I may go up to 360 today. Have to pick up the girl from the airport at 830 so Im not sure if shes going to be tired or what. Will prolly be a last minute decision. If not, Ill be there in 2 Saturdays. Hoping car will at least be "driveable" enough to get there.

one that shows no cel aka one with a cat, or u could just take it off during inspection time and bolt it back on after, its only 4 bolts + 1 o2 sensor. Cobb would bypass this but not sure if they ever look.

o got my car back ^_^

some rant against my apartment complex due to that last few events happening here.

I live at Amli @ scofield ridge

Recently my car has been broken into twice, first the loss of audio equipment a polk SR 12" sub and a polk 500.1 amp. Then the destruction of half the car with shattered rear quater window, screw driver scrape of the paint in multiple places.

Also the apartment complex had the payment box broken into. So I recieved a late payment fine. I argue this and they agree to take it off. So the next month I have a 100$ fee for late payments that was previously agreed wasnt something i had to pay. Along with having a charge for something they said would take off.

So if your looking for a apartment in Austin avoid these asses

Damn dude, thats brutal. Glad you got the car back though. Hows it look? In my experience after a car has been vandalized, it never feels right again. Kinda like if your girlfriend cheated on you, it feels used. Still working on car. Havent been out there much lately. Its ******* hot!

Damn right it's hot. Went outside to check the nitrous halo in the airbox, and just about spontaneously ignited under that hood. I would not like to be doing anything major without some shade and some big *** fans.

How far have you gotten on the install? Turbos hung now? Give us a pic or two.

yea the car isnt the same, i can tell, they had to cut away the damage material on the door and u can see the indent where they tried to pry the door open they got rid of the other marks though, the paint looks to be a perfect match unless u look at a weird angle it looks like the paint dips slightly probably where they had to sand it smooth but its smooth to the touch and looks perfect when directly looking at it


i have to take the car back to dallas to go back to the tint shop to match the tint for the window that was broken so it should be a perfect match. but gonna cost me extra to go that route.

dude i am melting here thank god i have ac, feel sorry for my friend in his fd with no ac.

Well when u get ready for a new complex, please give my wife a call as she is an apartment locator. Free to use, all you have to do is call her, pick the apartment u like the best, and fill out the application with her name as the referral. Just trying to pimp her services a little lol... The more she makes, the more I can spend on my ride.
