Cool What happens when you go back to NA?

I'm about to go from FI to NA.

Anyone else done this? What kind of letdown or disappointments should I expect?

i did this. it was TERRIBLE.

i had a hole in my block that i plugged with some plumbers fittings from home depot, i snapped a bolt in my plenum, so i covered it with a dime and threw some JB weld on it.

then i scrapped my car of everything possible,

and sold it =)

It was the most horrible thing in the world, I go back to stock, I fired the motor on, I'm like WTF and drove it straight to the dealer. My love for the car just totally dropped, I even scrapped into a pole and didn't even give a shiet AT ALL lololol. I love my g37 now puhaha
