The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXX

Ghostvette

My fiancee had to learn that lesson too... She insists on backing her Escape into the garage, even with my Z in the spot next to her. Well, it didn't go well at the house I was renting before I bought my current house. She took off the passenger side mirror. Well, it did stay on the car, just broke the housing and the mirror. I taped it back together for a bit before she bought a new mirror from Ford. $257 lesson, she now pulls into the garage.

sidenote: it may be an unpopular opinion but i finally got around to watching the video of kareem hunt's little spat and then the girl giving her story to the cops and his guys giving their stories........ehhh looks like a drunk starhumper and all i saw was he shoved her slightly, the other hit was him shoving a man who obviously wasnt an athlete and falls into the girl, and he pushed her with a mini kick to her butt.

also his guys told the cops the girl was harassing kareems gf. who knows if true.

if i owned an NFL team i'd pick him up lol

Ah hell man, its par for the course around here.
Family vacation? Someones headed to the ER. Happy holidays greeting cards from the hospital room are common too. I had to take a job at a hospital to get the 10% discount on our services.

While I am thinking about the subject, dont forget about soho's top mount single turbo.

JLarson

Don't worry, I included it in my Excel graph of power delivery That's also why I ruled them out. I don't like their power band at all.

Time for my biannual check-in to this thread in order to soak up some cheap repz.

@JLarson - In your position I would go with the BP kit. Look at some of the Stillen/Topz SC threads and you'll see people have all kinds of annoyances with belt slip, SC unit reliability, mix'n'matching pulleys to get more boost, air filter placement... they just seem to have an abnormally high amount of little problems.

Also, if you're just going or a stock motor, 500hp 'safe' (as safe as a boost build can be, really) type of setup... why leave 50+whp† on the table in driving the SC when you could be pushing that out to the wheels instead?

BP kit, in it's current form, looks stupid easy to install. I'd bet I could do it on my own in a couple of weekends on jack stands, even if I am being my generally anal self about it.

Just my opinion - I have no personal experience with either kit but generally follow all the FI subforum threads and have personally gone through the DIY TT install wringer. I'd imagine any top-mount kit is going to be similarly difficult to a TT just by virtue of having to pull out the OEM exhaust manifolds and shoehorn in something much larger.

edit:
† - I pulled this number right out of my butt.
