zand02max; I got it from mynismo.com, I believe they are on sale for $835, which is an amazing deal considering the quality and awesomeness of the setup. I did the install myself, it is an extremely easy install if you know what you are doing...however if you are talking about the intake...its was a major PITA to get the tubes lined up, but still easy. The combo makes an awesome sound, not too loud but definately gets noticed...everyone whos ridden in my car (even ppl who could care less about cars) have commented on how great it looks/sounds...I'm probably going to replace the intake with some form of forced induction; currently looking at the APS TT kit, Vortech, GReddy, and procharger, might spend all of my extra cash on a Ducati 748 or Yamaha R6...for when I transfer to phili next year.

Reggi; Go for it! and that suprisingly was my Sony DSC-S85, not a very popular camera and a little out dated, but works fine, thinking about upgrading to a Nikon SLR soon...

THanks!

If only I can convince the wife.

Hmmmm, goes something like this.

Honey, I know what I want for xmas.

Whats that dear?

Ah nothing much, really low tone, how about I replace my exhaust on the Z.

WTF for, whats wrong with your exhaust now. BLAH BLAH BLAH. I hear it for the next 4 days.

But here is where I get what I want.

My wife collects lladros. If you guys dont what they are, they are porcelain pieces hand made in Spain that cost a fortune.

She has like 45 pieces, she has 10 expensive ones, one going for $4400.00, yes I typed it right, 4.4 G's..\

http://store.yahoo.com/lladrostore/l01870.html

Here one she has for $1980, we paid $1100 overseas back in 1994.

http://store.yahoo.com/lladrostore/l01454.html

Last one, I think its the most expensive piece, at $28K, price of a 350Z for crying out loud.

http://store.yahoo.com/lladrostore/l01785.html

heres the most expensive at $36K

http://store.yahoo.com/lladrostore/l01888.html.

BTW, my wife does not own the last 2. no way not ever, unless we win the damn lottery.




And no I am not BS'ing, the wife has over $40K in lladros, I can post pics of them in my house if you like

The praying mantis is a great mod for anyone whose considering....it adds a little more HP then the APS twin-turbo kit so you will probably need forged internals...

And back to the llamas or lladros or whatever those things were...whos up for raiding the store...or highjacking a shipment...we can get some of our SB drivers after the trucks with green neon and grapling hooks...
