^^LOL....sarcasim...beats killing people....lol.

Thanks man. I noticed you had an 07, ZPI has an 07 in shop that they are R&D'ing, so they will have your year squared away very soon. Don't want to wait till then, then just take some time off from your busy day and swing on over to KY, and Kenny will square that rig away nice and tight for you.

Right on. So, You may not know the answer to this, but, will the '07 kit be more expensive than the price ZPI is currently offering on the 05-06 kit?


Oh, and by the way, keep those vids comin. Impressive display of tCtC.

i bet you didn't hit 165 at the track.... and you're scorning travis for "street" racing. let's not double standard eachother as you boys tend to do!
I'm not going to bother with details but it seems like you guys like poking at us so whatever... The I never personally said anything to Travis. Paul did. I do not agree with street racing either, and that was a while ago (Over 2 years). Things have changed since then, and I never agree to street racing. You can ask any SL member that's in my area and they'll all agree. That run we did on the highway (with the Evo) had ZERO cars on the road. There wasn't swerving, braking, whatever, involved. Now please don't take things off topic by attacking anything I say or do. We'll leave this about Travis and the video he posted of how his brake boosting is well enough to beat a modded STi (as opposed to regular driving). This gives you a good comparison of what brake boosting can do, and has some fun stuff as well.

Leave my small comment out of the centerpoint of this thread and stop antagonizing everyone to start a ____ match. The forums have been great lately and I'd hate for things to start getting sided again.

Boost FTW.

Yeah, your right, I wouldn't know that answer. You can IM Kenny though to get a more definitive answer.

ok, ok, let's cool your jets... :?

You were weaving through traffic at 127mph so it's kinda like the pot calling the kettle black. I know, I know, you didn't say it Paul did. So, it was only an ironic thing.

I wasn't weaving through traffic. I switched lanes BEFORE I was next to another vehicle, and then had an open highway after that. You make it seem like I was swerving around.

Let's just drop this subject because it's getting rediculous. We're both guilty of going fast on the highway from time to time.

I'm definately not hating on Travis. I'd like to think he and I have a lot of pull on the forums. It'd be stupid to hate him haha.

I just get defensive if people think I'd put anyone else's life at risk. It's not something I like to agree with or stand back and watch. And I'm also NOT saying Travis went on the attack, because he didn't. I also can say I never went on the attack against him.

Like I said, I just get defensive. I never drive reckless. Any local will agree.

My personal fav is the early 90's Accord wagons. NO MEANS NO! they just keep pushing as if I'm gonna be slow out of no where and they're lil car is going to thrash mine haha... It's just funny to see. My friends and I had a good time laughing at this one persistant guy the other night... Some people just don't grow up I guess.

but you dont want to start too high and have to shift right away.....what your are trying to do is eliminate the lag and get out of vacuum....that way you dont have to use the down shift to put you into boost, and then immediately shift.

Dude we have this Guy up here that has a earily 90's turbo volvo with a loud BOV that trys to race everyone!!! I saw him rev on a Lambo....no joke. We have some crazy rich people up here.


Last summer I was watching some of the cruisen going on from my car in a parking lot and saw a hyundai tiburon blow his motor trying to race a STI. It happened like right in front of me. I got out to see if I could help....this guy gave the stock Hyundai motor a 100 shot of dry nitrous!!!

I like 0-1 PSI because I like to feel it pull longer. It just feels different than brake boosting at like 3-4 PSI, which I think is what I did during the modded STI race. I tend to find myself drifting off into space if I'm behind, and not really paying attention to my shift points. After the first couple of races, I started to pay attention to what "I" was doing, and the results is what you see.
