[helghast7]

dayum dude,

whats wrong with your front calipers? i just found out that one piston in each of my fronts is sticking on the fc...so i need new ones fml

let me know how the repair goes on the wiper switch, if you can do it and its not a 100% pita ill send you over a couple...one for me since mines broke...and the rest you can sell to people that have the same issues lol

i bought like 2 spares and they all have the same damn problem lol

intermidiate doesnt work and washer barely works...but speed 1 and 2 both work...idk lol

I am not a super fan of Red Bull (don't hate) but I do love me some coffee! Too bad I'll be taking piss breaks every 5 minutes!

[WE3RX7]

Hmmm... something his missing from that list.

Also, can you explain #36?

The whole braking system needs to be re-evaluated. After driving the dragon 3 times in a row the brakes started fading big time. So it's time to address it.

I may need to grab those switchs from you as mine completely failed. I had to de-pin some of the harness and run it to an on-off-mom on switch and ground the common pin. So for the last 2 years I've been driving around with a toggle switch for my wipers. Not the most important thing in the world but it does piss me off..... alot.

I love my coffee too, have a few cups every morning but it just doesn't do it for me anymore late at night. Keep track of lbs of beans

#36 - paintball guns mounted in the front bumper

What's missing? Single turbo swap? I don't think I have the time for that before DGRRXI. I'll assemble a Cosmo over the summer and start building the manifold and make it a drop in affair so the car's not down for a few months over the summer.

So what's missing? Besides Center Console arm rest, fix remote start? Which have been added

[helghast7]

no problem, ive got at least 2 i think lying around somewere, when i find them ill let you know

its such a pita that they go bad, stupid 23 year old relays lol, even worse at how expensive the switches are, lucky for me, speed 1 still works, but if i click down for mist and let go half the time the wipers get stuck in whatever position they were just in..and intermittent stopped working all together

lmao about the paintball gun thing, if ya had the room that would be sick to have them pop up from the hood, going in paint blazing!!

[TitaniumTT]

That would be awesome man, as mine is totally fucked and I don't have a spare. I'm sure we can work something out

I'm only kidding about the paintball guns, a few years ago when the population in SW CT boomed, people were just total assholes, now they're only 1/2 assholes so they're not really needed ..... as much

[hades]

VGT - do it.

[TitaniumTT]

I will, just whether or not it'll be on in time for DGRRXI is a totally seperate question.
