whats up?
i met a few of you up at street legal drags on Halloween, and if you were there and i didn't meet you i was the red 2g that ran over gus's stuff in the pits. i guess i got a little excited when they called group one 4 hours after my 1st run and wasn't paying attention, sorry gus! anyway my name is corey and since i got my license ive owned a dsm, just a N/A one up until 2006 when i got my A/T GS-T. if your interested in the current mods i updated my profile so i won't bore you with rambling off bolt-ons. im currently active duty navy and live/work down in san diego but drive to LA every once in awhile... definitely sooner than later since i REALLY need my car tuned. see you around the site and i look forward to meeting everyone.

Welcome to the board, and you owe me a new plastic bag! Other than that everything seemed to be unbroken.

Re: whats up?
Welcome to the site Corey, I took video of your first pass against Erix. I'm putting the photage I have on DVD for the local guys. I can put your pass up on youtube if you want.

Re: whats up?
You most certainly did puff white smoke going into third. I wouldn't worry about it to much though, just a puff on a full throttle shift happens a lot.

Re: whats up?
Welcome Corey. Get link, let me know and we'll get that car dialed in. A good toon will net more overall power than any bolt on or anything you can add using a wrench. And further down the road makes everything work at its best.
But welcome to the forum.
This is Sam by the way.

Re: whats up?
thanks for all the welcomes and car compliments i do appreciate it. its a wolf in sheeps clothing though if you think that thing looks nice... i was having a hard time getting a full tank of gas on it without it breaking down. i think if finally got all the problems ironed out though so i dropped the $600 on link v3 last night and should have it on my door step by the weekend! sam ill be back up there before the 22nd to get it tuned before BOTI... thanks for all the advice on sat. btw, i learned a lot.

Re: whats up?
Welcome. Your car is pretty damn clean. Did you do the AWD conversion yourself or did you buy it like that? The conversion is something i'm considering later down the road.

Re: whats up?
did the automatic to manual/fwd to awd swap in my good friends garage in 2 weeks. his name is dan and im sure you've all met him, he had a white '99 GSX that he loved but he totaled it sept. last year right after MOD. he was the big contributing factor in the swap and i learned a hell of a lot doing it.
worth it.
