But if you do happen to end up in traction in the hospital.... "will" one of us your car! lol jk

On a side note, I got stuck in a line of traffic behind people going on to the turnpike from an on-ramp this morning. As soon as I got cleared, I swirved into an empty lane and went from 30mph to 90 in about 2 seconds. Can I just say... I LOVE BOOST! Ok, sorry... carry on your topic about ninjas.

Yeah, for now I'm only going to use it to commute to work (5 miles) and I've already mapped out a very low traffic route to work. Luckily all the snow birds are gone and school is out of session so the roads are pretty clear for me right now. I'll be sure to stay as safe as I can though.

A man with a plan, that's awesome! Glad you're not taking the ownership too lightly.

That's cause it didn't say what KIND of *****... you gotta be more specific with some people.

And Chris, why complain about your set-up? It was cutting it at the track wasn't it? But I guess you just want constant boost? Go supercharged! It's constant without the hassles of boost lag.

Yeah thats what I've been contemplating... off the line vs. top end power and constant vs. lag... but I dont care about the lag, I still want to do the Greddy twins... eventually

My GT28rs has a quick spool, but it lacks bigger top end and holding it at a higher rpm doesn't keep the boost up. So I need a bigger turbo - hopefully I'll be getting the T3/4 next year and selling the kit I have on there now. Should make between 350-400 which is pretty damn high for my little 4 banger - not so much for a twin turbo G or Z, but for my little car, it's more than adequate and decent.


On yet another note... as always... lol. I went to my luncheon to brainstorm with some management and realty exec's at Urban Flats next door. They bought me lunch and took me on a tour of their building - WOW!!!! They have a full bar on their balcony/patio area on the top floor that stretches across the rest of the building. The bar has lights inside the countertop slab that glows at night, they have a miniture golf tee area with green, bbq, art deco lounge chairs, photo & art gallery inside and a piano. It's insane - kind of like the stuff you see on Fortune magazine or something.

I told them that I'd be back to take pics another day. They're planning a cocktail party next month and invited me to come over. I'm going to crash it, steal their liquor, roll the piano off the balcony into the pool below and run like the dickens!!!! lol

Fun times.
