Thanks for the mention in the tags. I am honored to be mentioned in the same paragraph alongside scabby peehole, north park gloryhole and brokeback Pittsburgh

Well. Of course more issues with the tune. Somehow I was sent the wrong connectors and wiring harnesses with my ID2000's so I have to wait for them to be sent to me. So the earliest I am looking at being able to drive the car is Wednesday night or Thursday. Damnit. On top of that it has to go back in to mike for its inspection, wheel bearing and alignment as soon as I get it back.

As for the insurance comments. I would recommend that you try and get as many cars in your family under one insurer as possible. As I said before I get a discount for multi cars, student, safe driver, huge *****, sweet car, etc etc etc. So it seems the more you pile onto one insurance company the more inclined they are to give you a break. I have always been with Nationwide, and my insurance rates have never really gone up over the years and are finally starting to go down as compared to other drivers my age (23).

If it is sunny the parking lot behind lowes movie theater.

I'm assuming you mean LOEWS. I couldn't find directions to any lowes in the area.

Since I got the ID2000's I took it up to Nate @ TPG. I had heard from a few people that he really specialized in those injectors and there were a few things that I needed for him to fab up too. Fuel lines, triggers for DP setup, etc. Mike told me to give him a call after the parts portion of the build was finished, and he cut me a hell of a price, too.

I will be down at some point this season, for sure. Dyno day, and probably just get a couple pulls in to see how the dyno's compare. I have tried to get a hold of him the past week or so and no answer...

Ya he's been so busy with the start of the season approaching. I'm sure it doesn't help having steelcity and my car clogging up two bays.

I'd just stop down at the shop, that's what I usually do. he's like a mad scientist and spends all hours of the night in his lab chain smoking lol

Since we havnt heard from steelcity about the car, I'm guessing more issues came up?
What's the old saying? "to finish in first you must first finish" .

Don't flip out either, I'm just f'ing with you guys. I hope everything gets fixed soon.

Lol. No flipping out Jeremy. We're still waiting on parts to come in to be honest. I'm waiting for fp to ship my turbo and I guess dan ordered a front cover and new oil pump, but they never sent him the seal and gasket needed to do the job. Sucks


What can I say. **** will break when you start making power

It also breaks when you don't make power.
Problem with anything mechanical.

True, but not quite to the same extent. My current motor will never see 100k. A much milder build would do that no problem.

And you know what I meant smart ***
