    It's all stock in every aspect that (in my opinion) makes things better. I did all the upgrades that improve drivability and reliability. Gotta keep these things COOL or they'll overheat and kill themselves. Proper tuning is necessary to keep boost in check and to keep them from running lean. Basically, a TON of stuff that you really can't see but makes the world of difference with how the car FEELS and drives. My whole goal with the car was to get back to the "just rolled off the New Car Lot" feel with more power and control. Already exceeded those goals. :)

    well the 1 tire fire was fun in the ice. pretty nerve wrecking when people would come close to stopping because i knew if i stopped i'd be stuck again. shovel and cat litter came in handy though for getting out of my neighborhood since the whole entire street was one giant solid slab of ice..

    I think snow chains would be in order with 1 or 2 tire fire.

    Hey Oury, you ever hit a deer with that bumper? I like that style, but wondering if it would stand up to a small hill country deer?

    From the looks of it, I'd say I'm somewhere over Kansas. Headed to Wisconsin. Enjoy your warm weather. It's 8 up there right now!

    $1350ish otd. I found it for $1079 on cyberweld.com but id rather support my local welding store and if anything goes wrong with it they might be more willing to help me out. Good to establish a relationship with them I think. I should get it on Friday. If you want to come play with you are more than welcome too. I need to get a generator also. And rig my garage for 220v. It'll run on 115 so its all good for now
