Nice shots Jason. I still think that rear shot in front of the windows is money

welcome back man.
Heh, the kid is 2 months old and things are settling down just a little bit. So i figure i'm allowed to start lurking around the forums again. i've been getting everyone's texts, thanks for all the support and comments and meet invites although i know i've been a no-show. I'm really going to try to make it to the next one.

Looks like all is still well in here. Daniel's avatar looks suspiciously like an evo X and not the 135 though...

oh, and i've also started brewing beer in the last 3 months. I made an oatmeal stout and octoberfest for the winter (didn't last long), i've got an american ale in the keggerator right now, a pilsner lager that's currently fermenting, i'm brewing a Kolsch next weekend and an IPA before the month is out. Any of you guys is welcome to the homebrew if you want to swing by You might appreciate my keggerator tap handle, it's my stock shift knob:

Dayuuummm Robert, I'm going to be moving in with you this weekend. Do you have an extra bedroom, or will I have to foot the bill for an addition?

Good use of the knob and nice work on the photo!

Any news on the next meet?

- Also, if you guys know anyone looking for an AMS GT35R, check the sig and put the word out. Once I get my exhaust quieted down and retuned, I'm going to rock the 35R until it needs to be rebuilt to hta spec, then rock it some more!

- Speaking of exhaust, have any of you dealt with RJ's on capital? I'm thinking about trying the custom dual magnaflow muffler setup to see if I can get this thing down to street levels.

I'd say the next meet will probably be the next Brier Creek meet which will be the first weekend in April.

I've never dealt with that RJ, so no help there

RJ's is pricey...hes some what of a di*k too...I went there once to get a exhaust hanger welded back on. After that I called to get a quote for having a magnaflow muffler put in place of my 3 inch high flow cat and he gave me a lot of attitude...I would suggest looking somewhere else...Shoot Justin @ Force-Fed a PM and see who he suggests...or sign up on HorsePowerJunkies.com and see who they suggest...

I did a system a couple years ago with a dual muffler setup with a magnaflow welded in the mid section and it made the car rumble great!

If RJ is the one right by Royal India on capital then I did deal with them almost 6 months ago. The guy is knowledgeable and easy to deal with but I thought it was a lil pricey....maybe cause I asked him to make me something within 2hrs of closing..lol. I had him weld a 3'' v-band flange on a piece of what I believe was 16'' long 3'' tubing (304ss) and charged me $125 for it. that included welding and the material of the tubing.
what flanges do u have on ur testpipe? is it stock alike? if it's vband then here is an option to consider (I was actually thinking about purchasing this myself!)

Damn, you guys have a pretty good crew. I need to dig up the video of me going as fast as i could in the evo and some nutjob in a sport bike blasted past me on the oncoming traffic lane in a blind turn.
