Ahhh...I don't think Cali is that great. The pigs over there are terrible, emissions are crazy, and the laws on modding are crap

At one point I would have loved to live over there now I'll kinda pass.

Heh, Polar I wasnt tryin to be a jerk to you, I was being a jerk to Serious

And I wasnt being funny either. Im dropping my car off tomorrow morning. I didnt tape the phone conversations, but I still have the email with the address, rental car and drop off time. Is yours CVT? Maybe thats why they are taking in both

Ok my car is at K&N now. They gave me a Ford Edge to drive around Its actually a very quick little SUV.

Polar after talking with Kirk, yeah your car is going in Monday, and then they are looking for one or two more Lancers. What they do is test on multiple vehicles, so that explains why we both thought we got it

What happens is, if they have a hard time tuning the car to work with their intake, they bring in more of that car to test on other vehicles. They had some guys deisel silverado there and they said it was the 7th one they had in there for R&D

Some dude had his ralliart lancer there, saw a black wingless evo and also there was a new 08 WRX that had a very nasty g force wing on the back

But damn...K&N's place is huge...and clean...and amazing. I would love to spend a day at their place

Good to hear that they do so much testing. Should end up with a good product when all is said and done.

I'm happily running their oil filter right now.
