or maybe more... I don't know. Its hard to decide, I like those wheels and no one really has them around here. I wanted 18's but the only ones around that price that are decent are the enkies but everone has those. And I'm gonna decide if I am gonna try and sell my car once its running.

buy my Team Dynamics

Havent really had a meet since spring unless you count a bunch of Evo guys dropping in on some of the other meets like the one at Layton High School a few weeks ago.

People are always welcome to meet at 7 at starbucks on State and ~5400s with the S2k guys on Saturdays. There's that other meet on Thursday nights too, I think.

We'll get another meet soon... I gotta get my car back first though. The G6 (traded in the damn Grand Prix) is not quite up to par 4 really REALLY huge gears makes for an interesting car. Especially with a little 4-cyl motor w/ 0 torque and less hp. But it is much much nicer to drive than the GP. In case any of you were planning on buying a cheap Pontiac any time soon

So keep in touch, y'all. Haha, I don't even know why I said y'all. I know I was in a hurry to say it to beat Eric since I saw he was online though!

I had a 1999 Grand Prix GTP with a built motor. After blowing the Super Charger on the first run down the 1/4, I put a block off plate on it and ran it N/A. Even N/A it pulled 313 on the Dyno. Down side to that though, being FWD I couldnt get the tires to grip if I stepped on the gas. That was a plus in burnout competitions against RWD V8's but made for extremely short tire life. Even a stock GTP can pull on stock Mustang GT's and Camaro's, but yes regular GPs are as slow as old people f***

Even if it were fast. I am extremely against all the poorly built FWD cars (ones that torque steer fairly easily, the new SS, MS3, Mini-S w/ LSD and most Acuras throughout time have been the only exceptions). But yeah, the GP was slow, the G6 is even slower. But it is smaller, and sportier, and much more fun to drive (other than the lack of speed). And has a lot better features IMO. The worst thing about the GP was, even though a lot slower than my car, because of it's size it got WORSE gas mileage. Driving it exactly the same way I do my car (so getting on the gas quite a bit, but still). Seriously a whole 1.5 mpg worse than I average on my car. Which wouldn't be so bad... if my car didn't have 100 more hp. Silly American Muscle.

Hey guys, I took my evo 8 rear badging off (the uk one)
And I think the guy that put it on used super glue on a few parts. Now it is white in some areas (almost like the paint came off with it) Anyone know if there is something I can do to fix it? Or does it have to be repainted? Thanks

Honestly, it looks like its part of the paint. So i'm guessing lower than the edge of paint.
