Which bumper should i go with?

[SupremeDsm]

ya but i not to sure of which one to go with i was thinking of a 50 trim

The FP green is what comes to mind when I think of your car. Bolts up like your standard 20g also. Capable of 500+ and ran a 10.7 There's your 10 sec. DD. Read this.

Forced Performance Turbochargers: FP DSMGreen Turbocharger

 

[SupremeDsm]

ahhh that is great because with that i dont think i would have to change my intercooler piping neither... i think my fmic is good up to 650 hp.. but omfg they cant build that turbocharger right now... zzzz any other suggestions i know that greddy is having a huge blow out sale they just fired everyone on the east coast and did a huge price slash to get rid of inventory. greddy in japan filed for bankruptcy.. GG

 

[crimsonGST]

Yeah I heard about the Greddy/Trust bankruptcy thing. If you really want to stick with the 50 trim, try bullseye, they have really nice setups also. FP is a VERY good company to deal with, and they build quality turbo's. They don't like to brag about what they use, and they use only the best. They build fast cars. PERIOD.

EDIT: I'd scoop up all the Greddy stuff you can, wait a few months, sell it all

 

[SupremeDsm]

ya thats what my friend is doing for his shop he has a room full of greddy stuff alrdy and he also got a deal on apexi n1 exhaust systems from apexi they where on a massive blowout so he has a ton of those. but i got the only one he had for our cars. well i dont have to do a 50 trim it was just a thought any suggestions

 

[crimsonGST]

See if your friend can work something out and get you a little discount at price on that FP Green. I'd love to actually see how one performs. If your friend has any Greddy turbo timers P/m me with a price, I want one from Mr. Clause this year

 

[SupremeDsm]

i got a greddy turbo timer in my car that is what it had in there.. its pretty sick love how it looks and it got it mounted on my steering column ill take some pictures of it tomorrow for ya.. and ill get some shots of the seats installed. to bad i can go out this weekend ... pretty much sucks.. ill install my suspension also while im waiting on my motor to arrive. and i cant get the fpgreen because it says on the site that they cannot make it right now since of 9/11/08 zzzzz my friend has a wholesale account with sbr so ill get hell of a discount with anything i order from them

 

[crimsonGST]

Okay, and man that sucks about the Green )= they actually might have them at SBR. They carry a variety of everything so it's worth a shot.

 

[SupremeDsm]

ya ill have to go to my friends shop tomorrow and see what we can get from them.. pretty excited about getting a built engine for free !!! itll be way better than christmas time for me. im sure ill run 10s easily and be able to keep it a dd.i might though just do a full 7 bolt built motor but it will more than likely be that 6 bolt short block with the 7 bolt head. maybe i can save them a few dollars if i just reused the head on my car now. but all new internals for it and take it to the local machine shop... was looking at the hks cams and they are sexy so i should get a set of those. what you think i should get as far as a head build. what parts would you suggest? ill more than likely be getting the stage 1 sbr built short block since its about 3 grand.. so ill need top internals to support it. gimme a list of what you think i should get of her.

 

[gnen1st]

So what did you guys think about the new bumper?

 

[SupremeDsm]

its fine it looks like a talon bumper .....

 

[gnen1st]

bumper looks best in white or silver..it was red when I got it.

 

[SupremeDsm]

sorry bro but i dont like white cars all that much they get dirty to easily so red is better..

Love your car man, It looks just like mine except i have flat black traklites. j/w what size tires do you have on there, looks like 245/45.

 

[SupremeDsm]

i cant remember what the tires are ill take a look at them tonight when i got to the shop to work on the car. ya i have worked alot on my car lately just replaced the tranny then the engine blew up .. so i got a new engine on the way now so im just yanking the old one out.

 

[crimsonGST]

Anything new?

 

[SupremeDsm]

ya pulled the motor and found a piston on the back side of the block yay.. ill take some pictures and post them up. and im getting a bare block and then going to build it up... going to the paint shop soon for a full paint job going with same colors..

 

[crimsonGST]

Great man! My mechanic will be here tomorrow afternoon to do a compression test on mine...Hopefully its just a blown headgasket...

 

[SupremeDsm]

awww man that sucks what happened? you said the other day that it was running fine.

 

[gnen1st]

damn that sucks, hopefully its nothing major and you get it running soon. I just had to replace my axles and u joints.

 

[SupremeDsm]

nah im ordering a new motor for it.. looking to make a 500hp DD... we will see how it goes!

 

[SupremeDsm]

hey crimson i talked to my boy and he said he can get you a greddy turbo timer shipped for $90... let me know.. also i found a motor locally that we are supposed to go pickup tonight.. so about 4 days and my car will be back in action... =)

 

[crimsonGST]

It runs fine for a little bit, then starts to run like dog crap. The amount of time it takes gets smaller each day. No worries though. I still DD my n/t for now. And thanks, I'll probably get that TT in a week or two. I'm glad you have not just gotten frustrated with the talon yet and sold it.

 

[SupremeDsm]

well me and my wife talked about the car and even if i wanted to sell it she said that she would not let me because i have put to much time and money in it to just let it go.. so im def keeping it and since im the only one in town with it gotta have it.. ill tell my friend about the TT i thought that it was a good deal because they retail for like 100 and thats not even shipped so 90 shipped is pretty good i think. ill take some pictures of the progress of the car and the new motor when we pick it up im about to go up there and find out the status on wether or not we going to pick it up tonight or not. ill take some pictures of my new bov. its pretty sick. what can i buy to fix the erratic idle for when i dont recirc it because since its an apexi it cannot be recirced.. WTF

 

[crimsonGST]

Hmmm I'm not sure on that one! Try searching some, I'll dig around and see what I can find...
