Actually, mine is off the car. Wouldn't fit with the new intercooler. Not sure if I want to part with it yet, but I know its a very tough piece to find these days.


Marc, now I'm not sure if this is because of the turbo, or the big map, but the car felt a ton smooth on acceleration on V7. Fine tuning has got to play into that thanks to the extended load definition. I was on the V5 for a very short period of time, and then none at all. I also like the V7 has all the mods already completed, and is now and on/off type deal. No more patching roms and whatnot. I'm actually in there as we speak, checking to make sure I'm default to the JDM 3 bar, and check the WGDC for the Perrin EBCS.

thats a pretty sweet GTI, what are the specs?

Dan you grew up skiing? Where? we should try an hit the slopes sometime. may take a day off at the end of the month to ski blue or elk

chu i thought you sold that? there not to hard to find, found a couple being sold by vendors for around 180 i think? not necessary, but a cool piece nonetheless. what IC are you running now that made it not fit?

im looking for an 80s f250, preferably with 4 on the floor. just keeping my eyes open, nice to have something to throw all the gear (DH rig, skis etc) in the back with plenty of space.

The purple one, yes that's gone. Got the original blue one sitting in the garage. If oyu found it for $180, buy it. Thats a hell of a price. IIRC, Cusco discontinued them about a year ago...unless you have it mistaken with the front CENTER brace, which is something else.

thats a pretty sweet little ride. importing that would cost a decent chunk of change but be cool to have it here. what are the specs?

and nah im talking about the blue one. I remember you had that as well. i qas quoted 180 but that was a few months ago. since theyve been discontinued I doubt anyone still has em in stock. doesnt matter much, more of a look mean in the grill piece

a friend came across this neat side by side video of F1 cars and mixed sports/track cars passing through Eau Rouge at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, helps to really put the speed of F1 in perspective.

PRO TIP numero deuce: 265/40/17 is NOT that much more expensive than 255/40/17. Just saying....

I am literally about to freak out on everybody here at the office. If I were a manager I would be tearing ish up. I have spent the entire morning not actually accomplishing my job, but emailing and calling ignorant, unintelligent people who are causing me to have to re-do everything twice, three time.

i dont mind working hard, but doing everything over and over is effn annoying. /rant
