I think Tephra is getting ready to release V6 for testing....boost control is going to be even better!!

If you & Wes want I can also post my mods xml with all the patch tables in it to go along with the other files I posted.

Wow, quite the mix of cars at snowcross it looks like.

Anyway, thanks to Mike (Euclid) for letting me test out his car in the pouring rain on Saturday. I have to say as far as everything goes new STi > Evo X for sure. The shifter feels amazing, the clutch is great, the 2.5l engine is much smoother but still has the kick of a turbo'd car. The ride comfort is about the same as the X but it seems a lot less noisy inside. The shifter I think was my favorite part. Plus, stars will always be better than diamonds.

They'll surprise you. I for one can totally tell that the X and the STi weigh more than the old Evo, and way more than the Porsche, but they still feel very nimble.

Saw a black GTR getting off I-80 on 13th the other day (few days back). Good looking cars for sure... sad people are still being suckered into paying so much over MSRP for em though.

Also saw a silver IX headed south on I-215 kinda by the E-center area (I think) on my way north to work.... Looked super clean, but made me cry they had the front plate on the car

Hmm V6 release huh You posted up the xml's but no rom/bin How about I just send you my map now and you help me get on that edm rom with the tephra patch etc. That would be sweet

I want to go to ecu boost control but only way I could do it right now is using the 3way mac valve and go by load because I don't have a jdm etc. map sensor

If it is the same guy with an R35 that many of have met, I did not get a very good impression of him (I am being nice).

Dallin, pm sent. I will have to check on that law and get the code for it and desseminate it through my unit so people no longer get tickets for it.

Yeah, they planned to get rid of that law back in the summer so cops stopped giving tickets for it around then anyway. Then the law went into effect on Dec 26th. I HATE how people still have front plates on cars that look much better without them (Evo, for example). I took the plates off of like 5 of my friends' cars when they'd be over at my house You should find the exact law (or note of there not being the law anymroe) for us Ryan and post it on here so I have proof for people who don't believe me.

South Coast can't do much better for me, and since taxes are higher and I wouldn't save on tax like I would trading in the car here, it ends up hurting more than one would here at the lower value.... Found a red STi at the Denver, CO CarMax location that has 11000 miles on it for less than all the others I've found so far. I think I'll go today and see what CarMax can do for my car... Wish me luck!

I hate not being able to see pics while i am at work, and I havent had time lately to get on here at home.

I never ran front tags either...it detracts from the front asthetics of cars, especially sports cars that require ugly, bulky brackets.

wtf that isn't cool...trade someone I don't see why ppl get cf ones anyway the oem hood is so light and if you were dragging the car and really needed to shed some weight that's when you cut the webbing out and have a super light weight hood you gotta be careful with it though
