So yeah I have a few things here and there No body mods yet, focusing my money on gofast and handeling.

 

forgot to ask, are you fully tuned mike?

 

that's some crazy mod list you got there. you probably have the fastest z on oahu.

 

Nope, sure not. It leans out real bad past 4000. So Im shifting at 3000


Not yet but thats the plan. I need WAY more tire though to handle the power Im gonna be puting down.

 

250 ON THE TRIPOMETER!!!! 1/4 the way through break in! Gotta change the oil soon.

 

WOW....BOUT TIME EH!!! CONGRATS BRO. READY TO SHOW HER NOW?

 

dont know if you still have that dent in the rear bumper, but here is a silver one for 200
http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/pts/356588646.html

 

For less than 2 I can fix the one I have. If I spend more than 3 I might as well get a kit.

As for show, well they have to be happy with where its at because Im not doing any thing with the body until the performance is done.

 

Nice!

I finally got my Turbo back too so I can tune to 500 whenever I want but I think I may wait till I get back to Georgia to finish in January.

 

so wats the status? broken in already? hows the tune?

 

Should be a blast once you open it up.
