Spotted In MN

Anyone on these boards own the Black GSR that's in the parking ramp at the 605 Waterford Building on the corner of Hwy 169 and Hwy 55? Our company just moved there and I saw you driving in the garage around noon on tuesday. Just wanted to chat with a fellow enthusiast.

Well, wishing I was an owner. Hoping by the end of next summer. Gotta wait until i'm right side up on my current car for trade-in and saving that down payment so my monthly's aren't so damn high. For now I'll have to deal with being a gawker.

Hey, I resemble that comment. Actually there's probably about a dozen who visit from time to time. Erioshi has the nicest setup I've seen around here for roadracing. Others like me are strictly straightline power modders although I did grab a couple MR struts the other day.

That's exactly what i'm doing on here. I'm trying to learn as much as i can about this car before i get one. I have this sneaking suspicion that i'll want to mod the hell outta my car after i've had it for a while. It'll be a slow process i'm sure, but a process none the less.
Problem is, I'm a huge car guy, but i've never really worked on cars, if that makes any sense.
So when you guys hear my calls for help and see the Bat Light come on, any help with schooling my *** and getting dirty would be greatly appreciated.

now, i just need the damn car...

I'm always willing to help out with car projects. It looks like my engine may be going under the knife again this winter. I'm hoping to get some prep prep work done for a nice turbo upgrade.

Wanna help me install a boost Guauge? It looks easy enough from reading the How Tos but I would be nice to have someone who knows what they're doing show me how to do it.

On a side note there are a TON of Evos in Minnesota. Just this past weekend I went to a funeral down in St Paul and there were 3 evos there. Two WW evos and my TB evo. On the way to the funeral I went and grabbed something to eat and passed a EB evo also. Seems like that 0% financing deal worked because there are sure a lot of Evos now.

Yeah i always see a BBY by 394 and 169 around the 5-5:30 time range and i think someone lives, or used to live close to me in New Hope with a Rally Red. They may have moved though. I used to see them on Winnetka all the time, but haven't in a couple months.
Oh and I parked by a TB at my work today. No idea who that guy is though...

I would be glad to give you a hand with a boost guage - drop me a PM and we can figure things out from there.

My Evo is a TB, but it hasn't been out much for a couple of months - mostly just weekends and track days.
