  1. Man... I'm deeply sorry. Like Gabo said, my cars are an extension of me, never quite done, and always slightly different. I hope you don't lose the passion for cars and can find another platform or chassis to build.
  2. If you and Gunnar ever stop modding your exteriors, i call dibs on a front end. And interior. So much envy...
  3. Skagit valley? Not a bad area to be in. I thought you were Seattle area.
  4. Chuckanut Dr is less than 20 minutes from me. Let me know next time you're up this way!
  5. I dislike that I'm just far enough north that I haven't met any of you. I'm jealous
  6. I love how you East coasters just hop about states like its no big deal. It amazes me how much closer everything seems to be over there. Hoping you get by with a new turbo and not YNANSB
  7. One of my life goals is to get as comfortable tuning and tweaking as you, and a few others on here, are. I have a lot of real mechanic experience but would never attempt this kind of stuff without help. Hats off to you man... Good shit, and thanks for the free lessons
  8. Those wheels and stance truly show off the callipygian assets of your wagon. Love that tight JDM rear

  10. Hey thanks, Shutter. I was thinking the same thing but have no real experience with this stuff, just internet research. All of my pulls are flat freeway on ramps. I will try to get a long hill pull this weekend and see if the results vary at all.
  11. Can I get a second opinion on this? 187,000 miles, all stock. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_NaUIOWVpWYp4zv6VdApxYP3Zc0Akf7q3fXO7GTsF_o/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KM1PbWG3V7uVPFgRIC5EVXMmyDv_SKCsTaL0d9nyrhg/edit?usp=sharing
  12. I just threw a set of FK450 A/S on my car. They did just fine in the snow and ice this week and seem to grip dry fairly well. Moderately quiet too. 225/40/18
  13. DAMN... Some of you guys are making me rethink my love for the sedans...
  14. I will be doing fuel, and I have ebcs. TMIC depends on which turbo I end up with. I think... My suspension and brakes have enough done to them to feel confident with 300, but theres always room for more improvement down the line
  15. I am going with an new OEM shortblock, basic reworking of heads (stock components, possibly a mild port and polish and 3 angle valves), injectors (740s?), upgraded fuel pump and stock intake. That is about as far as I can make any actual decisions at this point. I want to build for a nicely matched combo that I can DD and hit a handful of HPDEs per year. My goal would be 300whp, but reliability and good fitment are paramount to numbers. I am looking for opinions from those who have far more experience in turbos than I do. VF-52 (16G) or BNR18? I am also highly interested in going with a twin scroll set up (Flinky, I'm looking at you, man). I love early boost, but want some strong peak boost as well. Turbo lag irritates me. I've read the build threads, I've done hours of research. I just can't make a decision on this crap.
  16. So true. I'm pretty sure I'd get yelled at and punished if I went and died today...
