    you do not shift gears. You stay in 3rd gear usually

    You rev it until it starts to lose power (or the engine doesn't like that high revs)

    I cut corners to make those lips...

    Its off the bottom portion of the rear bumper... you can't make a full lip because of the exhaust cut-out... so I make both sides as long as I can but still keeping them equal.

    Flip the bit you cut off the rear bumper upsidedown... now you have a mounting surface... you may need to cut some of the plastic off where the surface isn't flush.

    It's better to get the part off a junk bumper, if you can find one.
    I used the one off my car

    How much was that speedometer? That is phat..can you get one white faced gauge to make it look THAT much better? NIce roll cage effect over the shifter..atleast if you roll over, your shifter wont brake...and its 'padded for your comfort' how nice..

    Car needs a lot of work, but if its fast..then say its a sleep and give them all the when they want to race you..

    A modified cam and valve clearance will keep the valve train in safe limits without ramming the pistons.

    I'm looking into titanium springs and retainers
