  1. Yep, good thing I did sell the truck, though miss it dearly, cause these roads can be horrible. There are a few people here on base that drive big lifted dodges and fords, maybe one GMT800 lifted, and seeing these tight roads, I'm pretty sure they only drive from base to home lmao. That, and these roads kill American cars quickly.
  2. Nice build! Been awhile since I've browsed this forum, missed it a bunch lol. One question though, I'm surprised you are running those rotors. The drilled/slotted rotors have been proved plenty times it's mainly all for show. Though, the slotted bro's out there prefer, well, slotted rotors for track use since it "cleans" the pad surface upon application. I used to run the same set up as you on my old 06 when I had it, after 25k miles of zero towing and not much hard braking, I noticed the drilled portions had small cracks surrounding some of the holes. Sent pics and email to the company, powerslot???, and they wanted to send me some new ones but I declined and bought new solid surface rotors and some EBC heavy duty pads instead. Not trying to upset you about your purchase or anything, but rather inform you to make sure you check your rotors often so to not have any fatal issues down the road since you tow and such.

    If I'm not mistaken, those also use the electronic diffs aka, applied braking to the spinning wheel like the vee dubs. If they didn't install an LSD and nanny out the electronic braking, what's the point of all that power?

    Lol, a GTI I presume? I know if he even wanted a chance he'd need either the K04 turbo upgrade or a Golf R. Factory GTI's are quick, not fast. There's a reason they say that it's a great, balanced car since you can drive it to work, then to the track comfortably and back home lol. Just enough power .
  5. Yup, had the exact same ones on my old truck and loved them. Worth the extra 200 or so as well. Though I got 15% off of mine and it made a little difference. Think the hardest part was getting the old y pipe and back off cause of the rusted bolts. We ended up cutting the exhaust off

    I wasn't saying any of y'all give out points; I found it quite funny myself.

    Got warning points when Stalin ruled the forums
  8. Talk about beating a dead horse. . . LT headers, cam and tune will do you good for stock components. Anything else and you will probs blow up the like glass 4L60 trans. Oh, you could also re gear to 3.73 or 4.10's if you want. Hell, rebuild the transmission and slap a super charger on or better yet, twin turbo the bastard and rip around the streets.

    Lol, me too except I have some Spanish beer (s).
  10. When I got my pacesetters, I talked to Justin about re-tuning the truck and he said I didn't need to, the second set of 02 sensors didn't matter and I just disconnected the rear sensors and everything worked fine with no codes.
  11. Might have been done but, did you check to make sure you had the correct bulbs in all the sockets? I know some cars are sensitive to the wrong filament bulbs and will act oddly. I would also check the sockets themselves for corrosion and possible shorting wires. Really, break out a schematic and start shooting wires. Could be simple, could be complex.
  12. Damn, I have my 89 RMX sitting in pieces in my garage waiting for a new cylinder head lol. I started a resto few years back, almost had it completed till I got to the engine and took it apart only to find the cyl wall completely destroyed. A remanned one cost about $300 with shipping so I think about $500 and the beast will live again! Lol
  13. That a Suzuki RMX 250 in the background???
