I never said 5lug. I figured you bought 6lug coilovers and we're giving them to me.

 

Couldn't do it on mine because of the gas tank, not sure how it all sits with the single cabs. My fab guy gave me a contact for the QA-1's, can't remember exactly but I'm sure I can find out again. That's why I didn't sign up for the group buy when they released the price. I applaud them for getting it done and taking their time/doing it right. I just don't see where the added cost comes in. That price is on par with a decent set of 4 coilovers for most cars and QA-1 is not top of the line by any means. Hell my 4-Link only cost me 1000 lol.

 

You know what happens when you assume bRy

Damn, I would be in that in materials alone, how many hours did your fabricator charge you for? I might just save and dump it off with him. Be cheaper to have him do it then do it myself. And I have 5 maybe 6 inches above the forward mount of the tank to run a cross bar from rail to rail to triangulate the uppers but I want the lowers to run parallel with the frames and mount to the inside so I am not scraping on shit anymore. Only things I scrape on are spring perches and trans mount.

 

I got it on the bro hook up price. I just talked to him, he only works on his own shit now in his spare time, guess he started a resturaunt/bar while I've been gone. I only have 650 in materials including the coilovers.

 

Ahhh that makes way more sense. You use QA1 heims?

 

Yeah, not sure how much a normal shop would charge to have it done, but after getting the hook up I'm stingy with shit haha. On the heims, he used material out of his shop(When he was working for his dad building tube framed race cars) I already miss going to that shop.

You're more than welcome to some rides in the truck, just to avoid let down though, it's not going to be fast. I can't budget in ems/fuel/clutch before I get back so I'll be stuck at ~5psi on the TRD reflash. I'm guess some wheres around 400whp? meh

 

Uhhhh yeah that would be why it was so cheap. Good set of heims run 50-75 bucks per pair, sticks of dom aint cheap, and I will need a few, and some plate which will have to be scraps so that will be a bitch. You got the hella homie discount. I charge 75 an hour to randoms, 50 to friends to weld and fab. Thinking if I had uninterrupted days I could have it done in three, maybe four, eight hour days. And Cliff, 400whp is 300whp more then I have

 

I thought I was terribly slow at 342/360 haha. You'll get there man.

 

Sounds like you need something to compare it to, looks like you will need to take a ride in whitney.

 

haha, I'm driving NA right now, its painfull enough. That gas mileage though! haha

 

What you getting right now? I'm at 20, but my 2tr is tired.

 

last time I drove on the interstate I was getting around 23, I don't even calculate it in town. with the SC on, it wasn't worth calculating, I didn't want to know haha.

 

I keep trying to justify turbo will equate to better mpg, but deep down my subconscious knows me too well. 23 is solid though.

 

I really want a SC. They're good on gas if you drive like an old lady!

 

Cept nobody with boost drives like an ol'lady.

 

My grandma does.... She got a subie wrx hatch back...

 

Man, my mileage was so bad with the SC, mostly "interstate" driving. I did around 135 miles round trip every day at 85 mph, I had to fill up every 3rd day.

 

I get 20 no matter how I drive.

 

Fuuuuuckkkk! The thing is for me, we RARELY do anything over 70-75, so I think I'll be a little better off with less boost at the lower RPM?

 

with your suspension and tires? Doubt it haha. I know if I would have done 70 mileage would have been much better. Speed limit was 80 though and it was a long ass drive to and from work.
