One cannot simply say big things are coming, come back later and not feel the wrath of Yumchimichanga's ban hammer.

I was behind a GT-R on my commute one day coming up to a section where 2 lanes turn to 3, and the brave open it up to get around the timid. He pulled so fast we went from ~4 car lengths to 1/8 mile in likely less than 3 seconds, and I probably hit VTEC.

We're at a crossroads, Azine:

1. We cannot abide by this relentless teasing and no payoff for weeks
2. We cannot burn the OP at the stake for not posting pictures of stuff we're told about

So we're on the horns of an enema.

Three-word story? That was the solution to Morgan's teasing.

If you give him all this attention he will not tease you!!!

Lets say no one responded, or one person just said, "cool" for all of us in one post. Then the next time the OP wont tease!

And now every time someone leaves a comment, me included it will make someone else come in the thread to check out if OP posted or not


jk i like the tease

Now the long wait begins. I dropped her off yesterday. At least she will be in good company.




Some pics from around the shop.

A customer went off the runway at the Chicago half mile at 180 mph in the One Lap winning TSM Shop car. 2013 Black Edition GT-R. All are lucky the car didn't roll.



Some more GT-Rs

Getting plenty of them there AMS parts!

TSM is a very reputable shop when it comes to GT-R work. Before I bought anything from them they were willing to help me out with anything I needed. I considered sending my car to AMS or Switzer but I really wanted a shop within a days driving distance. TSM is 7 hours from door to door. If I have any problems after the fact, I will be able to throw it on a trailer and be there quickly.

I plan on using this car for a few half mile events with in mind that I want it to still be a weekend car. I want more that just a straight line car and hope that the setup I am getting will still be a quick responding car with as minimal lag as possible for a big turbo build.
