Where did you get your tinted overlays?

I want to do corner delete now

[ubern00b]

looks pretty sharp, alpine. i am loving those spacers, by the way.

[Alpine]

I did the overlays myself. 20% stratch resistant tint from autozone + BavDom's DIY. Cost a whoppin $12.

Thanks uber, I didn't think the spacers would make much difference, but in person, they really do.

[ubern00b]

yeah, i will get spacers here in a month or so. i probably want to get the sport struts/springs installed first. i think that will be a subtle but hot difference. i think non-sport to sport is like a .6" drop or something. that, added to pushing the rears out a bit, will be sweet.

Yeah, definitely. I'd love to drop mine, but I don't really want to pay $1300 for coilovers. I was thinking about just getting H&R Sport springs, but there's been so much discouragement about them lately, I think I'll just stay with the stock sports suspension.. for now.

[pittyinSC]

I like my H&R Sports, I mean did you see my car Saturday?

Even though I left early?

[Alpine]

Yeah I did, it looked awesome. H&R Sports looked a ton lower than I thought they would, and your 19" M6's looked huge!

People on the board have complained about a 'bouncy' ride with H&R sport and stock sport suspension. Do you feel what they're talking about?

[GMWNashville]

go for coils...WAY better...

[pittyinSC]

Ya but goes coils, def worth it.

I really dont feel what they are talking about, it rides same as stock.

But coils FTW

[Alpine]

Yeah I know coils are better, but I'm saving up for a big rock to put on my girls finger. If you say it still rides the same.. maybe I'll go with springs.

[pittyinSC]

I mean, it rides fine, but feels like it changed handling dynamics of the car.

Like I dont know but it rides fine and it not rough, or bouncy.

But just wait and save up for coilovers after that rock.
Will be a lot more worth it.
Easier to sell back to someone too in the end

After my shocks wear out, Im going coilover.
But that wont be for a long time

[Alpine]

Yeah... I should really just stick with stock height. I'd scrape all over the place with my lip anyway. I guess its the stupid mod bug getting to me again.

There's a new member in clarksville that's interested in getting black vinyl to put over the chrome window trims. I was thinking about getting the EAS kit, but I'm a bit timid about the install. The guys in DC all got together and went to a tint shop and had a guy professionally cover theirs in matte black vinyl. Is there any interest with that among you guys? (TN_3 I know we talked about it...) Maybe if we got a few of us to get the install all at once we could get a good deal. I think the guys in DC paid $50. Eh?

[pittyinSC]

The guy that did my tint did an amazing job.

He might probably be able to. I really want black trim to match my
kidneys.

Yea I have not scraped my front yet, I mean it like touches parkings curb things.
But with a lip you definitely will. I have scraped the middle of the bottum of my car more than anything.( it has only happened like 3 times)

At least I havent rubbed with my tires yet, even with negative wheel gap in the rear

[Alpine]

Well thats two of us in for a GB! May be a few others will respond in the morning...

[pittyinSC]

Well it is the morning, Im just doing some HW for school.

Have you ever seen a Black Fox Body Mustang at MTSU?

Probably not because I dont know if he drives it there or not.

But its Turbo and over 600hp, but he just blew the trans and motor
on the dyno it ran for about 2 weeks haha

No I don't recall seeing one, but there's over 23000 cars that go through campus, so yeah... that must really suck to blow it all on the dyno. At least he wasn't driving so it didn't crash or anything.

Yea it was weird it drove on the street fine and ran perfectly.

Probably because he never opened it up. I mean in 4th gear

with quarter throttle it will start to spin its rear tires on the highway.


Oh well he is building it back up again, hoping for 800hp now.

[Alpine]

800hp is absolutely ridiculous... wait, so is 600.

So why did you end up leaving the game early? I was looking forward to getting to see the Mtech wheel. You like it?

[GMWNashville]

haha that blows...tell him to do a mod motor swap! that trim would look cool black...lmk if you guys need some help with that

[Jerseystyle1]

Hello all! I'm Allan and currently in Clarksville.

I will be at the game tonight probably though, and try to park close to TN_3
