Thanks guys I got it almost squeak proof still some slight clunks on the bumps. John thanks for the idea with the valve spring worked like a charm. Jack thanks for the help with the Volant air system. All I can say is I am 3 for 3 thumbs up everybody that seen it likes it so far. I still have a little vibration over 100MPH any sugestions.That solid torque arm is not very forgiving. I also need to figure out how to bypass the ABS to the rear if that is possible? Hopefully the intake will be complete this week I am sure it is holding me back a little at this point. Dave thanks for the help picking up the package in frankfurt and the trip to Amberg |

Glad everything worked out for ya! Just hate you had to bug out before I got down there Fri. The Hawk is gonna pull some serious times w/out question. SO the valve spring worked eh? Where did you mount it and did you weld it? Looking underneath my car since the FLP's were installed I have the exact problem that's why I'm asking. Oh yeah I need your MPS mailing address so I can send you some money for the paint! Thanks! Blk Red Silver or white 1 can of ea......... John Silas PSC 2 Box 10786 APO AE 09012 |

I welded the spring to the y-pipe and side/bottom side DS loop it required bending the y-pipe which I did with the weight of the car. I have most of the squeaks solved with the help of my favorite tools(pry bar,hammer,torch,&welder) I already got the black paint for ya. For the letters they reccomended get this nail polish more colors, pretty tough and cheaper. I will drop the kit off inside your car tommarrow it is gloss Black 20 Euros enough for all 4 calipers. I did not buy the nail polish but I am sure you can borrow a little from your wife. LOL Now if you want 3 seperate kits let me know I will pick them up tommarrow. |

You know instead of welding I was thinkin maybe zip tie it to the member of the Torque arm. I'm gonna try that and see what happens. Thanks for the kit. You headin down to Tony's or something? The exhaust leak you were hearing is the air fittings to the headers not sealed. Fixed that though. Should pick it up tomorrow or Wed. If I'm not too busy after work and can get a ride. |
