Pics(again sorry for cell phone quality):
Bad news:
after watching a rb20 s13 run a boosted hatch this lil n/a ls wanted to run me. so i say why not for shits and giggles. he wanted a 2nd gear run(lol all motor) so we go, he gets the jump(no horns) and blah blah. I go to shift into 3rd and the moment i step back on the gas the tack shot stright to 6k. Damn clutch slipping like a bitch. So i feather the throttle shake my head, shift to forth and then just slow down. best part was, he didnt pull at all and i wasnt at full throttle till 3rd when the clutch said fuck you
the point of that is, damn 16g is boss & too much for wut ever clutch i have in here. So the next things i buy for the car are gonna be a fuel pump and new clutch.
time to upgrade to a stage 3 clutch

I don't see that as bad news.
Perhaps if you threw a rod then yea, get a new clutch :p
lol bad news depending on how u look at it. A, i didnt be a na ls hatch. B. I need a new clutch to even get to wot.
oh and i pulled the plugs today and they look funny, coated with soot, and the tips are whiteish(lean i kno) and it looks like a lil bit of det. Im gonna run up to a shop here soon and see if they can tell me wut the say exactly.

Wait, break in your rotors?? You put Duralast pads on it, the break in procedure is to drive NICELY for about 200-300 miles. You beat on those, you'll glaze the fuck out of them and ruin them.
LOL.....damn tim. i have to agree with john. Just easy on the breaks. i never broke in mine i just break like normal.....BTW i never knew you where Afercian american. LOL i always tought you where white for some odd ass reason. LOL cool shit you never showed a pic of your self so idk. EITHER that or you fucking with us. ANywho
DAMN YOU i want some SI. ill trade my Motigis traklites for those HAHA J/K my rims are worth to much for that. i cant find a set thou. BTW wtf you using homie. HOME DEPO special 90 bends. If so those arent going to hold for shit. WHAT UP WITH THE VIDS.....
To my suprise my stage 1 clutch is holding like a savage on top of that its a ebay special LOL. G GRIP or some shit.

lol it was one pull i wasn't beating on them, hell i prob only got to like 80-95. but i have put like 200miles on them already( i do alot of cross atl driving haha) i still need to get a good heat cycle or 10 in so they can set the rotors the proper way. i think i got like 4-5 of the 50 to 10mph stops in per powerslot instructions. but im gonna do 10 60-10mph ones tomorrow on the way to lukes.
lol yup im black. didn't notice the statement guaynabo said about my hands turning white? lol but speaking proper throws ppl off
and the si's need tires and i gotta polish 2 of them so its not like i can throw them on now... well.. i could but it would look super goofy and id prob slide off the road...
FUck it. home made slicks lol

On BMW's, you get up to about 60-80, put the pedal to the floor but don't stop all the way. Break in done.

lol. i broke mine in yesterday on the way to lukes, flew past his house on like my 6-7th stop and then the brakes smoked like the fuckers on fire then the pedal went to the floor... but after they cooled back everything was good. im gonna change the fluid soon and hopefully get a new prop valve.On BMW's, you get up to about 60-80, put the pedal to the floor but don't stop all the way.

boooooooooooooooooooooooooom

boom boom pow?
seriously though Tim, take it easy or you won't have a car for the meet.
lol i have only done one WOT pass and thats when the clutch was slipping. but i dont beat on the car at all. i just DD it, get into boost like 2 times a week over 7psi. for maybe one second.
hell i only drive like 30 miles a week cuz of the lack of gas money haha.
did some math last night and found out i got 22,xxx miles on the motor and 5,517miles on the t25 set up. hehe... and just priced out a new clutch.. hopefully i can some how manage to get it soon.
this kid right here is a scrub, but i approve of his turbo'd thing. i has ridden in it.
(i'm really just posting to keep a tab on the thread)
as long as your tune is good you should be fine. You really want to fix the boost leaks unless you want to replace your turbo soon.
429whp 362wtq A20 TURBO. A20T>*
yea i just drive like a regular person 90% of the time, and even when im not its under 75% throttle(its enough to fuck it most ppl haha). as far as the boost leaks, im pretty sure most of them are gone, maybe a few small ones at a coupler or two but i dont get into boost enough for them to matter.
