Deal! Every $100 you invest towards my turbo build is 10 minutes of wheel-time in my car

Haha. Have you been to DS1 Motorsports before? It's in Woodridge next to the AMC Loews theatre.

Yep. There is a Subie shop called DS1 Motorsports right next to it. I went there a few times when I was looking at a used 04 WRB STi that was in the shop for a new 07 STi small block. But hey, I had never knew about the place either and I don't even own a Subaru.

You definitely should. They do a lot of good installation and repairs from what I can see. There are a lot of WRX/STi wagon/sedans parked outside constantly. And even more inside being worked on. The shop is a little secluded and not easy to notice though. If you want, we could meet up sometime and go there. Then you could show me your STi.

I'm actually at college right now. I will be home November 21st to November 30th, so anytime then would work. How did you fry a piston? And how is your car doing?

No idea how.. I'm guessing its just crappy quality ringlands that subaru decided was ok to let pass on our cars. I've been AP stage 1 since like 1000 miles, pro tuned at like 10k miles, and rarely ever beat on my car. I'm at 35k miles right now and am really upset, especially since I take pretty good care of my car.

The car is running fine. I can't remember the last time I've boosted because I've been granny ing it for the last 5k miles.

I should be available sometime during that week to meet up if you want, just pm me when you want to meet up and I'll give you my contact info.
