Just stopping in to stir up flack. USAF Stationed in Glorious Nippon for 3 years now, just sold FD #3 last week and dropped the money down on an '09 Aurora Blue R3 in Austin. Landing in San An around the beginning of April to househunt. Looking to meet up with everyone after that. Picked up a set of RE30 18x9.5j RE30's in Hyper Bronze here and jumped on the Powertrix coilover group buy yesterday. Hoping to hear from one of the forum vendors regarding Seibon Carbon this week as well. Was really bent on getting into Auto-X, but decided I wanted to change too many things with the car to stay in a competetive class. How many Mil-Spec people/total members in the SARX*M area?

So, I guess a few questions about the area... Any good spots near-ish the base to live? (sub 30mins) Looking at a budget around 1K a month for rent (was on the fence about buying a house instead). Not sure of the areas as far as crime/theft etc. Looking hard for a place with a 1+ car garage. I guess gated communities are popular? I'd love any info of good places, or at least places to avoid. You can only rely on websearches for house/apartment listings to a certain degree. Thanks!

Heading to good ol' Lackland, I was looking at a place in Leon Valley the other day with similar numbers. Quite a few places near the Medical Center look nice. I guess I'll keep my eye out in that area, a two car garage would be awesome. Thanks for the heads up 9k.

I like the med center the best but if I had to commute to Lackland everyday I would look into1604 and Patranco or 1604 and Babcock.
I will most likely work at a few different basses and the med center is for the most part smack dab in the middle.

For what it costs, it made a huge difference to me. The shifts were shorter and more certain. With the stock shifter, I had an issue with 2nd gear having a "wall" in front of it coming out of first from time to time. As soon as I installed the AFE, that went away. The issue was there again when I reverted back to stock. That was definitely a benefit to me.
I can't really think of anything that offers that much of a value. Maybe an exhaust component if you're really focused on sound or something. The AFE was definitely one of the more significant mods I made.
