I know nothing about that car, but those graphics are gay as a maypole. Looks stock, but that's some high miles.

I've seen better deals bro

 

Well got the hotside, manifold and O2 back from getting them coated today....here are the pics

 

Awesome dude, looks good! Thats jet hot right?

I woulda made every car guy proud yesterday. I landed and got home around 4PM crashed, woke up a 1AM, and was wrenching on the car a bit at about 3 or 4AM. No particular reason except that I wanted to do it. lol

 

I've seen that car before. It's not a looker but if it's okay mechanically it might be okay.


Regarding the guy who is thinking of selling the IX and going to an X. I had and 8, moved to a IX. I drove the X and still have the IX.

The X does have the AYC the other USDM cars lack. That and maybe the SST would be the only reason to get one. It is a big heavy car and the IX is no lightweight to begin with.

 

Yes, I agree, ugly paint job...I can paint over that. I was more interested in mechanically how sound it might be. I think I will wander out and check it out. I have to find an EVO within the next 30 days so that I have something ready to race in April

 

Parts look good Brian........looks like we get to have some fun next Saturday.



btw - if u know a machine shop get those (2) studs removed from the turbine inlet on the hotside and go to the (4) bolt setup....makes it much easier to re-install and uninstall down the road.

 

I may start making the switch and start going with buschur parts. Nothing against ETS they make excellent parts but nothing beats 2 hour drive and they can do anything for me if something happens. Ill keep some of my ETS stuff thats compatible with my future plans for the car but if its not then buschur here i come! my plans i think are buschurs new T3 gt35r kit. its gonna be released in spring. I gotta start saving! :P

 

So did you end up pleading not guilty to your mustang/stop sign incident?

 

hey guys, this is a bit of a shot in the dark, but here goes...

i know some of you are IT professionals, currently my company is looking for some .NET developers (we have 3 positions open right now). if you or anyone you know is a good developer and are looking for work, or in need of a new gig PM me.

we've got some interesting stuff going on project wise, and the company is a good place to work in general. the company is called SnapRetail, and we're an IT services provider to the gift and home decor industry.

if any of this sounds interesting, hit me up.

 

Well on a serious house note......We actually did find a house and have been in negotiations and finally came to terms.

So I am one step closer to being a home owner - if all inspections, etc go well the closing will be around march 12th if not sooner.

So glad I can stop looking - house hunting sucks, but I did get my big 2 car garage I wanted. So while no evo mods for me in 2010 i got the best mod of all, the GARAGE MOD.

 

congratulations travis, that's a huge step.

 

Probably would have hit you up, but but was offered a sweet job working from home. Couldn't pass that up.

 

Congrats Trav!! Garage mod FTW

 

funny you should mention that actually. we are currently looking at virtualizing our entire IT department.

we've had a hell of a time finding quality candidates in the pittsburgh area, and have been reaching out to other cities and possibly hiring other remote developers.

 

Oh yea - I cannot wait.....garage mod is the best mod
