100k miles on original motor (so i've been told) with no rebuilds, and compression tests out fine (100psi both front and rear rotors, one face of the rear rotor is above 90psi)

hoping to meet fellow enthusiasts and hear some catbacks in person

so damn bored here at work.

anyways I need to get my car tune asap. Ben appears to be a little bit busy at the moment. I don't want to bother him too much. Anyone knows someone local that can tune PFC.? It looks like if I were to wait on Steve Kan, that could be next year or so...

Well I didn't get my single turbo FD back, but bought a red r1 like two months ago. All 99spec. also recently purchased and put on. So it looks exactly like my old one except it's stock with 99spec twins.

Yeah I can't wait for the 8k return either, although I will probably use most of it to pay off the SMUD loan for the new dual pane windows I just had installed. Would rather pay it off early than pay $3500 in interest over 10 years. Ah, the joys of homeownership!

Where'd you guys buy?
