Arbo sold his X? What the hell? I just don't understand why you would go through all that trouble to mod a car to rediculous lengths and then turn around and sell it - unless you didnt have the cash to mod it in the first place. Its a shame because that car was the sole reason the X was growing on me in the first place.

Oh, and just to let you guys know, there is an Evo owner that is opening up a Mustang Dyno in Verona, PA (right near Monroeville). I'm going there early on Saturday to do a few pulls and get some datalogs. He's only charging $50 for three pulls which I didnt think was too steep. I guess Nate from TPG Tuning will be doing tuning there as well. Don't know if he has a website yet, but it is called J&S Auto if anyone is interested...nice to have a Mustang Dyno so close !

^^^ha, holiday, you beat me to it!

as far as arbo's x is concerned, ive been out with the kid a few times to hang out in the south side and he definately has the money to support a car habit... trust me. i honestly have no idea why he sold it, but i think he's regretting it. maybe just an act of impulse

im sure he'll chime in within the next couple days and give us all some insight






ps: i was at class at iup penn center (monroeville), and coincidently there was a subie meet across the parking lot at buffalo wild wings. there was like one other evo there and i think it was slvrr's but not sure. anyone on here???

also i saw denny's gay *** there, he was hanging out with some little 10 year old boy wearing assless bondage chaps. just in case anyone has been wondering what he's been doing lately

Nice im on top of the hill there too. I was thinking about going wingless, but that wont be till winter when i can store the car. Get in touch with Mitsumaster Mike. He might have something for you. It would need painted though IIRC.

Where is J&S at in Verona? I dont need any runs but it would be nice to check the place out since its in the area.

Here is what 3.5 hrs of sanding and polishing gets you.......sad I am selling it after the work I put in it last night just to sell it.



see the link in my sig - obviously local will get a better deal, due to no shipping.

If the dyno is only 50 bux I might have to do it just to mentally know what I had been running.
