Damn, I was hoping for some place in Mass I hadn't heard about.. wishful thinking. I need close to home unless I want to trailer and drop which would be a *****.

I believe that is all for the performance stuff, could be missing something

I would still recommend RT Tuning for that. They got it all...

In general the people are pissed off and the work ethic is crazy. What's good about it up here?

I've been dreaming about living in GA. Specifically adjacent to Z1...

There's been a Momentum turbo setup for sale on Facebook for sometime now and it's been tempting me. These 3 semesters of college need to hurry up and get finished. I don't like the whole "accumulating debt" thing - it can stop now.

How bad was the header install? Or was it done in combo with the engine being out or something? Have heard mixed reviews.

Beware of used turbo kits. For some reason every one that goes for sale needs the turbo entirely rebuilt. Like for some reason the second they are installed they develop massive shaft play.

I got my headers installed by Pride Auto in philly. Headers are the only install i didn't want to do because I don't have a lift. He only charged me $250 and he was really easy to work with. Look him up on Facebook, his name is Darryl Josephs

Yeah, I've noticed that. This one has recently been changed over to GTX internals within the last 1k miles apparently. I'm only dreaming on this kit though since its 5000. Oh well, nice to dream.

That's not bad at all. I'd be open to that. I have access to my grandfather's pit, but even that isn't perfect since it's only 4ft deep. I'll look into them.

If you end up going to that guy, tell him I mentioned him and he might give you a better price. Really not sure if he will but its worth a shot

I had a pizza delivery guy do that once. We kind of knew eachother from a few car meets and handed me a Domino's box with "Overnight Pizza from Japan" with a little rising sun. He earned his tip that night haha

And I'm waiting to hear back from a guy regarding his Work Meister's...he's taking forever and I'm impatient

Is that a coilover suspension or just springs?

Its the basis coilover suspension... They seem pretty legit for the price... They dont lower the car much but I wasn't really looking to go low... Just wanted some new suspension to update my 12 year old pieces.

Let us know how the ride quality is. I will likely be looking for a reliable/affordable set up to replace my BC's

I'll keep you posted... They were very inexpensive, ordered from THmotorsports on Tuesday, showed up on my doorstep today... Would order from them again.

Going to be a busy spring.. Got a new exhaust, intake, cats, and undershrowd sitting in the basement awaiting warmer weather.

I've had great success at Fastrack in Peabody for my suspension dialing. Awesome set of guys.

Also for who ever asked if there were any FI guys around. I have twin gt3076 turbos on a 3.8l stroker. Had my tuning done at GTM but now I use Sean Ivey since he's the only HKS tuner that will work on a VQ in the entire north east.
