Yeah, I was gonna buy the 2 megapixel one but it was another $150. They are better than my last one I guess. The video is pretty bad though. Only 15 second clips.
You guys swap cat backs??? Jon, I got $250 with your name on it!

The syncro has been shot since I owned this car, now the whole gear is gone. I'm sure it's cheaper to get a new (used) tranny than pay the labor on fixing the damn thing....

We swapped and I'm content, not too loud for me. So it's all up to Dave now...

Well I just test drove with it on. I like the sound difference. It is considerably less noisy. I still want to feel it under WOT once the roads dry up but so far I am happy with it.

Yo Brian, We drove over to Virginia today and picked up our XBOX 360. They did not have the high def cable in stock though. I did not get any games yet either other than Tony Hawk. I had to get something child friendly.

Figures the HD cable is extra, they gotta get ya somehow. Did you get the one with the hard drive? There were rumors that it comes with some popular old X Box games pre loaded, but maybe they have to be downloaded from X Box live. Oh well, we'll try to hook it up soon.
Let me know if you talk to Ray tomorrow, about the closed loop/O2 issue. That'd be SWEET if we didn't have to drill and weld that bung hole.

Yea I bought a hard drive but that was an extra $100 on top of the cost not including the game itself. I think you have to download from XBox live but i have the computer down in my basement. Oh well. I'll let you know what I find out about your PFC.

Well considering all the mods in that car.. Should he ask for a compression test? what is a good score for that?

He should ask for a lot of things, compression test is one of them. The thing is there are so many different tests its hard to say. With any test however, even just a human ear test, there should be three pulses for each rotor and they all should be very close from sound or numbers.

I personally would never buy a FD without seeing the car first.

Yes I wouldn't purchase a car before seeing/driving it. However he is the friend of mine that got a pop-bellied pig (online) from california. I will send him the sticky from the FD fourm regarding the pre-buy tests. Thanks!

Looks like he is getting a lot for $15,500. Compression test he motor and the collant system is possible. Also check the turbine for shaft play or damaged blades. Looks for oil drips under the car too. Keep an eye on the rear main seal.
