That's annoying. I was worried about being able to make the state meet because of a trip that was already being planned till I realized the meet was early may, not june. More annoyingly, it's just as finals start. I think my finals are later in the week though, so it might/hopefully wont be an issue.

Yep she is driving it once a week. BTW it is the Central Florda Shoe Horn.

So Funny story: The other day while driving my 2009 Nissan Altama 2.5s on post I pulled up to a Stryker combat vehicle at a stop light. I look up from my well bolstered driving seat at the Stryker vehicle commander and gave him a courteous nod. The commander looks down and me and the guy gave me two nods...... IT WAS ON~! I slipped the gear selector lever from auto to manual mode and waited for the light to turn greeeen. All the sudden I hear a loud roar next to me and the Stryker got a jump on me just as the light turned. I Gunned her hard and ended up pulling on the Stryker it was SWEET I smoked him like sausage.

I may have posted this before but they have some good deals if you need OEM stuff. You have to call them for anything specific though, they have complete parts cars.

So, it was one of those nights. Girlfriend is visiting family, have plans with some friends tomorrow and others were busy. I literally did nothing but go to class. So I decided to go for a drive and have some fun.

I saw a grey 8 going down bandera when I was toying around with a pontiac (sunfire I think?) with a loud *** exhaust (ok, not as loud as mine). After that, I was having a bit of fun on 10. Ran through 3rd gear and shifted to 4th. I let off at about 110 and noticed a HUGE flash behind me followed by ridiculously loud backfire.

I need to do that again with someone recording it.

I have a used set I could sell you they are still good... they came off my wife's LY. I changed her coils and plugs because of a loss of power issue which turned out the engine was bad and then replaced under warranty...LMK

first owner or was it used? If the coils haven't been changed, then that's probably the issue.

Hit up Paul at www.mazmart.com for the parts, he has the best prices and best service. If you need help with the install let me know, you can come by and we can knock it out (weather permitting of course).
