I may be wrong. But, I thought the spacers come with extender bolts?

woo im so friggin happy i got the clunk noise taken care of from the sway bar. the bushings they sent me were 28mm diameter and the sway is 24mm, no wonder it was hopping around inside the bushings! i took the oem bushings and used the 60grit sandpaper cylinder on the dremel and bored em out to 23mm (for snugness) and they fit like a glove. no more suspension woes and quiet as a mouse!

i put on my CF rearcaps too, kinda looks rice with the stock sideskirts so i cant wait to get the CF ones in as well.

i can help you with brakes julian, as long as its after next week. i have a large c-clamp as well

well im off to the hookah bar to relax..laterssss

^LOL nice Jay

K cool, i have new brake pads but the right corner one is missing the little mettal bracket that you can see in Jay's picture and for whatever reason it screeches like hell. And its only that one. So maybe we can fix that up when we do the wheel spacers.
When i have the money, i'll be picking up the Weapon-R s/c intake also

MOROSO MOTORSPORTS PARK TEMPORARILY CLOSES DRAG STRIP AND ROAD COURSE FOR MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR RENOVATION

WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, APRIL 25th, 2008
Moroso Motorsports Park announced today that their drag strip and road course will close for renovations on May 19 and re-open in the of Fall '08 with new and improved tracks. During this period, the kart track will remain open and available to the Public.

The newly reconfigured 2-mile road course will be 40 feet wide, feature several areas of paved run-off and adhere to the highest FIA safety standards. Soft wall barriers will compliment the tire barriers and concrete walls. The redone drag strip will be concrete to the 660' and have retaining walls extending to the shutdown area. Compulink will provide the fiber optic timing and scoring system. Highly-regarded industry experts Bob Harrington and Wayne McMurtry have been brought on as consultants for the reconstruction project. Harrington's expertise lies in years of unsurpassed road course development and McMurtry has a proven history developing some of the country's finest drag strips. Together, their demonstrable knowledge will provide the best of both racing worlds for Moroso's loyal drivers and fans. With one of the most well-respected track operators in the country, George Case as the new Director of Drag Race Operations, Moroso Motorsport Park has put together a winning team that will deliver on grand expectations.

"This has been a long time in the making," stated Susan Moroso Strecker, CEO of Moroso Motorsports Park. "Our customers have supported us unconditionally and we are so excited to give them the facility they deserve."

Moroso Motorsports Park is located on 200 acres of wooded property in NW Palm Beach County and hosts more than 850 events annually. With auto racing being the #1 spectator sport in the country, events at the Park draw an estimated one million people per year, with media coverage impacting several million more.

Vaccuum Leak???

I'm trying to think. I know when I rev high enough, I hear the BOV as soon as I let off the throttle. I haven't really noticed my boost gauge except that its in vaccum most of the time in idle.

I'll rev it high tomorrow morning, and see what it reads.

I've been trying to hold out till you guys decided to go but I can't wait anymore. I gotta see how I run since I put the S/C in. Just curious to see if I'll be the only tC at the races again.

I ask because i popped the hood while the car was running and and the was a noise that sounded like air escaping coming from right around where the engine cover touches the s/c housing. I don't know whats there that can leak but im thinking that when that mechanic took off the s/c maybe he didn't put everything back on right?

no

You will see boost while engine is under load.....
If you have a BOV is will go off because reving high, boosting or not is causing enough pressure to make the BOV relieve it........
But then again i could be wrong, lol..

I dont think it will go to boost when ur just at idle, I tried that on a Cobra, and the boost gauge didnt move at all (doesnt show vacuum, only boost)
