That stuff will put some hair on your chest.

And then you spill it, and it will take it right off.

Something F&F, but no context. No matter, I took the line and went another direction widdit. You should know my smartazz by now. And, it gave a reason to show a pic of a Grilled Ahi we had a couple weeks ago. Oh, wow. At first, "Uhhhh", took a bite, "Ohhhh".

Yeah, yeah, but in my defense, I did encourage US to go back to the original topic. But then, it's Friday so I turned around and got flippant.

I actually started to write a treatise on MY mod methods with prioritized steps and reasons why. Got very long and I got bored. I'll finish it at some point, may be helpful for those just starting out (and aren't old like you-know-who.)

OK, back to the original topic shall we, gents and ladies?

PS/Edit: Trav, don't be handing out my address! It's already on too many bathroom walls.

I had Jesse, run a little background check on you, Mr. MicVelo. He can find anything on the web, anything about anyone. So, why bullplop?

OP start with a cool air intake, Nos fogger system, T4 turbo Dominic, aic controller, direct port nitrous injection, and a standalone fuel management system. Not a bad way to spend $10,000 dollars.

dont worry, im clueless when it comes to cars but im doing constant research to try to figure out what parts first, so im not that dumb lol.

car is in the shop. I told the shop to check it out, but i noticed when i put the license plate on, that there was a thick layer of material under the metal of the rear bumper (just under the outside layer of the car), that was loose and i could flap around with my fingers. But im sure the shop will tell me something. Im not done researching, but if anyone has recommendations on best control/camber arms lmk. I think im going with fdfraceshop actually, but some of the parts on there idk if i should even get or what it does, they have alot of cool parts on there. I may go ahead and reach out to them and build a list, even though im not purchasing for 3 to 10 weeks lol hopefully i can squeeze it in around 3 weeks. I just have to be careful with loan.

I read somewhere on here that its more valuable to blueprint your engine than most bolt ons. Then I looked up how much that costs, and its like just as much as getting a low mileage used engine.
