Just let me know if you can make it on your side and I will post how many people on my side are comin.
^^I might try to make it if that's alright. Been looking at buying an IS for a couple months and it would be nice to see some of the finer examples up close.

High Ho Silver, Away . . .

Yeah, us old guys (Silver, Camron and myself) started feeling really old when NAiL pointed out a couple of older guys and I asked him about how old they are and he said in their 30's Camron and I looked at each other and thought we must be like this . . Then again, with all the Power and Hot Cars we felt more like kids . .

NAiL, I ended dropping off my buddy and headed back, but the lot was almost empty . . . I guess you guys headed over to lil' Mexico.

Look, you don't fool us . . . happy hour was over . . unless you went in to over time . . . ok, just kidding . . ya gotta keep the dough rolling in, so we understand . . . a little anyway.

BTW, that 800HP IS was really nicely done . . . we'll need to get him and Jeff down to the 1/4 mile and see those bad boyz put it down.

We had a lil action last night in mexico last night with a few cars =D. I had to run a couple tolls since I only had a 20 and no change. I need to get my tolltag. But yea there was a lot of action we headed out about 20min after you guys left. It was fun =D. Too bad there isnt much video of it though =D. But other than that it was eventful. I still wonder whos TL that was parked in front of the shopping center though. Dunno if he is a member on here since I have never seen that car at the wed night meet before.

Ah, a picture is worth a 1000 words . . . and I saw a lot of heads turn and many with grins, myself included.

By the way, the latest weather forecast looks bleak . . . so unless something unexpected happens, it's a wash . . one more time.

After balancing 4 of my wheels I find that 3 out of 4 are bent. 2 are off and the other 1 is not bad. Good part was that the rim could get balanced out...bad part my friends shop ran out of weights lol. Well that explains my vibration issues over 80...Gay now I need to get rid of these and purchase my next set =(. Other than that they are still driveable but still sad face for me.

Man, I hate constantly working now-a-days. I've got to keep the mileage down on the car as well, so I'll be out of the meet scene for a month or so.

Also wanting to buy a new mod for under $600, but also trying to get an A-Spec kit & rims.

Uh, sorry for a random post; just very bored at home right now.

I was thinking of a port & polish, but I'm betting it ain't cheap.

Might go with a strut bar & rear sway bar.

Dunno I like the stock strut bar its actually a pretty good stock unit. It does its job pretty well. There is some cheap engine work like the basics but i dunno. You can do like the third muffler deletes and so on. Some people say they get power with that.

on your budget and what you already have in your sig... i would prob compliment you mods further with the throttle body spacer, pulley, and precat deletes... i would keep the 3rd cat or upgrade that to a hi flow cat so you can pass visual during inspection or if you get pulled over...

Yes when jeffs fenders were not messed with hhaha. Ever since he lowered it more its been a pain. At least it still kicks out 2-3 shift with a 300 or 400lb system in the back.

I've got my 3rd cat. in my garage right now for when the inspection comes in November.

I'd like the pulley, but I've heard it's a bit of a pain in the ass to install like the pre-cats. I've also heard there's 2 pulley options as well.

The pulley isnt too bad to install. The good part is that its pretty visible. I would go with the OEM sized one. Not really a fan of underdrive but thast just me.

if you don't have a system over 600-watts or plan to SC the thing, you are more than fine with the UR underdrive pulley... it will save you alot of weight and you will be amazed at how fast your engine will rev...

and the install ain't no thing that the pulley tool can't help you fix...

I'm getting my car inspected in May. I'll let everyone know if there are issues but there shouldn't be since they don't sniff or do visual inspections on the exhaust. It's all done using the ODBII wand.

I will be there as always around 9. I should be in the back lot if there are no spots. I have had underdrives in my previous setups and I didnt like it. I swapped for one when my crank pulley separated on my old car...after 3 weeks i went back to the original crank pulley since I was really unsatisfied with it. Yes it revved faster but I didnt really like how it was a bitch to pull out. The crank pulley tool I have those also. When I pulled into do inspection yesterday they didnt even do visual under the car. Most places wont. OBD2 as long as no CEL you are pretty much set. All they do is check your basic safety features thats about it and if your brakes tires blah blah blah are in check the easy stuff.
