It's baaaaaaaack
 

Picked up my car, post FMIC, custom tune and a bunch of other stuff I can't quite recall because I'm exhausted. I foresee my next ticket in the near future.

(I'd have pics, but the weather's absolutely crap today. Perhaps I'll get some on the Hill Country Cruise.)

Congratz

Thanks. It requires a teeny bit of work from Trade Secret now, for the center caps on the wheels. But apart from that (and a thorough wash) it's lookin' B-E-A-UTIFUL.

Ahem...so umm...I heard you were about to upgrade your turbo soon....and that yours was...umm....going to be available. ;)

Dang this modding stuff is a sickness.

YAY!!! happy crappy rainy day...

Por qué?

What's your complete mod-list and dyno results? I always forget.

Center caps on the wheels were plastic and Kevin suggested Trade Secret to make them match the rest of the wheels. I'm heading there Tuesday.

I don't have the sheet in front of me, but it already had their downpipe, and high-flow cat and I had them add an AMS intercooler, their Cobb Hard Pipe Kit, a K&N Filter, 3-port boost control, and a custom tune. (Blue is before the tune/filter, red is after.)

Very nice! {thumbup}

Yep. My appointment at Trade Secret is Tuesday morning. Between now and then, all I have to do is air up the tires....or not. My TPMS was re-calibrating it seems. (Or my car just missed me :)

Your video is me-to-a-T- :) everytime i get a new mod, I fall in love w/my car (Puppy love) all over again, its embarrassing! i started a thread years ago- Who's In Love w/ Their Car? I am all over again, my new engine is So smooth and rev-happy! I put the engine brace (Stiffy) back on and its Still smoother than my previous engine was w/out it. . . .speaking of rain, the two of us have been out to MSR making love to each other in the rain. . . Maybe thats why I'm lying awake at 3am!

In my case, I tend to feel like the straight-laced guy who falls for the bad girl that keeps getting him into trouble. I picked it up, got on the GB and was almost instantly flying. I mean I felt like I was about to travel back in time and the black beauty still felt like I wasn't even close to tapping its full potential. I was using a feather's touch on the accelerator and it still wouldnt drop below 80.

I showed that video to my coworker and she said it's definitely me as well. She said she's never seen someone be the way I am about their car.

Yes I spoke with Kevin and he said you were interested. My project starts Mar12th and is going to be completed that saturday. ;-)

Don't tell me that! :eek: Do you have any idea what I just had done to my car? The snowball effect that we witnessed at the shop?

Me -- "I'm here for x, y, z."
Kevin -- "Cool, I'll get you taken care of."
Me -- "Oh look, I can do this too."
Kevin -- "Why yes you can. I'll set that up too."
Me -- "Oh, can I get this with that as well?"
Kevin -- "Absolutely."

The only thing about my car that was the same when I got it back was the interior. Pop the hood -- different. Look at the front end -- different. Look through the front end mesh thingy -- different. Sides -- different. Wheels -- different. Ride height -- different. Dyno sheet -- Way different.

When I say it's like a whole new car....it really *is* a whole new car.

They did a whole Fast and Furious music montage on my car. It went in looking stock and came out looking like a beast. Two guys in a bright orange Supra gave me the head-nod. I even dusted a Ferrari on the way home (j/k). :D

Yep all good in 1 month the parts should be available for that swap that your interested in ;-) I know I saw your car on the rack when I was up there looks really good!! Like the CF wrap on the chrome ring BTW
