I don't even think I can buy that up here on the Island... lol I'll make sure you get the hook up though, one way or another

I have a friend from the Island with a STI bolt ons that was wondering if he came down with me on Tuesday if you could squeeze him on the dyno too?

I live 5 hours from ER and make the drive at least every 2-3 months when I'm home. Sometimes you just have to make the drive and it doesn't bother me. I would drive 15 hours if I had to, just to get to ER... I think 15 hours would be my cut off though.

trust me i did to jms but you have to keep in mind i dont see other evos daily like you do i dont see evos coming from the same shop daily like you do. So i have to read reviews and talk to alot of locals before i make my choice. Why do you think my closet kept getting bigger and bigger was looking for a good shop and 15hrs is really extreme dude

your closet kept getting bigger because you dont have a garage!

Aaron is there anyway around the rough starts when the engines hot? I start on first crank also, but when its hot/warmed up it takes about 4-5 cranks to grab.

Thanks, also if Ryosuke's car is done he said he will grab a ride down with me too but said he is not sure yet... We may end up having a party at ER. Now we just need to find some chicks

It is amazing the things we do to make sure our cars are taken care of. I'm lucky to have ER near me. I will be leaving to go to VA in Jan and I'll prob never see these guys again. Kinda sad... Remains me of when Fred left

My car does the same. Starts better cold! I think it may just be an E85 thing...

Ya it is called your closet inside your house! "climate controlled" = "wood stove"

hmmm...I'd have to look at the tune to see whats going on.

Mikey never say never. I am saving and planning a trip to hit pretty much everyone who has moved away. Free hotel for me and midget exposure for them

Yeah whats the point of spending 20k on a car if you just have someone hack it together.

Well you'll be close to Buschur lol, but I'm a firm believer in if you had your car built by someone to keep taking it to that person.
