New FC!

Not sure if this is the place, there seems to be a number of sub forums, but thought I'd share my new acquisition. Bone stock TII.

Not sure, I almost think its a crime to mod this one, but a mild build could be an easy compromise.

Welcome back dude, keep us posted on the "mild build". With your experience on the matter, I wonder which ECU you will be going with this time around?

Yup! I was running an E6K years ago, now running a PS1000. LOVE the data log options, efan control, boost control, etc. Cant imagine how much better the Elite is. Keep us posted on the your car.

That's really nice that you bought another one, I was thinking about your white car, and was wondering what happened to you after that.

I don't post here that much but I've been reading for years.

I always thought that your build was awesome. It was a bit too radical for daily driving enjoyment I guess, so a "mild build" should give you more overall enjoyment, that is if you don't get caught in the process ending with one of the fastest Fc out there again.

Good luck with the build, I am already subscribed.

I saw your name as the original poster and thought, man, I haven't seen that guy post in awhile. Welcome back. It would almost be a crime to modify that car. There really aren't that many left in original and unmolested condition. A good compromise for me would be a Racing Beat Exhaust and that's about it, lol. Would love to see more pictures of the car!!

Scratch that, I see that you sold the car. Maybe the new owner will emerge here on the forum!
