Installing spacers today!

Yip, in a couple hours me and my friend are gonna be installing MD's 5/16" iso thermal spacers! Can't wait!!

However, plans for any other modifications have been stopped in their tracks, as I'll be putting that $$ into a trip to Michigan to see a friend who is ready to commit suicide, and that trip's gonna be ****ing EXPENSIVE!

Talk to the airline booking agent. You might be able to get a discount due to the circumstances.

Ya, I've been looking at travelocity.com (cheapest I've been able to find outta these discount companies) Just over $1K for 2 adults - airfare (United), hotel (regular room - 2 double beds) and a compact rental from Avis. Ugg.

Well, it's done... AND!

Well, it's been raining for most of the day, so I wasn't able to really test it out until about 20 minutes ago while heading home from Taco Del Mar and found a dry stretch... slowed down to about 20 in 2nd gear and floored it. I notice a LITTLE difference in sound - a little louder and more aggressive - but nothing much. Though I think I woulda noticed it more if I didn't have Stillen intake as well as exhaust. As for the power, a slight change, a little more pull non the 5AT non-revup (03 sedan)... but that was once. Hopefully tomorrow the streets will be dry so I can really see what kind of effect it'll have!
