless as my GSX sits in a garage with a cover on it all year long.

If I do decide to keep it i'm going to use an FP 3065 wth FP3 cams, go to bigger injectors and see what I can do on pump. As for this racing season i'm going to try and run some good times with the 16g.

As for you whidbey guys, if I am not able to get into your area before the upcoming meet I am Ricky you guys are welcome to come down and check it out. It's posted in the general PNW thread. We're expecting it to be a pretty large meet.

i was planning on making it to the one on the 4th in bellevue... dont know about boss. that is definitly way far how did you keep your hood on at high speeds with no pins bud?

What do you mean? Why would i Need pins?

RaptorReed said:

You would have to take the ferry from Mukilteo over to the island and while you would be near Urban because he lives on the south side of the island, I'm an hour north of him. On top of that, you will probably spend an hour or two just waiting to get on the ferry, going to the island.

You could always drive around, it would take the same amount of time to get to the same spot, maybe a little more or a little less than the ferry if you happen to make the ferry at the right time, but it can be a gamble. So I never take the Ferry when I leave the island, plus I'm too far north for the Ferry to even be worth my time when Deception Pass is only 10minutes away.

I'll come visit you Tim. Don't know when, but I'd like to see how long that drive is .

Oh my hood is black not cf. it's ry hood that weighs nearly 100000lbs. I had a seibon but realized I really don't like cf, my intentions were to paint my hood red but that hasn't happened yet.

Yes. I actually like the look and the function. The cool look are the push pins. Those look awesome.

i was in oak harbor yesterday in my sisters red 1.8 1g auto.. that thing sucks so bad

just give me the 1.8! I'll put it to good use in something, you can keep the car and trans though, i don't need stupid fwd gearboxes. I've been driving the wagon around these past couple days.

hah its not my car or motor to give away, im jus usin it while my car is in the shop, ill probably be in oak harbor again today with it. the trans sucks ass doesnt really like auto shifting quickly

I'll be installing new headlights on the Wagon here shortly.

i ended up going all the way to diablo lake today haha it was sweet. roads clear but lots of snow on the sides. im getting my ride back but i havent recieved my VIS hood yet. so im rockin the damaged OEM hood at the moment. pix to come of new bumper and headlights

like the black mits diamond i havent put on the fog light housings yet but i think it looks really good, and good paint match

spent the afternoon finishing up removing the bump stop things on the front bumper and cleaning up the rear from removing the rear bumper.

Instead of doin my brembo swap this weekend i ended up cracking a rim on a large pot hole. Had to order a new rim and buy all four tires, needless to say i went with a bigger tire and got rid of some of my negative camber up front. The stance may not be quite as perfect as it was before but it is still lookin pretty good and has way more function so its probably a good thing. The brembo swap has been rescheduled for this weekend. Anyone want to meet up before the boss meet and get to know a few people that are wanting to make the drive down. If anyone is interested let me know.

yeah im interested after i get my car back, not sure when that will be, sucks about your rim. i just got lowered on Eibach pro kit and im worrief about my negative camber, but i got the STM camber kit for the rear (bolt and washers) you know anyting about how to get a perfect alignment? it was only a 1.3 inch drop so the website says so im not sure if ill even need it, but i got it just incase.

Just get the rear close for camber. With a prokit you dont need to worry about front camber. i had about -3 or more in front and really didnt notice horrible wear, just get your toe zero'd and your set. Rotate your tires and you wont have any problems, the camber is good for handling anyway.

zero toe in front and back correct? i thnk its zero toe in the front to spec, but yeah i just got new prosex 4's and im not trying to wear the hell out of them what kit do you have for the rears? your stance looks so good! as i said i got the STM camber kit which is bolt and washers. i think i only need 4 washers on the upper control arm in the rear to correct it. but i guess ill still need alignment.

I just went to home depot and got bolts and washers for the rear same as you. Im using four but am quite a bit lower than a prokit but i also have -2 degrees of camber in the rear as well. Every car is a little different, what kind of shock did you pair with the prokits?

paired with KYB AGX's the front driver is shot on adjustment though so what ever it was at i had matched with the rest of the car. it doesnt look too low, i might not even need this camber kit. but like i said i havent even gotten an alignment. maybe the bolts with 2 washers?
