I'll be getting the GT spec rear braces pretty soon(probably get them powder coated red though), and I've also been contemplating getting the hotchkis sways as well.

lol was going to say it but knew you would for me , on a serious note tho if its still under warranty take it in. If not well it could be a couple things but I'm guessing it has something to do with you're auto transmission that's causing a delay

Im not really familiar... but any help would be nice. Also when I put it in reverse and i push the gas to reverse it is also laggy and when I floor it the rpms go up but the engine doesnt kick it until like 1-2 sec. later...

any ideas?

BTW, the movie was good. I really liked it. There were some scary parts for Brandon, but overall he liked it.

LOL Greg!

Tara told me I should probably get mine ready, too. All I need to do is order those rotors and pads. Still need a Z emblem for the front bumper.

Bought the Wii USB adapter for internet today. Now all I need is that cable. Also bought a new PSU which I thought was going into the boys' PC, but I took it. Damn, there were a ton of cables coming out of it, 50% of which I didn't even have to use. WTF

LOL.... had to call the fire dept last night. The CO alarm in my house went off, so we had to roust the kids and take them outside. Everyone was sitting in the van (including the dogs) waiting for the all clear. Apparently, I have an old monitor and need to replace it. Gotta buy a few today.
