Respect must be earned. As for your choice in parts, I would suggest an aftermarket ECU, so as you can do away with your AFM and actually run these 1000cc injectors. Also, should your car actually produce power, that eBay Monsta exhaust manifold will warp and crack. Poor man pays twice.

dude go buy a camera first lol

nah its not all about huge power just some thing to play with until i finish my IT study and start earning 50 to 70 g a year where i can really do my vl up and still have money for a VE plus f it does warp and crack with in the year ill get my money back if broken before 12 months i dont have money for an after market ecu yet so i know how to build an engine guys ive read so much from here its just getting a start on things tocruise around with until im high rollin ive been doubted before and i will gofrom humble stock bgan to turbo hooner

the poor man pays twice

are well its all about having fun now and then getting it done proper: every ones a poor man they have all done the wrong thing from the start so i think it doesnt matter about that what matters is ill have fun get the horse power virus then rebuild my car proper such is life we all learn fromour mistakes im just happy enough to go out and wrek this setup to prove to every one its sheap and nasty but works until the inevitable it will be fun while it lasts

I hope you get some punctuation with that degree.

well im EXTREMELY FU C KIN G DISS A POINTED I had the guards rolled today and the wheels and rear bar still scrub like hell thats just with the old calais wheels and me in the car here are some pics i went to a panel beater they said i need em pumped out so i need pics of vls that have had this done also can i get away with it any other way that doesnt need the gaurds pumped heres a couple shots with the ride height and the wheels on By damagedmafia (http://profile.imageshack.us/user/damagedmafia), shot with 5MP-9BE (http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=5MP-9BE&make=Digital+Camera) at 2009-03-02 By damagedmafia (http://profile.imageshack.us/user/damagedmafia), shot with 5MP-9BE (http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=5MP-9BE&make=Digital+Camera) at 2009-03-02 im told that 245s should not scrub i also want to carry passengers with the 19s on so really need alot more acurate advice thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

245 will scrub 235 would be better

Take it to a SUSPENSION shop, have them accurately align. THEN if problems persist, see your doctor.

235's all the way

after much debate i am sticking with pumping out the guards 10 to 15 mm for 300 bucks this is cheaper than swapping all tyres over to 235s where the result may be fixed or unfixed the guy is also charging me 650 for some minor panel work to be done two big scratches and front bar and rust from the rear window fixed not bogged and the rear guards pumped and respreyed sounds really awesome deal
