Thanks for the hospitality, Steve. This event will be the first time the entire Black Halo crew has been able to take a trip together and I am sure it'll be fun for everyone.

hmmmm. that happened to my buddy's fc he had a boost spike and leaned out like crazy and popped his apex seal on the 101.. he had a custom turbo that was running so crazy bearings from a Porsche and yea.. no bueno he had to get a whole rebuild.. Hopefully that didn't happen to you.

I'm compiling a list of everyone's mods for Jeff to use in tuning the car.

Are any of the AP cars using Mazsport coils? If so, I need to know ASAP.
