Thank you sir! I want to thank you for coming out to the meet that night. We actually had a strong showing of TLs! Your custom calipers looked flawless in person behind the ronjons. Good work there!

Gotta be careful between Daytona and St. Augustine. HWP likes to hang out there. Your ride is looking awesome!! Wish I could go to HIN this weekend. Good luck

Thanks! That intercooler thread is massive!...some good info in it. To give you a run down, it's now functional and i haven't had any problems with the setup since it was completed. I have no dyno numbers or statistics on it, but thats ok. When you touch the hot pipe and cold pipe, you can feel the difference, so i assume it's getting the job done.

I was doing great the entire trip running about 10mph over, and then this damn charger on 20s decided he wanted to tag along so i started going faster and faster trying to get away from him. I don't like having tagalongs on the interstate. And sure enough running about 19 over, i see the blue and red lights in the rear view mirror. I thought he was going to pull the charger over, but FAIL!! He was nice though, and reduced it to a 79 in a 70.

Thanks for the good luck, i'm gonna need it! Lots of awesome cars down here in FL.

Thanks bro! It was good seeing you out there at HIN representing as well! The valve cover will probably look good in a picture, but in person you can definitely tell it was a horrible job of painting!! hehe.

I'm sure we'll hang out again at another event sometime soon.

I just got back from HIN and I managed to check out your TL. All i can say is DAMN SON! You car is incredible. I wish I had the funds and obvious good eye for mods that you do. The pictures you post here on Azine don't do it justice. it must be seen in person. There were 2 other TL's and I think 2 CL's at the show. They all paled in comparison to your ride. Keep up the damn good work.

Thanks for the words good Sir! It seems i kept wandering off during the show to go look at the widebody time attack evo with the cf roof! What did you think of the show in general? I had a blast...lots to look at.

Oh nice! I think Ben was down in Orlando as well this past weekend with the pink civic. I guess i go everywhere he goes haha. That'll be cool if they could work something out to keep some type of event going.

Lookin forward to that Cusco Roll Cage. It's actually pretty cool how many Evo parts fit the TL with slight modifications. Can't wait to see it again soon at the next show.
