I'm kind of hesitant to post this, in case I'm still mixed up. But I can only learn.

EDIT: Nope that's Twodoor in MS.

No response needed.

He's in PA.

I originally had the 1.25" bar and switched to the 1.125" bar after recommendations from other users.
It's surprising how much extra room becomes available with the slightly smaller bar - VERY important when it comes to intercooler plumbing routing (cold side in particular).
Also, you'll need the Racing Beat Bolts&Braces kit or chunky sway bar mount brackets with these bars (especially the 1.25" bar) because they'll tear the OEM brackets right off:

Note: This is NOT a Racing Beat sway bar but is a great photo of what will happen to the OEM bracket with a stiffer sway bar.

I have the 1.25 on the purple car. I'm familiar with the pros and cons. :)

The car has landed. Hope i don't get banned for what comes in the next couple weeks.

Ugh I'm jelly. Car looks great!

concealer404 08-14-2017 12:18 PM

56k mile cream puff. ;)

Purple car just recently got over 100k as well. Love me some low mile NB1s.

ridethecliche 08-14-2017 12:22 PM

That's not the anniversary edition is it?

I would have loved to hold out for one of those, but I think I did pretty well for my price range and the location. I really didn't want to have to travel to get something though I might have rethought that now.

Would have been nice to get a car with a 6 speed and torsen from the start... The cost probably would have evened out. Oh well, it was a good learning experience!

Congrats on the get!

concealer404 08-14-2017 12:24 PM

Nah it's a 99 Twilight Blue LS package. Much more subdued blue, and a (boo! Hiss!) tan leather interior.

So leather package, sports package, and appearance package, huh? Nice!

And heck yes to low mileage NB1s! Mine was at like 103k miles when I got it!

concealer404 08-14-2017 02:48 PM

Yeah i dunno. It has a 6spd, Torsen, small tupperware, and isn't Red. Beyond that.... i don't know or care about much, how they come.

Pish, mine rolled over 89k when I was on my way home from MATG.

concealer404 08-14-2017 04:19 PM

Yours is super nice. Hater.... isn't. The $2000 price tag i got it for was pretty fitting.

Ugh. Tradesies?

I bet you have the 3.9 ratio too ya schmuck!
:rofl:

Where did you find it?

I should probably take this to PM huh..

concealer404 08-14-2017 06:07 PM

No, the only way to get a 6spd in 99 was with the 10AE. This was a 5spd 4.30 Torsen car that had a 6spd dumped in.

Semi truck tree stump pullin gearing goodness

concealer404 08-14-2017 07:52 PM

Sucks with turbo from what i remember from the last time i was in this car 3 years ago.

18psi 08-14-2017 07:57 PM

lol I remember in my '00 with the 2860rs I couldn't even hit full boost in 1st

concealer404 08-14-2017 07:58 PM

I'm pretty sure that's the case here. It has the big 2860r with a Tial vband housing.
