I finally have Recaros!!! So long ebay seats! I also installed the Binary lowering brackets... Lets just say I will have to get used to them. I feel very short in the car now and I'm 6' tall. I also ordered Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's in 245/40ZR17 and Bilstein HD struts with Swift Spec-R springs! Now I just need 100 more horse power and it will be right where I want it!

Those are my interpretations of the rule book, don't hold me to it. Vortico might have more insight as he's been doing this a lot longer. Make sure you say hi on the 17th, it will be nice to meet you!

The cross car under body braces that come stock are ok. And the metal diff bushings I think are SM legal as well, I know they allow metal suspension bushings for sure there. Shame you can't run the car on the 17th but we look forward to seeing you there to spectate/ride along =)

Montana is a long street. Can you be more specific?

There is supposed to be one on Soccoro and Joe Battle. A Diamond Shamrock I believe.

There is no 93 Octane fuel here in El Paso. My STi and EVO are tuned on 93 Octane and I looked everywhere. There is one station out in Clint that has a 93 Octane sticker up but its actually just 91 Octane they told me. The reason is because of the altitude the 91 Octane is supposed to act as 93 Octane due to the thinner air. I suggest you just get tuned on 91 Octane and add some meth.

It was coming off patriot freeway and turning left for about a mile or so at a RAM station, but it could be true that it's not really 93, the company would be sued for false advertising though wouldn't it??
