what one are you getting? I got mine mounted in top of the steering colomn, very visible and easy install. Ive seen a few people with it in the dash. Looks great, but more money and time needed. Could also go under the dash, but w/e suits you.

I'm hoping you don't smoke, so in that case, you could put the turbo timer in the ashtray, or you could put the the boost controller in there. good luck man@

If you dont already have one get a boost guage before you even think of installing the boost controller. As for the turbo timer they are a waste of money IMO.

If you run the car hard at all driving it easy for the last 5 minutes of the trip will cool the oil in the turbos just fine.

Yeah, but if you're out at the track... it's easier to just let the timer handle it... then u can get outta the car and take the keys with ya... and watch some other people race... it's really just a matter of how much time you have, and how you drive your car...

I really don't know at this point... It depends on the way it gets settled I guess... I am prolly gonna get a beater for a few months... then maybe another 3S, there's one for $2k (DOHC) down the road... and it's in good shape and has a J-SPEC engine in it... With all I had invested in mine... I should either hang onto it or get another and transfer parts... I'm thinking a/b buying the other and transplanting all my toys... mine would have to have extensive work done to fix it

damn dude....thats the first pic ive seen...i would have beat that guys ass. As bad as that looks though, there may not be any frame damage. new bumper, hatch and quarter and your back on the road. But, a DOHC for $2K, you might as well get that and keep the busted one as a parts car.

Yeah, I wish I woulda been big enough to whip his ass... I am a 5'6" 170lb average guy, this was a 6'3" 265lb farmer... He woulda kicked my ass... but his wife showed up and when he lunged at me, I pulled my knife... he then backed away... I put the knife away, and we all stopped talking until the officer arrived...
I'm thinking of taking the parts off of mine, at least what aftermarket I've gotten... but the damn repair bill is gonna be outrageous if I decided to fix it... it's bent alot of the accesories in/around the trunk stuff... the hatch still works though (amazing, to me anyways)... I got a buddy who owns a body shop, if the guy has to end up paying for it... I'll take it to my friend, so I can get a "good" estimate... and then buy the DOHC and transfer my stuff to it... ;) ... once the money's mine...

or you could get a turbo timer, walk into o'charlies restaurant, where your friend works, let the turbo timer go, stay inside for a couple of minutes, and when you walk, two guys standing next to your car wondering how the hell the car just shut off by itself.

wow... you pulled a knife??? I"m sorry it had to resort to that man, I'm torn between telling you how stupid that was, and commending you for stopping his advances... well either way that guy was a fucking idiot and I'm glad your okay, and I hope it all works out...

Well, I realize it was stupid, but it was for protection... I didn't advance at him... I even backed away... yeah I appreciate the support... I'm gonna need it... I've got a long road ahead of me to get things straightened out...
