Did you, "get er done" if you know what I mean?

My install on my G Sedan cost me $0. My Subi bud, and I, installed it ourselves. It took about an hour to do. More or less. Before and after, I took my sedan to Engine Logics for dyno runs.

Nothing costs $0 unless your time is worth nothing.

Thankfully I had the resources to have it done by professionals while I lounged in the air conditioning, read "auto-****" and got to know the great people at SGP and plan my next mods and tuning.

I am very much looking forward to going back. They will be doing ALL the work on my Z from this day forward.

Sorry bud but, my WRX STi bud and myself installed it without a problem. I think I was nice and bought him some mexican food, so, it cost me under $10.00.

I didn't infer that you had a "problem." Time is money. I don't know what your time is worth, but I'm sure it is not zero. The inch-pound torque wrench alone is worth over a hundred.

On the other hand, I had a "problem" of having only one arm right now due to a dislocated shoulder, so I was lucky to have the luxury of SGP as a resource, and I was so pleased with their work, their shop, and their staff, that I look forward to going back for more.

The timing could not have been better and I could not be more pleased. Mark rolled out the red carpet for me (took me along on a test-drive of one of their 1000hp creations) and I had a blast. I'm glad I didn't miss out on this opportunity, and just wanted to say "thanks" to those who extended offers of help and to the fine staff of SGP.

While I'm sure you had a blast installing yours, I'm quite certain that I had even more fun at SGP.

I missed a catered BBQ pool party with kegs to spend my Saturday at SGP. Best decision I've made this year, and I probably had more fun! Honestly, it was a blast to be around that crew and those cars for an afternoon. I can't wait to go back and finish my next level of mods.
Dude, you are more than welcome. I am always cool with talking Z-stuff...is my passion as well (as you and I talked about...especially being on my 5th Z in 20 years). BUT, missing a free BBQ and KEG on a beautiful weekend afternoon in Houston??? HMMM, dude, get your priorities straight bubba....ROFL. Just kidding.

Id love to hook up with a few passionate guys with their modded rides just to get a true look at exhausts, FI/TT, whatever....up front and in person is no doubt the best way to go...and enjoy a cold beverage or two while hanging out. I keep reading about the HPD runs, but seems not too many Z's participate.

Ciao.
