I'll still be in Boston this Sunday. Hopefully I can meet up with you before the next meet to get that AFR gauge, O. Similarly I'd like to meet up with Diego to give him those fog light bezels soon.

I'll try to make it. My car is going through a minor transformation right now so the talon is jack stand ballin at the shop. big 16g is in,st rear sway bar is in, gauges are in, rear springs are in. The agx that was on the side that the spring went out also went out. So I just got one yesterday from summit. Their new but that one blew out. I ordered new strut mounts and new front sway bar links. The parts place I buy parts from BSed me on the mounts for 3 days. luckily I got them OEM from delray at wholesale for 48 each :twisted: . perks of working at a shop I guess. I'm supposed to be recieving them on monday, we'll see If their not BSing me. I can't wait to get it done. I wana drive my car.grr.vent, hope to see you guys there.

Hey Paul, if it makes any difference the gauge I have is "the silver bevel one".

I could bring it to the meet and give it to Ricky, maybe?


Profiesy, if your car is not running just stop by anyway, it's always good
to have new faces at the meet.
Will always needs somebody to pick on anyways.
:P

That's fine... I can always try painting the bezel or whatever. I just want to experiment this time anyway. If you could give it to Ricky that'd be great as I'm sure I'll see him before the next meet.

Holy shit, dude...

That fucking sucks!



On a side note, who is the kid with the black GSX, and does he go to PBCC?

I'm sorry to see that. We got the same problem on my mother's talon. The parts are not that expensive ($50 per side). Try to get the oem replacement. It's pretty simple to change it, torque the newones and don't use any impact guns nor hammers.

His name is John and he does go to PBCC too. He says he's seen your car at school a few times also.

I saw an ad on the Link forums last night for a 2G AWD Passenger Side Axle. Can't remember how much they wanted. I think it was like $40.

From the pictures, it looks like you're going to need one.

Discount is your best option (takes 2-3 days to get it at the most). Don't forget to get the appropriate ABS/Non-ABS axle. Your other option is Garry in Hallandale.
