Very nice! I <3 Best Motoring/Hot Version. I have like 10 of the DVD's and it looks like i need to pick that one up

BTW, the car is still in the shop (put it in thursday), but im very impressed with Allan and Modified Auto Salon. They found a few small problems that most shops probably would have missed and fixed them. The car should be running better than when it went in (before the messed up clutch of course ).

Ha just took a look and in a couple of hours its already up to like 5 pages. Ever see the movie Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back? I'd be re-enacting the ending of that movie if I had some of those comments made.

Pix look good by the way, where on the North Shore did you take them, it looks familiar even from the minimal background.

Thanks man! Mine normally stays around 15-18 in. Hg. They fixed a boost leak that was right at the turbo, so we'll see what its at when i get the car back.

Your level is based on the altitude because I live in Reno there is 2 inches less of mercury. At sea level you will see the idle balance at 2 to 3 clicks more of vacuum.

I came here from GA and mine was 20in. Hg there and here (with boost leaks fixed) im at 18in. Hg all the time. This is on an 03.

Speaking of which the car drives great with the new clutch! Big ups to Allan and his crew for doing a great job and staying late (I got my car back at 11:30 last night )

if you have cams, vacuum is less at idle too.

P.S. You're girl is a hottie, congrats! I think I know her from somewhere. Reno's a small town.
