Which car was that?

Well, just got back to Tulsa from dropping off the EFFFDEEEE at Gotham. I have to say that Gotham is a very professional setup and the guys there make you feel like you're part of the gang as soon as you walk through the door. They definately have their hands full with the Revolution coming up, and the word that these boys are "El Numero Uno" in the rotary tuning world is spreading like wild fire. I will have to say that I feel absolutely comfortable leaving my car there knowing that it's locked up at night with a state of the art security system. I can rest at night knowing it's ok...The car held up ok all the way even with broken seals. 90-110 the whole way...Well, my baby is in God's hands...I mean it's in Steve's hands now

Got to meet and have lunch with Rich, Steve, Ihor, and Alex...Super kewl dudes...The shop is great and has almost everything on hand except all the special order stuff. Saw about 18 FD, and a couple FCs all getting major work done....Got to see a in process 3 rotor conversion...Don't think I will be doing this anytime soon

HOWEVER, i know some of you know thatI have been stuck in a dilema of what wheels to get and not wanting to wait..Well, I SAW THE WHEELS I WANT!!!!!!!!!! Gram Light 57F Pro.....Jesus Christ they look good! I saw them on Ihor's silver FD....Which was like a sign because I also have a silver FD and got to see exactly what my car would look like....When they opened the warehouse I saw the wheels and a light from heaven was shining on them. Then I hear ambient music playing and saw white doves flying around in slow motion with a fine dust in the air.....the dish on the rear was deep enough to feed a great dane from...Looked like about 3.5" and then 2-2.5" on the front. If you are considering these wheels I will have to tell you, seeing them on the net and then seeing them in person is like night and day. Completely sweet wheel that WILL be on my car

I am back home now and glad to be alive after being driven home by an insane Pakistani cab driver.

i say get the ignition system, might as well get it done right the first time. u can go w/ a twin power or an msd on the leading. also look into an engine torque brace w/ shock style dampener. it'll help w/ the extra power you're making, and the dampener will help w/ your urethane mounts.

maybe a turboII leading coil... they tend to be a little more heavy duty... I'm working on getting a 2nd fuel pump in my car within the next couple of weeks to go w/ my setup (little larger turbo)... while they are at it you should take all of the emmissions crap off. I have a greddy type s and I think the screech it gives off is great. also 10ohm 10watt resistors for the bosch injectors...(1600s)

Roy's car walked him pretty bad. I was riding shotgun in the TA and was going to make a little movie with my digi cam, but the batteries died.
