just go to this link, type in your zip and it will show you all the gas stations in your area.
I am staying in Washington right now, my wife and I are going to start looking next week but some where closer to pitt. My shop is in Washington though so it cant be too far.

I know a guy down by the corner on the south side. If you want, PM me and I'll give you the code. You knock the door 4 times and give the code. If he doesn't think your a cop he'll let you in and you can buy all the stuff you want. I promise, its the finest.

I have HKS 272's with cam gears. I like them however they will be replaced with Kelfords sooner or later for more powaaa. Car has a nasty lope plus the Buschur Bullet exhaust and test pipe makes it a bit nastier. Before when I was on stock turbo I liked them alot and they made good power but with the big turbo I'm ready for a bigger cam.

But so far after 171,000 miles I can't complain they work fairly well at opening the valves. This is especially true compared to not having cams where the valves don't open nearly as good.

you DSM guys are some angry *****'s.

I have a ****ing piece of **** evo too.

I'm a little bit angry after seeing a 4 page thread dedicated to someone who can't do a boost leak test. Where I come from we'd take a person like that out back and shoot them but now they have their god dammed unions............

So I corner balanced my car this weekend and figured I would post my results for review. This was my first time balancing a street car so any feed back would be appreciated. The hardest part was getting the height even while keeping the 50% cross. The car feels much better, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

height-
95 98
103 107

weight
1053 1008
842 806

front to rear 56/44
cross 50/50
left to right 51/49

Look at my sig before and after and look at my mods. As for attracting water it does not stay in your tank long enough to. And my car started with e85 at 10deg with no problem.

Yes this is a X, with me in the car. The gas was a little over 1/2 tank.

Apparently crash-worthiness, among other things, comes at a price? haha
