I think Shinkamami still has the one she won at the Texas 8 along with a autometer boost gauge. I doubt she has a need for it now since she sold her 8.

I'm good, all I am waiting to buy really is the wideband. I would like the new PLX one but then again the prosport one would match everything else.

Ill be getting a pipe bender here soon myself... i am gonna make me a V mount.. i just relocated the battery to the trunk, and need to relocate my coolant reservior. Then measure everything and make brackets to hold the intercooler in place. The hard part is sourcing the parts at the right price!! i should start this once summer comes rolling around. even with my intercooler the way its set up right now she runs a bit cooler. esp. in stop and go traffic i was seeing temps of 225. Right now they are around no more than 207-210 at the max.

Eventually I'd like to convince bumblebeerx8 to come down and do some custom pipe work for me.

^ nice.

Also, I should mention that the Greddy instructions for cutting the undertray uprights and wheel well splash shields sucks. I plan on buying new pieces and doing it perfect the second time. the splash shields are not bad but the instructions on the uprights suck ***.

You know... I may be crazy but I dont want to use the SHON. Yeah I use fully syn 0W40 and kinda going against general convention but It is my intent to add a water injection system with a very small under 100cc injector and think that should keep out most build up.

Do it!

When we rebuild your engine we can see how much damage was done.

Ha I wont be doing an engine rebuild for a long time. It is my full intent to pull my perfectly good OEM rebuilt motor and swap it with a none rebuilt one with less then 10k on the od when I get home.

Now what I do with that OEM rebuilt motor... that will be the fun part. I have some special plans for it. Or it may just get set aside for the next poor sap who blows his engine If I decide not to play.

This is my sohn. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my sohn is useless. Without my sohn, I am useless... etc etc...


ahem...

The SOHN is a no brainer as far as I am concerned. It will be easier on your OMP, lines, injectors, and it has to be better to burn than used motor oil. The only PIA is finding an OEM quality reservoir and for that it will cost you a bit.
