heh, i take it that it doesnt compare to the cobalts engine any? Not built for boost at all?

10.3:1 compression, strange throttle body position, tight fit between the turbo and the radiator.
I guess a low boost supercharger would be OK. I wouldn't do it. I'd buy a stock Zetec Focus and start from there with the lower compression and "proper" throttle body placement.
Actually, I'd do a turbo duratec.

Any suggetions in Nova area for mount and balance and how much it possibly costs?

Radial Tire in Silver Spring also does a great job for $10/tire

Holy Shit, Merchants near me charges $30 a tire!

Welcome to nova.
Anyone other than a 'racer' shop will charge you $25-$35/tire. Why? Because the soccer moms will pay for it and dont know any better.

F merchants. my old roomate had a sway bar endlink that came loose and would bang on the driveshaft (i found this out for him later) but he had no idea what it was and took it to merchants. some absurd amount of money later he had a new steering rack, and when i found the problem myself they were in the middle of quoting him for new bearings or something.

Also - Piper motorsport is right next door to RP and has a tire mounting machine too.

wow, that's really good to know! I haven't gotten any balanced in a while, but that's by far the best deal i've seen

I called, they said it was $12.50, but still a banging deal.

Lookin good Feersty!
- REED - 02-04-2006
is it the lighting or are they actually more of a gunmetal color, the original pic you posted looked more silver, but I like the color alot looks great
- BLINGMW - 02-04-2006
yup, dem riiims look good. Now track it! :wink:
- WRXtranceformed - 02-04-2006
They look very nice dude =)
What about your sideskirts, are there any good aftermarket ones? I don't like how those flare back up when they get back towards the rear wheel. Something that protrudes down lower and more evenly would look mean as hell.
