So why don't you come with me to Texas Motorplex? I mean, if you like to be blueballed, that's up to you though. I personally like to go all the way and end with a bang.

lol @ the blue balled but I have work during the weekdays. If only it was open during the weekend/going on the weekend I would no doubt go.

it's got 20% tint all around now, but here's a pic I took right after I bought it. http://www.landreth.us/gallery/galle...?g2_itemId=827

TX people suck ***. What's the point of modding if all you're going to do is "show off" and street race?

I'm all set to go - everything is ready.

Oh.

Did you get the exhaust new or used and how much shipped (without rush)?

Do you want me to give you an honest and helpful answer or one that will embarrass you at the track?
Unless there's a significant difference either in weight or width, it doesn't matter.

New and 980 shipped. I had ordered the injen td ses but the guy was dragging his feet and I want a dual set up now. I was not a big fan the the injen look from the back and the Invidia has a stock look and nice sound.

I am going to weight them and see but I dont think it makes a big difference. As you so nicly put.

I'd just stick with the 19s - too much of a hassle, otherwise.

I wish I had the Fuji still. Any other mods you're planning on doing in the future?

What did you modify?

What are you hoping to run? I'm going to guess that you'll be around 13.3@105.

I hoping to run touch 12.6@110.

I moddifed them to prevent heat soak. I would like to beat my PB 13.4 so anything past that makes me happy. I never go there and think I am going to run some crazy numbers that way I dont hate my car

That's the opposite from me. I set a certain goal for each night and I do whatever is necessary (within "reason") to reach that goal. And I don't leave until I reach the goal. It's worked for me all this time. Plus, my car loves the occasional ****-beating it gets at the track from me.
