i'm on htechs and i have a finger gap in the front wheel i should snap some pics someday if i get a camera

 

Meaty... There are only a couple of setups out there that I know of that drop the tC lower than the Hotchkis as they are a pretty aggressive drop to begin with. The TEIN S. Techs is the lowest drop I've seen... dropping 2.4 front and 2.0 rear. But I've seen these installed on a tC before and there is no Fing way you can use that on the street without shredding your tires and your fenders. They are completely tucked up in the fenderwells. But if you went with a coilover setup then you could drop it for a show and then raise them up a bit for actual street driving that doesnt screw your car.

 

i was on h techs with the lower pipe and it wasnt too bad...

im on coilovers now and its even lower but im getting new piping soon.

 

hey guys do we have an aluminum intake charge pipe or steel? i believe its aluminum but i just wanna make sure.. im putting a bung on my charge pipe but i think this O2 bung that i have is steel so i might have to look for an aluminum one

 

our are aluminium! .. you will need a ali one..

my car gets tunned tomorrow!!!!

 

yeah what java said

and java hurry with the dyno sheet huh

 

hahah TOMORROW EVENING I PICK UP SATURDAY MORNING!! im actually very excited!! haha

 

^^ hey how's your dyno? hehe went cruising last night i did kept up with s2k and z.. since i cant get a wideband reading right now, i put my richer map on and set my truboost duty cycle to 10 so i wouldnt boost too much.. it was so tempting to go higher haha

 

i looked at my ic pipe thats dented and its dented a decent ammount in but i dont think it will affect it too much..

i think there may be a small hole in the pipe though.. but my vac still reads fine at -20 to -21.. should i jsut slap some tape over it>??hahahahahaa

 

GUESS WHATS GOING OUT TODAY!!!

HAPPY FACE!

 

put jb weld and some crazy tape of over it haha

 

you got your stuff?

 

It's going out today.

If everything is good, the install will be next Friday.

 

nice mang! i thought you were saying the following:

1. i was talking about tuning my car tonight.

2. you said "guess whats going out tonight, happy face"

3. i thought you were talking about my motor haha

4. i hated you.

5. realized you were talking about your parts.

6. didnt hate you anymore..

hahaha

so yeah how long does the jb weld take to dry.. cause im at work, get of at 4 and drop the car off at 5.. but the tuning doesnt get done till 8ish... is that enough time?

 

get the quick drying one, get hard in few minutes, but it wouldnt take that long since you will not be applying a really thick coat.. it dries faster too with some heat

 

ok.. yeah the dent seems like it will hurt 1-10whp worth so if the tune gives me 290 or higher i will assume that i have 300 because i like the assume things.

hahaha ill get the quick dry one! thanks ace.

 

Gotta love that.... "because I like to assume things" ... ahhhh... is that like saying ignorance is bliss? lol
Instead of having a full page on the thread about a dented pipe... why not just replace it? If I was hitting those kind of whp numbers I personally wouldnt want a damaged part on my car...but thats just me. :D

 

^^aye aye captian obvious!

im waiting on a new pipe to be sent to me.. but its either tune now.. or wait forever and ever.. since hawaii has this tuner flown down ;)

 

Damn that must suck being that remote for things like this. So does that make your tune bookoo bucks then?

 

nah.. not too bad.. 500 flat rate with as many dyno pulls as need for tune with boost and afr readings..

i already have a tune on there so they are jsut going to

dyno pull, tweak

dyno pull, tweak

till my graph looks smooth..

im hoping for 290 to be honest.. even with the dented pipe..

and yeah its the only thing that sucks about hawaii..
