7th page

if you look at my pics from the autocross, the MS kit looks awsome, but I need suspension upgrades now to keep the body roll down...

@ x-ped: upload the video to rapid share. that way we can d/l the footage, instead of having to find it on streetfire

I think I like this one the best...I see you have the itch to make another calendar Didn't realize that we had so many parked in a row with the OEM spoiler. Kinda cool.

February most likely...maybe third weekend? I have the San Bernardino meet second Saturday of Feb and then an autocross event that same weekend on Sunday at Fontana speedway.

what he was saying was that the odual and auto exe versions are near a grand...and that the AEM intake is the first available in the US that is not a grand.

I've seen one more of these. The other guy ran the AEM intake through the stock air box by trimming round holes for the pipes to fit through. This way, he was able to maintain a stock appearance, as well as keep his engine cover.

Great picts Keith.

I guess next time I should be less lazy and reduce the file sizes down instead of just scaling down from 1600x1200 to 640x480. The larger size photos are a lot more interesting to look at... I'll try to modify them when I have time I guess. Just tried to get them up there as quickly as possible- kekekeke :P

interesting mpg info:

Despite driving my car like I stole it on Saturday, I still averaged 17.1 mpg on the trip.

That's almost exactly what I get under normal driving every week .

Sorry no video is up, styed up till 1 in the morning uploading it and halfway through the upload it said I reached my limit of 150mb. I guess streetfire lowered the limit on uploading videos. The video is 358mb, I need someother way of getting it hosted. Alreadly tried rapid share, streetfire and putfile... any suggestions? I alreadly reduced the quality by 40% any more it would suck.

yah, i filled up yesterday and calc'd about 17mpg as well...

i wonder how much more mpg we'd get if we didn't have to do the warm-up/ warm-downs. flooding really doesnt' seem to be a problem for us here in so. cal. i wonder how much gas we'd save by skipping all that altogether.

any ideas?

X-Ped, I just PM'd you FTP info to my company's website. Go ahead and upload it there and post the link. As long as we dont use more than 700GB of bandwidth I think we'll be fine.

yes.....using winRAR split the file into 3 different sections making each individual section smaller than the allowable limit per allowed uploaded file to either putfile or rapid share, then give us the links for us to d/l the files. on our end all we have to do is just extract the file, and winRAR will re-compile the file for us .
