I'm dying to go back to dkc. They have half off prices on monday so $15 per 10 minute race session if anyone wants to go. If not I got Gran Turismo 5 last night so I'm set for entertainment for a while lol. No work again this week so I'm job hunting again. Found one job that seems to be interested in hiring me but it seems like the are trying to jip me a bit on pay compared to what they offered a friend of mine and they are based out of carrolton so it is a bit of a drive for me but we will see what happens with it. I just need to start making money again. My job has been great when we've had work and I've made pretty good money but when there's no work, there's no money unfortunately. Honestly this job even at the pay they are offering would be worth it barely if they offered decent benefits but I dont know if they do yet or not. They just called me back while I was typing this and the manager is interested in talking to me. I'm gonna try to get a bit more money from the manager when I speak to him/her. Wish me luck.
Good luck Patrick.

Gran turismo 5 is amazing...don't even try and play it with a controller lol just about impossible. My ps3 is a dedicated gt5 machine, have the driving force GT kit

Just posted on FB for the Autocross on the 28 of July with BMW. So keep the date open if your needing to fix the racing itch. Hollingsworth normally posts of an event in the race section so stay tuned.

I want to get a driving controller but I just never wanted to spend the money. It would be awesome since I have my OEM drivers seat at the house too lol

Found mine on craigslist for 30 bucks, i cleaned it thoroughly but i saved a ton lol...keep the traction control on using the controller, the guys in the online mode are pros

Completely different hard pipe between the 2. Travis you might not need it at all. Since that is that expensive i would put in a lower tstat and or bigger radiator if you want more cooling. I already have both so this is the next step. Remember my twins generate more

Lol
I haven't looked into it but it might be because that part is designed and manufactured by gtm. All the parts
I ordered are factory nissan parts

hey yall remember my smoke smell in my apt, think i figured out where it is coming from. when i moved in and mounted tv to the wall i cut 2 tennis ball size holes in the wall to run wires through (apt gonna charge the hell out of me when i move) well i put tape over the holes but think that may be it may be seeping in around that. i need some suggestions on how to seal a little better, i thought about that expandable foam but that would be messy and get all over my wires.. another thought is like stretch and staple rubber over the hole.
on a car note, i went to discount tire and they dont have the V12 in 275/40 in stocck, they have to order from Hankook.. frustration

nice Subie - Congrats - 
here is the gymkhana 5 - looks like my every day commute, some fun stuff just the same - i'm assuming this is what autocross is like -

i can't play any driving games without a wheel - it seems pointless with a controller -
