How's everyone doing this summer? Hope no one is getting overheated or nothing.

Seems like our section has died out for the most part for the month of July

Just thought I'd see how everyone's projects are going and see how all the owners are doing and the businesses on here.

Hope everyone is having a "cool" summer!

Rockin a big Stiffy now.

Installed my Stiffy this weekend and found it to be amazing. I have it installed on 10mm. You can hear the engine a little louder but I'm happy because it does not rattle anything in the interior at all. I did cover the under side of the bracket with Edead. Here are the benefits I experienced.

1) While accelerating at wot, going over bumps was a killer, it felt like the axels could snap. This must of been due to the engine jamming back and forth.

2) Smoother downshifting.

3) Smoother launching and up shifting.

tC4italy - yeah we had that talk before with the skirt!

Simplyscion - yes its been too quiet, maybe because ppl are doing mods??

Schuller - How did you set it on 10mm??

A bag of ice will last about 1 minute out here in AZ today. It's 115 today *GAG*

Ah okie doke. I'll have to adjust it if my car gets done tomorrow

WeDriveScions

It's been refreshingly quiet...

I really think that things were flying so fast that we got used to something new hitting every week... now, it's slowed down a bit and will allow all the kinks to be worked out of the setups and such...

Plus, the lack of drama is just wonderful!

I gotta get me one of those ingalls doohickies...

BlkSandPrlTurbotC

I'm kind of glad things have clamed down. Hopefully now we can all get a long and really have the tC a feared car in the Tuner Scene

Yes you should get a stiffy!

Its been exceptionally hot here to. Record highs are predicted for this week. Makes horrible weather for tuning, especially with the high dew points and humidity in the air.

My car is coming along nicely. Paint and body work should be done soon and then I can finally put some miles on it, which will be nice. Then I'll just need a decent day to get it tuned out.

I agree, the lack of drama is quite refreshing.

GOt out into the car at lunch and pressed the temp button, and said "Woah, I didn't know it went past two digits!". It has been on average 85-95 in Upstate South Cakalak.

As for project, My turbo kit ships this week from Sound Performance. Might go get a dyno pull this friday, if I can remember to pre-register. Big brake kit is holding up after one week of being on, braided lines and the rotor swap made a big difference.

Other than that, fairly quiet around here, just running from the cops as usual (loitering, didn't know it was a crime if no sign was posted.....)

Yeah, humidity sucks.

I've been staying inside checkin' out the site and trying out new beers I purchased at BevMo! At least the pool is my summer savior! Thank god the dram-ma is gone! It was almost getting to the point where I didn't like this site anymore. Now, its pretty cool here.

rhythmnsmoke

That's because I haven't been around to shake things up....

This is about as much excitement as I have had since the tC went into the shop.

I coated my wheels on the Z:

coppermine18

SO-CAL_TC

Well gotta admit things have slowed down quite a bit around here. My kit is coming along pretty good I'll be ordering my injectors prob. tom. then once they arrive I will install those along with my new hks type 1 turbo timer and it will be off to the dyno.

tC4italy

Simplyscion

Its to hot to even ride my bike out in this weather...its the worst when its like this...no matter if you do 15mph or 150mph, the wind is still hot no matter what speed and will not cool you down
Thank god for central air and a/c for cars

Im siciliano, all my family is in Carini, right outside Palermo. Me and one of my cousins have the same exact name and we were born only 2 months apart...weird lol. My parents were there last November but I didnt end up going with them, I went to Vegas instead...had a lot of fun but definitely couldnt stay with them for the full 2 weeks. This time I think they are just going for a week to stay with the family for a lil. Last time they did a little touring around the Almafi, Positano etc

tC4italy
