Huge thanks to F.O.G.

Well my car broke......again, and i was going to get it towed to DSG but the problem is i only have a regular triple A car and it would have cost me like over 150 bucks to tow it there. So i contacted F.O.G. (who is a memeber on this board) to see if he still had his trailor that he towed his monster with. I pmed him and he pmed me right back saying it wouldnt be a problem at all and we exchanged numbers. The same day he called me said the trailor was hooked up and ready to go. We towed it right after he and I got out of work helped me out with everything, towed it over an hour away and didnt ask for anything in return! Its truly nice to see a another member help out sombody in the EVO community.

So Chris, thank you very much for service and help that was super nice of you...as soon as my pay check comes in i have to bring you out for some beers!

You are very welcome. Thats what its all about......helping each other out. When I got into the imports, many people were there to lend me a hand...Mr2u, Jared, Emonz57, the Engineer, the crew at TTrix and too many others to name. I've made many new friends here. Besides, now that I bought the trailer, the more I use it, the more my wife thinks that I really did need it

Oh by the way...Wachusett Blueberry is good

for a excellent guy. Chris (F.O.G.) was willing to help me out when my stock turbo went on my VIII. His quick reply from one of earlier posts about it, was a huge relief. Just knowing he offered that, and for the "local" same night pickup if needed be. But I had noticed far more problems after further inspection, and not just the turbo was a problem. So for that effort, I will gladly buy him a beer too. Can never hand out enough beer to those who deserve it. Mmmmmm......beer

Look for my new thread later this week after my trip to DSG on wednesday

Well Chris has also helped me out. I am local to him as well. He sold his old 50trim setup to me. and of course apon install I will need a tune. he offered right off the bat to toss the Evo in his trailor and take a vaca day or two to bring it somewhere to get a dyno tune. which is a great help so I dont risk anything by driving it un tuned.

aside from that a few months ago I thought I had a problem with my MAF. I posted on here just asking for anyone local who might let me test out theres on my car. He was the only one to reply to me and a few days later we made arangments so i could go pick his up (which he was no longer using since he is running AEM) The Maf didnt end up being the problem but even still it was s huge help in trouble shooting the issue.

In return all I have done for him was go for a ride in his car (that was more for me than anything haha) take a tone of pics and edit a few videos together of his Green Beast after his car got back from TTrix and made 623WHP

he is there ready to lend an hand to anyone. So I to would also like to say thanks. over the past few months he has been a huge help. Oh I should also mention he convinced me to keep my Evo hahaha I was going to sell it and try and get into the MKIV supra scene but that will have to wait for a while now ince the money I was putting away for that is now going into the Evos motor lol

Here are the Videos of FOGs car. The first is a few clips and pics of his car on the 50trim and edited in and made the car on Forza for xbox and tried to copy it. and the second one I made after he got the HP66 and made 623HP. I went over his house snaped a ton of pics and a few teaser vido clips. Lemme know what ya think of them. (for amature editing anyway)
