My car is the greatest

So I stored my car for the last 6 months of me being in Iraq (since I was on leave half way through), and since I didn't have a whole lot of time I just parked it in a garage, disconnected the battery and left it. well I came to get it and all I did was connect the battery and bam it started the first crank! then I went to change the oil, and wash it, and it works just fine, still boosts has good power and all is well! I just wanted to tell you guys how awesome my FD is.

Nice, but next time you store it dont forget to cover the exhaust tip as rats or other creatures may want to live in there...

yeah, thinking back that would have been a good thing to do, especially since it's pretty much straight through 3inch up to the turbos. so I guess when I deploy to afghanistan next I'll remember to do that... and a lot more.

If a rat wants to get in he will…look what I found sitting fried behind the i/c when I bought my FD ~4 years ago (Mickey Mouse died in my engine bay lol).

Nice hearing your FD started @ first crank!
