Why can't you believe he is selling it? He only bought it to do a little work on it, and sell it again to make a little cash...

Are we talking about the same person here? James?

Anyways, there is a kid selling a 1g AWD for cheap on NEDSM. Needs a little work I think but the price is good.

yeah i mean if it has to come down to it. Let me know. Maybe we can figure something out. I really dont care what i run for winter wheels so if you want to sell the 5Zigens and just buy me a cheap set of wheels i dont really care.

I would definitely still benefit A LOT tho from a tune. Just leaning this pig out would be amazing.
I have read that even the added hp from teh EcuTek tune (avg 50whp/50wtq) does make the car feel even more amazing to drive. I also heard that there may be upgraded clutch paks in the works to support higher tq at the transmission. That seems to be the limiting factor as of now. Seems as though once the upgraded paks are in the market, and the TCM can be sorted out to eliminate the throttle from being backed off at low/mid rpm's (>4199rpm), under WOT 4200+ seems to not be effected, then the big mods should have very little limits, and HP numbers should be on par with the 5 speed GSR's. This is if I read the posts correctly from the few tuners who posted up in that section.

I'm not so sure that the clutch paks are as close as you think :/
When they are available however... good times will be had

I was thinking more along the lines of either Dunlop Winter Sport 3Ds or Blizzaks

It's not looking good. I've been having to work late and unless I can get out early on Friday, I don't think I want to endure the stupid amounts of people that show on Friday. Then again, I have a domestic car now, so maybe I'll get more than one run....I still haven't gotten around to installing my headers either. *sigh*

There is a Chevy day coming up one weekend. I think I'd be more inclined to go then. We'll see though. If Friday looks like it might be a light day, I may go.
