They look great, do they work great..I don't know...they look damn good in the box!!!

Chris05STi · 09-12-2007, 08:25 PM

Hahahah, thanks, I try to do my best, its def tough at times, I have most of everything I "plan" on doing, its the bank accounts that don't agree!

Mine feels the same way. No worries.

When are you going to come to fizz and hang out again? Another JDM Ballers Meet before it gets cold?

Chris05STi · 09-13-2007, 03:37 AM

Anytime! We should def get a meet up there soon, get the whole crew rounded up.

the cuscos are great unless you are nvh sensitive. if you have a big power plan they are a must have.

Chris05STi · 09-13-2007, 06:16 AM

It even changes the way the engine sounds...makes it "deeper"'ish.

Update:

Well this past Saturday was my B-day!!!! My lovely g/f took me to Velocity-17 in Maywood, NJ for 2 awesome sessions of go-karting (v-17.com). They have a 100,000 sq ft facility, and have these electric go-karts that go about 35'ish maybe 40mph on an awesome course. The fastest I went was around 46 seconds. She bought me 2 sessions and a 1-year membership, ontop of that, she got me a Xbox 360 game, a headset, and a Sparco Black Hoodie that is currenlty on backorder and will be shipped soon! Steve got me a sweet Puma Ferrari jacket and the Whiteline Steering Rack bushings! I also got some money and a 37 piece air tool set. It was a great time. I just ordered a bunch of 8x10 pics of my car from Limerock, CT from Year 2006 and 2007 from Tracktimephotos.com. I also ordered a 8x12 of my car from this year taking a turn, and ordered to be framed and mated. Little gifts for myself, I have wanted these for awhile, just never remembered to do it.

As far as the bodykit, its on its "way", still didn't get any tracking info, but hopefully it will come in this week! I still need that C-West front grill since they are gonna be painting some parts aways. I also decided to get the NRG CF Mirrors. I will order those by the end of the month hopefully. With the b-day money I got, it will pay for all of these, so it won't even take away from my savings for an apartment. So good times, and hopefully I can get my car to look more representable finally!

sounds like a pretty awesome birthday!

I've been to v-17 a couple times (along with other Jake (s1mpsons) and ceaser) and it's a blast (although i seriously doubt those cars are doing 4mph, probably closer to 10).

RacerXS · 09-17-2007, 07:06 AM

I was at Velocity 17 on Saturday too, got there about 2:30 & left @ 4. What time were you there?
I could only do the virtual racing b/c my son was with me, but I will definitely be back to check out the carting. Looks wicked.

PS - Happy (belated) Birthday!

I got there around 8'ish or 9? They are open until midnight. Yah the virtual racing looked sick, did you do the BMW sim? They told me they recieved the BMW sim 3 days prior, and it had the new M3! I want to try their tatical shooting sim next time around. Next month, Steve and I are planning to go there, I will let you know, we can make a group out of it!

**Z1 Performance** · 09-17-2007, 07:18 AM

Yea, let me know, i will definitely be in.
The Virtual Racing is wicked cool, for $20- you get 3 races, I did all 3 with the Porsche 996 @ Willow Springs. My last race I came in 2nd, the other two I got in bad accidents & came in 16th & 18th. Not as easy as it looks!
The guy told me each one of the driving sim pods were $15K!

yea i remember seeing them. I think they are using GTR or GTR2 (great games for the pc. Fantastic when you use the logitech G25 wheel). I'd like to try it one time when i go there.

Chris05STi · 09-17-2007, 09:12 AM
