maybe they'll void my warranty claim for using "non-oem gas."
Just tell the service manager you want the wheels torgue to factory spec. If they use an impact wrench, you will hold them responsible for any failure on that wheel, including broken studs, warped rotors, etc.

that's exactly what i planned to mention

then they give the big bag of bull**** about how they'll be responsible for my wheel falling off blah blah blah. and they'll say it in that annoying dealership employee tone. a tone that isn't used by regular people (you know their voice with get all high pitched and they won't look you in the eye). god i am looking forward to it already!

btw when i say god i mean chu

I got 3 emails today from random people asking me about the exhaust on my car and how silent it is.. In short, no, you can't hear it over Jims car haha, and it looks very close to stock with everything but the tip painted black..

Chu, thanks for the help mang. I'm pretty sure I've got a hood lined up from a local guy. All I really need is the light, and you're right, its hard as hell to find one.
Here ya go Marc. Special Delivery for you..... I figured I'd post my slip before the excitement dies down. By the way, I didn't log my runs. I have springs that I bought for my FP4Rs but Sean thought they weren't necessary at the time of the cam install. It's a shame I didn't have them on Sunday cuz then I may have a slighter better slip

With you're trap speed you should be in the mid 12's for sure. I think one of my best runs last year was 12.3 @ 110 so you should be somewhere close. What was your 60ft time?

HEY PETEY!!!!!! I need a freak'n IAC module!! I ordered one from JSCspeed and it wasn't even close to the right part. They gave me a full refund but I'm still looking for it. Ya know, that little black thing held on with 3 screws that's attached to the throttle body? I'm sure you know what I mean....haha j/k. Anyway if you know anyone that has them for a good price let me know.

Well there you go, get that thing down to a 1.7-1.8 and you'll be in the mid 12's all day buddy. I hope "The little Chu Chu That Could" is ready for you....
