best course of action is a chalk basecoat after we remove the paint..which i never had to do on any other wheel haha
=| did i sound as much like a geek as i thought i did?
anyways, theres only one problem.
the time i have now is very limited...schools started and i take 6 and a half classes this semester
5 at unlv and 1 and a half at csn

Did I hear that right?
I think I should get that nail and valve stem fixed first.
I really wanna get new tires, but my next spending should be on a clutch.

Ask Todd! turbo toyotas all the way!
It's the combination of a larger (compared to some other kits out there) turbo, EL manifold, quality parts, quality build, and tuning.
Once my tuner gets a better grip on the AEM F/IC and the tC ECU, I bet he'd be able to squeze another 10 or so HP at 5psi.
Of course, that's when we'll up the boost!!!
