had a great time...especially meeting some new Z fanatics!

couldn't get the Audi 2.7 Turbo to run faster then 15.5...of course its a steptronic...and it weighs a lot...and then again so do I! There is a ecu reflash that adds 70hp & 100tq to my crank, but haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or just trade for a Z33/G35.

We'll have to do another one in April or so before it gets hot outside.

Later,

Zizzle

I am down with install some of the bolt on parts myself to save a little money and also if you guys know of any web sites that are a litttle cheeper let me know.
theses guys know that i am a newbie adn they charged me 300 bucks to install 2 front brakpads and a new shifter and also another 200 bucks to install stock spark plugs these guys have gotten fat enough off of my wallett.
I got respect for their talent but not their over pricing..
so if you guys are in the houston area and want to lend a hand let me know!!!

Those prices are ok including parts but not without. That is why you need to learn to do that stuff yourself or at least ask for some help from some of the guys on this board that live close or are willing to work for beer and pizza.
