where's pics of the coupe?

***Edit*** Poker night in Monroe this Saturday night. Start time is 7:00PM, and buy in is only $20. Very laid back group, hanging with the guys, drinking beer, playing cards. At least 2 of us will be there, possibly 3 if Minh is able to make it.
Coupe is down at Boss Innovations with its new motor that is about ready to be swapped in.

I'm suppose to be going to a Halloween party in Des Moines on Saturday, so count me out for tomorrow night.

Just got PRK Laser eye surgery yesterday..no more glasses!

get whatever short rout you want, I prefer ETS due to it being mild steel (doesn't buckle under t-bolt clamp if over tightened), and your bov choice is dependent on your boost controller, odd as that may be

bump for poker party in Monroe @ 7P 12/22. Very laid back game, so no pressure to learn or if you're worried about your skeelz. If nothing else, it is fun to go and watch "crazy tyler" blow his next paycheck!

for drivability i think the OEM valve is better than the synapse.

I don't think the improvement in horsepower is worth the sacrifice in drivability IMO.

I've had the OEM 9 valve, a crushed 9 valve, and MAF setup with Synapse, TiAL with MAF, TiAL with SD, and Synapse with SD.

The oem 9 valve drove the best and had the least amount of issues IMO when it was on MAF.

If you have SD... get a TiAL.

Cool, so I'm in but I'll have to leave before I turn into a pumpkin or I run out of buy ins, whichever happens first. The actions of Crazy Tyler may influence the latter.

^haha! just get nice and toasty before you play. Your methodical engineering mind loosened up nicely last time! One call away from being epic (for me).

Negative. That is not Justin's Evo. That is someone else. I don't know who it is.

I think they listed the BBS as an upgrade, so that also means not an MR.

they both seem decent, so it depends on taste. The WW is clean while the RR is "busy." $25k is a lot for an old car, but there seems to be a lot done, and under 30k miles. There are still cars out there with less miles; Brendan picked up a WW with 7500 miles last year I think, and skidmarq just picked one up with 8k miles.

I don't know this tinting place, but $150 via Groupon seems like a pretty good deal.

I'm sure if we got a group together to get stuff from GuardLine (and if 4g63pride could hook us up) we could get within $50 of that price, and frankly i'd much rather go to GuardLine
