Still a work in progess, I have lots of time to get it right.

Mint Blue body kit, Auto Exe Sport Suspension, Next gen Renasis engine, and a greddy dual turbo.

hopefully I won't have to wait too long for the last two. and the rest still doing research.
As of right now I still have plenty of time to decide on what mods I want to install, that fit my driving and visual style.

I was being stupid, I was racing with a bad wheel alignment. Well, here is the story.. It was about 2AM, .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ....................................street race story, deleted and user banned three days..........S................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ......................... back end is on the side walk. I was sliding on the curb for about 100+ yards until it throws me off and slide across all the lanes at which point I hit the center divider and bounce on the other side of the road. As I was crashing, my passenger air bags went off, my rear bumper got ripped off when my back end hit and jumped on the side walk. My side skirts at the bottom got a real bad rash from the side walk as I was sliding side ways, my right side clear corner got ripped off somehow?? Also, my wheel alignments got even more fucked up. But, to end this story the guy that I was racing, didn't take off! He went to the next light made a u-turn on a red light and came behind me to block the traffic that started the coming. Lucky me, all the cars were at the light when I bounced on the other side of road. But, once traffic started coming a truck with a couple pulled up and said they called the police because they thought I need them.. Not because I was racing, because they didn't see that part. When I got out of my car, I first checked and made sure I was alright, not a scratch or a bump on me! So, I go and check out the front of my car, and see where seems to be okay there, I started to go look in the back and my rear bumper is missing!! It's like 150 yards away, from where my car came to an end. So, I ran over there and got my bumper, and asked the couple in the truck if they mind if I put my rear bumper in their truck and drive it to my house. They didn't mind, but asked me if my car was okay to drive.. I wasn't sure, if it was drivable or not! So, I started taking off real slow, and by the time I hit 20-25MPH my car starts turning side ways, because all my wheel alignments are fucked now. Lucky me, I was only like 5 minutes away from home, so I slowly drove back home and made it safe! I didn't think anything was damaged that bad, because it was night and I couldn't see much.. But, the next day when I woke up, that's when I seen how really bad it was! That sums it up pretty much.. I didn't try fixing it for a long time, since I had my 2005 Mustang to drive. Now, I'm almost done fixing everything, I'm just waiting for Jordan to sell me his OEM wheels in early May. Sorry, for the long story, I couldn't make it short without telling the complete story..

Phil, seems to be interested in the Mintblue front as well.. But, the 16X Renesis won't be out for years and it would cost lots of money to replace it.

Cacophany

o gawd, looks like you got in a one sided argument with a curb. Ouch.

^ ... street racing is bad. mmmmkay?

j/k at least you're around to tell about it. Don't let that happen again... or else

Well, I know God was watching over me that night. I could of easily killed myself and someone else.. Lucky I didn't go through a wall, or hit someone walking on the side walk, or even hit a car coming from another direction which could totalled both cars or killed both of us. I was really, really lucky and I've learned my lesson big time! I'm also very lucky that my car wasn't totalled, no body damage, no frame damage, or anything too major!

I saw a car at mazda henderson that has your same damage when I was getting some warrenty work done awhile back. was that yours. ?????

That body kit is very nice, not too in your face and has nice lines.

by the time the engine is out my new engine warrenty will be expired, and I should have my finacial feet back under me so cost won't be a problem.
They are improving the torque and power, and I am rather attached to my 04 as she is working perfectly.

Holy shyt you were very lucky. Count your blessings.

Armin got banned - I always thought you had to be condoning street racing or talking about the glory of street racing. I would have thought that showing the results of an illegal act would at most garnered a warning not a banishment!

He can't clear his PMs untill the banishment is over

What?! Armin got banned? Dang it, i was just wondering what happened....

Phil...I sent you a e-mail on the dyno info for Saturday.. Dougs dynopower can do it. 100/hr and you can use it all day as long as you guys want. He has 2 cars to dyno that day so you guys can take a break when that session comes up. I sent you his contact info. He is located next to the Fiesta Casino in henderson. E-mail me back for more info.

I have PMd "S" and asked him to reconsider - maybe a hand slap and a warning -----he was not condoning street racing and in fact shown the bad something like that will cause.

1. Date of dyno meet will be 5/24/08 that is May 24, 2008 it will be a Saturday.
2. Time of first run should be 8am
3. Cost for dyno runs is not set in stone yet as I am going to barter with them but it should be about $100.00 per hour
4. Everyone doing a dyno run will have to post a non refundable $25 deposit. This will pay for the facility if you do not show but it will be part of your run money.
5. If there are enough Acess Ports or other tuneable ECUs available at the time, I will assure that Jeff (MM) comes up to adjust tunes between runs. I will pay his expenses but if he has any other charge it's between him and you.
6. Once you have paid your deposit, you will be given a start time for your first run. If your 1 minute late, you forfit your start time and takeover the start time of another tester. If you fail to show up at all, you will forfit your deposit to the guy that opened up on a Saturday so that we could test.
Your $100.00 intitiles you to one hour of dyno time which should be good enough for 2-3 runs with tuning. Maximum people will be 8 (maybe 10 if some do not have an AP) cars.
THE DATE IS MAY 24TH, 2008 AND THE FIRST DYNO WILL BE AT 8AM
IF YOU HAVE A COBB AP, ULTIMATE, INTERCEPTOR X, OR OTHER TUNEABLE ECU YOU NEED TO TELL ME IF YOU NEED TUNING.

Any one interested, active, inactive, other club, other car, what ever- contact me

Armin being banned is B*&!Sh%$... They had a run in LA for a fallen street racer... All the info was posted on this form about the meet and all... I am not saying racing is not bad. We all do some sort of endangerment on the road and telling someone how you made a mistake is not a bad thing. Unless you can admit your faults and move forward, you will never learn or help anyone else from learning. Those are my 2 cents...

Can anybody who has Armin's cell number PM it to me? Thanks!
