are you 100% its a MM K member? granatelli made an identical cheap knock off that I had the exact same issue with.

 

I was told it was when I bought it, and it looks like one... but the welds look like shit, so I've questioned whether it was or not.  Now you have me worried.

like I said the one I had was by Granatelli motorsports. and to look at it it was IDENTICAL to the MM unit. but like you said the welds were horrible and the upper mounts didn't fit. Also I know that it was painted black not powdercoated. I would think MM would PC all of their stuff

Sounds like I have a Granatelli then, but it was most definitely powder coated.  My powder coater said he had a miserable time stripping it all off.  I've only got about $400 wrapped up in the K member all said and done, so I will probably cut off the piece that mounts to the frame, bend the piece to the right shape, then have it re-welded.

 

 

MM's tech and customer support is great.  Give them a call.   

 

edit: ruh, roh.  crappy welds? MM doesn't have crappy welds...

 

I've had the opposite interaction with them and it kinda left a bad taste in my mouth to be honest.

sorry Chris. Maybe i am wrong. Just speaking from experience though. :( Good thing we don't have a chat box on the source any more. I would feel bad about cluttering up Will's thread :)

 

Nothing to be sorry about... it is what it is.  I could only go off what the guy that sold it to me said.  I just have to pull an @95riosnake to make it work.

In my experience, there is no such thing as a bolt on part lol. I buy things automatically assuming I'm immediately going to void whatever warranty it has.

Gotta add something to my thread here. Finally got tuning with TrickTuners, were about halfway done right now. Fixed some startup issues and afr is finally under 15 at WOT which I'm sure was healthy for the motor lol. Then I put some stickers on

There might be still some snow on the ground, but it rained for 4 days straight so the roads are pretty clear.  So happy to have it on the road again.  Supposed to snow this week and a little next, hoping they dont lay down a ton of salt.

It's been in the 70*'s here for the past 2 weeks.  A couple days just barely broke into the 80's.  ;)

 

It was almost 80° when I came into work this morning lol.

Had some cheap SR performance ones, I think I had them installed incorrectly so they would pop and creak over pumps and stuff.  I think my buddy tightened up all the bolts when the axle was drooped, so I made sure that didnt happen and did them myself this time around

nothing right now.  I will probably pull the rear end when i park it for winter and replace all the bearings and the axles.  Everything else is fine but its starting to whine pretty decent and a howling noise has started up recently.

So I did a thing...   www.blackmage.us

 

and in other news, the stock mufflers finally let go and I believe i had a very big hole in one of them.  The car was LOUD before, but now its reaaallllyyy loud.    I want to go with borla Stingers, but at $177 a pop I dont think I can swing that right now.  Magnapacks are about $70 a pop, which is more in my price range.  I think I'll go that route... maybe?
