Ok.... as many of you know my HKS BB GT2510 turbo died. So I decided to upgrade to the HUGE GT3037 turbo since they cost the same and only need a little extra fabrication to put on my car. That turbo was the original plan for the car but plans came sooner than expected. So I drop my car off @ Action Turbo here in town on Aug 27th.

My recently installed ClutchMaster Stage III clutch died after 1.5k miles so I had to get that shit replaced AGAIN. So I just had Action Turbo do it to avoid hassle.

Sometime in this time I got my wheels from Japan that I have been waiting for 3 months now. Well, I go to install them and see that my coilovers are rubbing on the tire so hey guess what, after having HRS Wheels In CA do CAD designs to make sure the wheels would clear my coilovers and brakes they dont fit. So I have to run a damb spacer which is one of the whole reasons I got new wheels in the first place. I hate spacers.

On top of this headache I go to pick the car up today and we fire her up and it sounds good for a second then I hear some weird noises. They stop the engine and decide that my new Centerforce clutch isnt installed right. So they take that shit out and try to find out what the deal is and they say now my Slave Cylinder wont depress my clutch pedal and they dont think they can fix it......

I have since had to cancel two appointments for my car to get my Cusco Upper Arms and Front Tension Rods installed on top of everything.

I need the car back in time to compete on Oct 8 @ the Import Drags in CO.

So I await there call to tell me what they can do for my car and await the 1 million $ bill. I will post pictures whenever I get the car back but after 3 weeks of them saying "Ohhh yea, itl be done tomorrow" I'm not keeping my hopes up.

Thanks for listening to my saga.... there will be more....

Umm... yeah, right! I think I'll stick to the rice boys with their civics and accords around here. The truth is I fear your turbo <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.
