I think getting past the pitbul will be more challenging then getting the car in "D"

Taught you have a drive manual with a 500+rwhp single turbo FD using a 600ft lbs pressure plate clutch? :lol:

I have a hard time pressing the clutch pedal on Eric's FD, it's like leg pressing 300lbs with one leg...

I would seriously bet you would stall it a good 5+ times

K? Thanks! I'll even be nice enough to leave you my Legacy so you don't have to drive around in a silly civic! Then again, my Legacy is probably just as gutless as a civic.

Eh, I think I'll pass haha.

I was thinking more like Dave said, getting it INTO a gear in the first place haha.

He's pretty well a pushover, but I've always been around and letting people in the house. I don't know what he'd do if someone broke in or something haha.

This. LOL

About the stalling, I GUARANTEE it. I even stall it still and I've been driving the thing like this for quite a while haha.

I would love to have my rear fender wells rolled like yours. Where did you guys get them done?

alex_n/a · Postby **alex_n/a** » Sat Aug 13, 2011 9:14

I think speedjunkie did them himself, at least that's what I overheard from the s2000 guys at 5280fest.

Good luck. I think Alex was wanting to be stationed here and he got Mountain Home lol. Actually, he's really happy up there though.

Yep. I did the first set of flaring. Then Zico did one fender and I did the other. Then I did Zico's side a bit more lol. Then our friend Kevin did the filling and sanding.

7th Heaven wrote:Maby he will be kind enough to assist me in this project

I can help. Actually, I will oversee you doing it LOL. It's not hard though, just time consuming. VERY time consuming.

chickenwafer wrote:^I thought you were selling your car?

Actually yeah, I also thought you were selling it. Decide otherwise?

Learjet45 wrote:So then Mr. Speedjunkie, are you going to be home before 2PM tomorrow?

I will never let you know where I am. lol

So as an update, last night I put my 8mm spacers on the front and took it for a test drive. It rubbed so bad on the driver's side, and once it was shaken down it was only about 1/4" off the tire haha. So I raised the driver's side a bit and drove it around last night again. It still rubs a bit when I hit a dip in the road, so I ordered some 5mm spacers that I'll use instead, and maybe raise it a bit more too. It looks AWESOME, it just doesn't work so well haha.
