    I think its time to give up :(

    I bought a set of mph 2.5 heads and vt stage 2 cams about a year ago, and still havent been able to put them in due to financial problems.

    cutting the bend

    I have a friend with a 03gt m5 who has a mac cai on his car. Ever since he's gotten it the cel has been tripped a few times.

    wheel hop

    In the last month, I've been experiencing some serious axle hop. Could this be a result of bad lca bushings? Before I changed out my shocks it was doing the same thing, but now its back. I think it might be time to ask santa for some mm lca's.
