There you have it guys... Lesson learned I guess: Super light hood + a little wind + shitty hood latches = one messed up Jedi Mobile.
Shitty latches made it sound like if you Bought some shitty latches.

My mistake.

LOL, no worries man...I'm just messin' with ya this morning. HAHA, I'd forgotten I'd written that!
Unfortunately it's the shitty OEM latches I was referring to... they'll be putting all new OEM ones in this week.
Body shop said it's about 30+ hours of labor to get my car back in "Jedi Showroom" condition.

Did you guys see that video of the Bugatti doing 253 mph?!
http://savemanny.blogspot.com/2007/0...veyron-to.html


I heard the first time they tired it, they couldn't hit 253!! They actually had to stop the testing while they figured out how to squeeze a few more HP out of that engine. Approximately 3 hours later, is when they filmed the video that I linked above and they actually hit the 253mph landmark! You guys will never guess how they did it, good 'ol Turbo XS exhaust to the rescue!!

By the way, the Turboxs gives cars 50WHP and if you drive with your windows up, it gives you a whapping 66WHP and +115 Torque!!

Question for everyone:
Has anyone dyno'd their car here? I know it'll only be kinnda depressing because it'll be no where near what Mazda claims but just wondering if you guys have done it yet.

I've been thinking about getting mine dyno'd just out sheer curiosity and I'm wondering if any of you guys wanna join me. Maybe a group Dyno Day?
-Danny
-Bryan
-Romoe
-Newcastle
-Wing
-Rasp
- and anyone else who I accidently left out.

You guys interested???

Im going to be Dyno tunning my car over at Yimi sport in Santa Clarita. Thats my shop where I get everything done :D

If you guys wanna do it there, i'll let Paul (the owner) know and we can have a dyno day, BBQ, and he has a projector at his shop, watch movies, have some drinks...

but as for any other place, I cant... I already told paul Id do it there.

haha!! Want me to buy you a TurboXS spoiler for your b-day?? that'll put you at 219 (+25 hp, remember)

But seriously: you guys want to do a Group Dyno Day on a Saturday or something? I think it could be fun to get some pics, share some good times, give a shoulder to cry on to whoever dyno's the lowest (that'll be ME just for saying that, watch...), etc etc
