For those who do not know what is going on - link at the bottom of the page

I don't know what to say about this :-(

Passenger side lower IC pipe was modified and had air leaks at the bad welds.

Part was repaired at a very reputable place

Once again - why did my car leave Texas?!!

So when are you going to chip your Turbo, Sir? :-P - S4MadManTroLL 2003-08-03 00:30:36 (41 views)

no... - Turboladyh8TTr 2003-08-03 11:10:43 (64 views)

Sir, mid low to mid 12s is not fast for me. Low to mid 11s is fast for me...on the street. :-P - S4MadManTroLL 2003-08-03 15:46:38 (32 views)

After my Alamo intercooler install and wideband tuning, my VR4 is in the mid/high 11's - Innovator 2003-08-03 15:49:17 (61 views)

That's almost fast enough for me...in the winter I'm sure it will be. :-) - S4MadManTroLL 2003-08-03 15:55:56 (40 views)

It's always much faster in the winter. With the larger ICs, I may soil myself :-) - Innovator 2003-08-03 16:06:05 (52 views)

LOL!!! I wouldn't soil myself unless it was in the mid 10s. Now that's really FAST for the street. - S4MadManTroLL 2003-08-03 18:32:48 (47 views)
