Like Phillip said AT are still good or even better on track................. cooling issue is, air duct sits right in front RAD... so it doesnt really get cold air and also known to collect little rocks..... So, not really worth the extra $$$ for air duct..... again its only what i think, others may disagree.... (Just giving ya heads up)

OK i get now why not to get the REVI duct for track...
Damn, 4 spd AT? and you track? ****....Im actually feeling good right now! First I need some R compound tires before I even think about setting foot on the track...I would like to try it once...looks very fun...I'd need full catless exhaust, MS intake, to get some power outta my AT...

PHILLIP, what did you do to yours?

I dunno hopefully he calls me, if not ....Then imma get all the other crap i was telling you about... R3 wheels NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gave him my number and I know he has it because WED. he said he'd call me Sat when he got down here to let me know where to meet at...I know hes coming (no homo) to SPOCOM so ILL FLAME HIS *** THERE! I am frustrated because I need to know whether to take out the MONEY$$ from the bank or not because as everyone knows ATM's only let you take out $500 a day....which sucks. SO He might have to wait till monday to get his money. How I told you over the phone DOZER. I really want them because they are gunmetal and will look sexy bust most important because they are "collector" items Either way I win, Either I get R3 wheels, or I get a whole bunch of other crap.:yesnod; ITs sucks though because he never gave me his number!!!

edit: The intake guy from G DALE called me today to see if i wanted to see it in person, I told him maybe if i go out there to get my R3 wheels, if not he has to wait too..., This R3 guys is ******* up my plans!

2nd edit: I feel tired still. Immma take a nap, Ill be back on later.
