status?

 

he is still in europe for a couple more days. He will be back for 1 week then off to fsu for school.

Car runs fucking great!!!
I will be stealing his tune setup for mine in my coupe.

 

im back bitches. its 3 o'clock right now but my mental clock thinks its 10 in the morning so im wide awake, even after a 26 hour travel time and 30 mins of sleep.

but besides that, the car is running great. still need a little fine tuning. i've produced some type of vacuum leak but i have a feeling the line to my guage is kinked, maybe not. my downpipe situation still sucks ass but i have brand new exhaust pieces that where waiting for me at home while i was away. 3 inch stainless elbow, downpipe and cat delete.

also the ghetto ass side mount will soon be replaced by a full front mount kit that i have here also.

 

^give me a ride or ban!!!

 

hahaha, ok. im comin down today or tomorrow to xat to get some tires changed. when theyre done, youre first in line

 

i already had a ride, go me...
