    Haha... That's Sam's car. He's on the boards every once and a while. I drove out to Montreal with him to get it tuned (jdm ecutek). It's crazy fast and tons of fun, but it has a few issues that need to be addressed before it's a daily driver. I think a powerfc would solve a bunch of problems and you could tune it anywhere :)

    How about a new Haltech E6X? I know the reason mine was such a pain to tune was because there wasn't much support for the USDM engine but since that's the JDM engine (which is almost identical to UK models) there would be a lot more support for its tuning.

    Makes me miss my old car a bit, though I'm glad I had nowhere near the eye candy that one does. I do like a sleeper.

    Is that Michigan Tech in the background of those pics? He live up there, going to school, or was that just during LSPR?

    Yeah, he's still going to Tech.

    Here's his website, he documents pretty much everything, so you can see the life of the car on there.

    http://www.powerlabs.org/

    http://www.powerlabs.org/swappedimpreza.htm (the section on his car)

    And look at the pic of the exploding watermelon (and then look underneath it and see who took the picture ;)).

    lol. that sucks.

    got to control yourself. I didn't drive my car once i put it on the market. I left well enough alone. Its really the high load high wind resistance top end pulls that are difficult to tune for and end up popping motors a lot of the time. Things change under 150+mph of drag resistance.

    edit: did this happen last night?

    And also showing why he's bad at spelling ;)

    mackinaC

    jking :)

    And it was the city (I knew about the whole motorized vehicle thing too, they rent bikes out right where the sweet boats dock at the island, you can also get good fudge from there too).


    The reason he probably hasn't posted anything is because he's busy getting wasted in Sault Ste. Marie with his friend. Seriously.
