  1. look at the SBD packages---very cost effective, and good, quality parts. intakes/downpipes/midpipe/fuel injectors/ecutek tune. you'll hear those turbos and wake the car up bigtime. nothing more pleasing then taking off from a light and hitting 60mph in 3 seconds flat. :fuckyeah: as soon as you mess around with more than that, the price to play spikes exponentially--if that's your pleasure, then look at the big name companies
  2. 13's have gotten into the 10's stock, with some regularity. The 13's have a slightly improved turbo inlet piping. Just a tune will hit 10's all day. With my set up, I should be able to hit easy mid 10's with the e85 tune, and some stickier rear tires, and the improved launch control software. I ran a pair of 10.81's on my first and only time out with the car last summer with my boltons. Weather was so-so, I didn't use the correct suspension setting, and I had to drive through the water box. Couldn't get the water off the tires all the way and I lost traction at the top of first every time. Still, had all five runs in the 10's, and I'm on a 91 octane tune
  3. Congrats. I've owned mine for a year and 8k miles, and I have zero regrets. Yes, the car is quiet when stock, and you have no idea how fast you're going until you look at the dash I run mine all winter. Bought a set of oem '10 wheels for $1k and 500 mile blizzaks for $800. The car does very well in light snow, and ice. I have very light boltons. Intake piping, injectors, pumps, down pipes, mid pipe. I run cats and a resonator on the mid pipe. Definitely much better sound, but I can still drive on the freeway longer distances with no drone. I have the sbd kit. Check out gtrlife.com forum for tons of info These cars turn heads, which is cool and annoying at the same time Congrats. Get ready for 10's.
  4. Any comment on the release date? Pretty much all I need to know at this point
  5. For sale, lightly used 8k mile h/c/I c6z
  6. i'm excited. i'll take mine in gray or blue
  7. wait until you've been at the job for 1-2 years before you get nice stuff. as stated, buy the 309 piece craftsman set and augment it with tools as needed from harbor freight. you won't know immediately if you can make a career out of this job---trust me, it takes 1-2 years minimum to get the true feel for what a certain career entails. plenty of people buy a $10k box, and $30k in tools, and end up selling it all for $15k two years later when they get out of it, for whatever reason.
  8. I like to sit in my garage and do that from time to time
  9. Usually dress as the hamburglar for situations like this. :fuckyeah: Funny thing, I'm at a conference in Orlando with the family as we speak. Kids get makeovers tomorrow at the magic kingdom and I have a 'business' dinner later that night. I'm going to dinner with some product design people from an orthopedic implant company. Trying to decide what type of pirate I want to get 'made over' as, when my boy and I go to the park.
  10. My inspection routine: 1) Take car onto freeway at 70mph and jam on the brakes. Repeat five times. Any brake fade and the deal is off 2) Get car up to 70 mph and take hands off steering wheel for 1/4 mile on a straight section of road. If the car goes off the road and smashes into something, obviously, the deal is off 3) With the car in park put the gas pedal to the floor for five seconds. If the motor blows, the deal is off.
  11. Headed to Disney. All the pics are at home on my desktop. Picture missing/mangled fingers and thumbs. Tablesaws, and sliding miter/radial saws. Too many degrees of freedom with the sliding miter saws. And it's always an experienced user. Complacency
  12. I won't go until I can enter a car. Told my wife I want to go next year
  13. +1 The sliding miter saws are dangerous. Ask me how I know
  14. would be pretty sweet to get two BCS bowl wins for the BIG10, and have a winning bowl record overall. iowa is going to get run through, by LSU. nebraska/georgia looks tough as well. all others could go either way.
  15. Read the whole thread on yb. Impressive. Good luck with the build
  16. Should have been running Hyde up the gut on the third/fourth down plays. Total mistake by off coordinator. We didn't deserve to win that one. Sucks, but I'm sick of going to the nc game and getting blown out--and that is exactly what would have happened
  17. i have room, although i might not have as much room in a month or two :fuckyeah:
  18. Can't wait to get my hands on one. Also heard rumors of a twin clutch trans
  19. iPad mini. I haven't used a desktop in over a year
  20. This. Borland is an animal. He is better than shazier, period. Simple as that. Shazier is good, no doubt
  21. +1 even worse than being pissed at his ex, if you ask me.
