No Problem 850 97

I'll take 'em off if it bothers you or anyone else :) I just figured I'd have the brake lines on the car by now, and I'd feel like a 'waster' if I simply stopped using the Toyo Proxes T1-S's on the Turbo rims to put on the 17" rims. As for the chip, I still haven't heard from who I need to, in order to get a custom made chip for the car. We've been e-mailing for a while to work things out, and they still haven't given me an answer yet.

Actually, I'm kinda unhappy with the delivery of the SPG9 stainless steel braided brake lines. I was told they would be ready to ship from SPG9 in four days on May 4th. And the shipping company and rate was the same as the OMP Strut Tower Brace from CFI Motorsports, which took two days to ship. So assuming a total of 6 business days, they should've been here on May 14th. I'm sure it's a great product, and I know it really isn't their fault, but when they give a delivery quote, I think it is only professional that they should deliver when they say they will. Even with this delay, I'd still use SPG9 again simply because of the great customer service. Their customer service is what is keeping this order alive, and I'm sure it is also what is giving them great business. In the future, I plan on either having my throttle body, or buying one and having it big bored by SPG9.

With all the mods I've done, and parts I've bought this year, after the things listed in my signature are on, I won't do anything else this year. Next year, I plan on doing suspension (iPd lowering springs, either Koni or Bilstein shocks/struts, camber plate for -1 degree of camber on the front wheels) and brakes (iPd Power Slot rotors, AEM pads). And depending on cash flow, I may also get an Alpine EQ/Digital Processor this year.

And also depending on cash flow, I might also do a complete paint job next, next year. The R front end could really use one. My mom hit a parking curb and she hasn't driven the car since. My sis drives it once in a blue moon, and everytime she does, I cringe. The first time I let her drive it, there was a cardboard box between 12"-15" cubed in the middle of the road, and she just smashed into it and kept on driving. I was freaking out and asked her what the hell she was doing? She said, I thought it would just go under the car. DAMN! The majority of SUV's can't even clear that. Needless to say, there is some scratching on it, and with the 65km on the highway I do a day during the university year, I get my fair share of paint chips.

Anyways, that's the tentative game plan for now. And honestly, if anyone has a problem with the signature, the items in question will promptly be removed.
