Emad, I'm bummed you aren't going to be there...but I'm glad your G will be back on the road. I'm thinking of hitting TMS the following weekend for an AutoX on the 15th.

If you want to do it let's talk.....nobody did the Oct. 1 event except for Gavin....so he won...again ! lol

Maybe Adam will up for it since he just got a DB GT Z with a six speed ! I wonder if the clutch will slow him down since he's used to an auto.

Let's do this one on the 15th !

As for the Fortune Autos, I did look into them when I was researching coils and was convinced by their marketing but I just didn't think there was enough support or evidence to back up their products just yet.
I'm almost positive they do. I know fortune has their dyno sheets posted on their website. I remember seeing someone that had his dynoed and from what I remember they looked good.

Cant make the 15 th either. This work is getting in the way of fun.

I am off on sun 23 and I am planning to do the PCA time trial. So if anyone else is game come and join me.


Adam car is looking nice. We should have a nice fleet of DB's if we can just all get to the same meet.

I'm just biased to the M badge lol. Ever since my buddy got his E36 a few years ago I've learned to love them. Also, I can't stand the isf. It just seems to me to really be the worst car in it's class but if I remember correctly it's also one of the cheapest. The transmission irritates the Pisa out of me as well. 8 gears is too much for that car. From the reviews I've seen many people have complained that it seems like the car can never really make up it's mind on which gear it wants to be in.
