Lol

First off, I've got nothing to prove so no, I'm not trying to sound smart. I've already proven my knowledge and abilities to those people that I give a hell about their opinion. If you don't know what I've pulled off and your ignorance makes me sound simple, I could care less.

Secondly, I wasn't the one bad mouthing (taking a cheap shot at) a company that typically doesn't post here.

Fact of the matter is, does Ficker know the first thing about running a successful business in automotive tuning?

If not, he shouldn't be knocking on a company that does know what it takes.

It's always easy for those who never will or talk about things they know nothing about to criticize those who they do not know, or know little to nothing about.
I know enough about you to know you don't own a successful tuning business. That was what this was about...

And as far as "never will" or "know nothing about," I hope you aren't talking about my car knowledge, because you'll look like an *** on that one. But honestly, I care only slightly more then not at all. Merely enough to respond to keep the fun going. I'll need something to pass time with tomorrow at work.

ok not tryin to lead this convo in a different course but is there a place locally that sells good helmets that meet the approval ratings needed for mmp (snell 2005 i think) also what is a good reasonably priced helmit? thanks

also i know this has been brought up before with no real conclusion but if i need to get a set of 17x9.5's with 275/40/17's mounted under my fender, where would be the best place to take my car to have that done?

last thing, this is a noobish question so sorry, but if i want to switch my camber settings when i get to the track would i need camber plates and if so what camber plates work with kw variant 3's? would competition associates be a good place to go for this kinda stuff and if so what is their address as i havnt been able to get ahold of them on the phone lately?

thanks for the help...

Lol. I don't own a tuning business - never claimed to. I have a laptop, access to a dyno, and some experience. I probably responded a little heatedly, and for that I apologize. Luckily my income doesn't come from this industry, as I think its a little crowded already.

I know its hard to make it in automotive parts, unless you have something innovative, like Cobb did with the AP. Like I've always said, great Subaru parts.

I would just order a bell online. You may pay 3-400 for it, but you will not be buying it twice. Otherwise you can pick up a pyrotect for around $250. Try www.saferacer.com.

I mentioned Adam and I could help you. Vesko will probably not do it, he is uber busy.

Your kw's didnt come with camber plates? Thats weird. I would call Rallysportdirect (801.748.4910 talk to Ben) and order up some tein hats all around.

You cannot just "switch" your camber at the track. When you adjust camber it affects your toe settings. You can do it at the track, but you would have to align it after every change. Your best bet would be to find something that is liveable on the street and acceptable at the track, then just leave it. Perhaps -3* front and around -2* rear? Every car and driver is different.

Man I missed a lot. Haha.

First off, a quote of 290 is really low even. They're obviously giving you an aftermarket Lancer windshield rather than the lightweight Evo one (which comes from MMNA at a base price of about 500 last I checked).

Second, you all suck, I'm glad I'm selling the Evo! Now if only it would actually sell...

If I sell my Evo am I still invited to the COBB open house? Then I can come and chill and not even be concerned about releasing products or impressing people with my Evoness.

And last, does STC still exist then? I heard rumor that it had already died.

The benefit of buying Buschur on the 02 is that you get them from a builder that he has sourced so they should actually fit. All the "Ebay O2 housings" are not built in the same factory so they likely aren't all made the same. I bought one for $80, got it and the bolt holes had to be modified to fit. I've since hacked it up anyway for the turbo flange to build a new O2 housing.

Ok, enough Pro Buschur talk. It's making my stomach hurt.
im looking for some gauges or maybe some wheels or front mount would be nice also.

The drink, you need to stay away from photoshop. I didn't want that getting out. It was supposed to be a secret.
