By the looks of it you went with a MGW short throw shifter? Any remarks about it so far?

smellslikecurry · 11-06-2011, 09:15 AM

im a fan of the mgw piece. it may get a little annoying if you are daily driving the car because its a bitch to put it in reverse (super strong spring + farthest gear).

dmragecm · 11-06-2011, 09:36 AM

What's up with the tablet gauge thing? Maybe I missed you talking about it. What app is it?

smellslikecurry · 11-06-2011, 09:39 AM

its a galaxy tab running an app called torque. it connects to a bluetooth adapter on my obd2 port.

Just for you sweetheart...

Owned. LS S-chassis sound confusing.

Ash · 11-06-2011, 04:37 PM

LOL @ LS S Chassis being confusing.

And thanks, I'm flattered, but not gay sorry.

So going back, explain why the fueled kit is so much better than Sikkys.

smellslikecurry · 11-06-2011, 04:55 PM

1. Transmission mount is better designed
2. Header design is much better...Sikkys turns INTO the tranny mount on the passenger side.
3. Fueled mounts place the engine lower and farther back than the sikky.
4. You dont have to bang the tranny tunnel like you do with the sikky kit.
5. You dont need to get a sikky sway bar.
6. Todd at fueled has GREAT customer service.

Trust me I've held both...helped install both. Sikky's CNC pieces are beautiful and their power steering line is designed much better but at the end of the day I prefer the Fueled Racing kit.

Im not getting paid to endorse these companies. You are free to get whatever kit you want I don't care. I'm looking out for you guys.

brewster240 · 11-06-2011, 05:44 PM

oil pan is a structural member, sikky has that covered better, and the fueled mounts look like the carshopinc mounts that courtney used back in 08 that are under $150.

still amazed that this is the same car that i saw before you bought it.

EazyS13 · 11-06-2011, 05:50 PM

nice clean build homie

smellslikecurry · 11-06-2011, 06:12 PM

i agree the sikky pan is def a nice piece. i dont remember courtneys mounts but the fueled pieces are definitely well made. If you can replicate them for 150 than thats even better.

hows the s14 treating you?? still at bmwna?

and thanks guys.

SmokeCircle · 11-06-2011, 06:48 PM

Can you tell me what the difference is between the basic and regular fuel performance kits? I couldnt tell from there website

Awesome work. Can't wait to see the final product.
That engine bay is clean. I like the color. I think last months import tuner had an evo painted that color. Very nice

F20cS13 · 11-18-2011, 04:59 PM

Lol.......
Any updates?

smellslikecurry · 11-23-2011, 02:06 PM

no real updates...calvin from gtspec hooked it up. The bars are super beefy. The finish is ridiculous in person. I definitely recommend these bars to anyone looking for more chassis support. Ill have pics of the rear bar and trunk support bar later.

interior is getting thereeee...austin machined the mgw shifter to accept 240sx shift knobs

sorry for the cell phone pics again.

turbo_dreams · 11-23-2011, 08:38 PM

Be in charge of Misty's build thread once she comes in?

smellslikecurry · 11-23-2011, 08:54 PM

Slikk Logic · 11-23-2011, 09:28 PM
