yup!!! the discounts on here from vendors are better then any other deal I have ever found... start working with one vendor for enough stuff you will get even more discounts. And allot of the vendors will price match/beat too if you have one that you prefer

and good job on the wifey

I wasn't sure but that's what I thought. Not too many people around here from Laos. One thing that's weird is the main guy working the kitchen at Joss Sushi house is from Laos.

Go over to the GF thread and post up more. lol

My wife makes the drive to NVA everday for work. It's about 20-25 minutes from Franks.

Franks a good guy but how come you're not going to Function Tuned? seems like a better choice based on your location? I've used Function Tuned in the past with great experience however its a bit far for me so I'm thinking about taking my car to franks in the future. Both good shops, location location location......

i didnt know about function tuned when i went. But i've dealt with Frank over the phone a few times concerning my maxima and has always been helpful. His prices are very awesome and the welcome they give makes ya feel right at home.

I dont mind taking the drive since he treats me so well

Both guys are stand up guys and have worked together on projects in the past. Function Tuned is in Sterling I believe? I could be wrong, it's right off the toll road.

Enjoy your Z and don't wait too long to turbo it. Keeping up in the Mid A isn't easy =)

"He went on about performance mods and how the stock intake is good just replace with K&N filter ect... then said i COULD do that, but if i changed the cats to high flow cats or like double resonated Test pipes and a nice aftermarket exhaust along with the 5/16th spacers...get a nice tune or reflash and it helps nicely with the hp?"

^^ I have a 5/16th spacer, an HKS exhaust, JWTPC. Would getting a tune really do anything if I'm NA? Or would this be a waste of time/money?
