Idaho said he would help me out on the install. We are thinking Saturday at Ft. Belvoir's auto craft shop. If you or anyone else want to help or have an install day or something let me know. Phibs your help would be appreciated even though you have an STI.

It looks like the shop opens at 10 am on Saturday. Im sure we could smuggle anyone else who wants to help onto post. Also if anyone can think of a list of things I should pick up to help on the install that would be very helpful.

Just got back from PTuning a few hours ago. The wagon is sitting low baby. It looks great a feels so much better. The ride is about the same except for really sharp bumps and the nose dive when braking is just about gone. I also picked up a new white delrin kartboy shift knob and a cusco turbo heatshield from Mach V since I was already out there.

So is anyone else interested in my little install day on Saturday?

Glad to hear your liking it so far. Unfortunately, I have plans for the next three saturdays, so I'm out.

Are you just going to install the down-pipe and wait on having the cat welded in later?

Yeah. I just got a letter from Florida saying I need one more document filled out and I'll get my florida plates. So likely will stay catted unless it is really stinky.

No emmissions testing in Florida?

None. Back in 2000 they got rid of testing altogether. Oh and here are some pics with my crappy camera.

"Love the stance!"

"Beware the rub!"

may I suggest your next tire be a 215/40/17

No rubbing yet but havent gotten to spirited. I'd rather roll the fenders than go down to 215s. Well i'll just have to wait and see.

As much as I want to get back to wrenching, I have to take care of my cold. I can't mis hockey on Sunday by overdoing it Saturday.

Just kidding. Im just trying to make this a good time. Talk car shit during the install maybe get a bite to eat. Like a mini mini meet.

Last time I spoke with him, Keefe (look for him over at nasioc) had one and had used it several times. Might be worth dropping him a PM.

Thanks I sent Keefe a PM.
