well, I know for sure the engine is fine, or else it wouldnt be done. I'm guessing they reprogrammed the PCM and replaced leading spark plugs since that's what most have had done. by the way, there's a chance I'll install the supercat this weekend so sorry if you miss a chance to hear stock cat with RB exhaust, but I get out at 2:50, get to my car about 3-3:10 if you wanna hear it. I'll be in the back lot probably facing the field.

finally got UPS to figure the problem out and get stuff done and got the package. Drove home for the weekend after I got my car from the recall work, seems fine, not much different. on the trip home I decided to be stupid and stepped on the gas in 6th gear, I slowed down when I hit 145 mph, and then thought that I shoulda taken a pic but oh well, I tired again but didnt get a chance with open road, got a pic at 130 mph though.

got the supercat installed today, sounds pretty nice. It's kinda loud but not as bad as I was thinking from what everyone else had said about it.

How much you want for that midpipe, if you do decide to sell it?

on tuesday + thursday I have class from 11-12:15 but we usually get out at like 11:45-12 then I dont have another class till 2 so I usually go grab a bite to eat or do something at my appartment for a couple hours since it's only a few minutes from campus. I get out of my 2 o'clock class at 3:15 and probably at my car by 3:30 (depends on the wait for shuttle).

btw, I got the case of premix in today. still got a bit of gas left so I'll be waiting for next fill up.
