nice list! got any clips of your exaust?

[bbong]

I don't, but I will get couple soon, as well as the upcoming dyno tune for the new mods that are in my sig.

It sounds as though you have some nice parts. Did your car really dyno stock with 200/200 or was that an estimate of what they usually see from stockers?

P.S.
You misspelled "exterior"

That was an estimate what they see from stockers, it's a heart breaking dyno that they have in there.

Here are the pictures of parts that I got from TopSpeed so far:

PE850cc's


Hallmans MBC:


And some photos of the AMR Exhaust from last winter, there's a shot of Blizzaks as well :P

Hey,

Dunno if that will do any justice for your request, but I uploaded a short
video of also short pull in the Battery Tunnel, coming back from Lake
George day before 2007's 4th of July, my wife wasn't very fond of this, you
can hear her say "Go" at the beginning of the video. :P

Here is the link:

Parts from TopSpeed are slowely making their way here, but still no
sign of UR30R, that's the last thing I'm missing, here are the photos
of freshly delivered Greddy Oil Catch Can.

looks great i cant wait to see the finally outcome!

[bbong]

Just thought that I'd post some pics of my car being gutted for FMIC
and then after it was done. I cut the bumper a bit too much, and
please ignore the camera's date stamp, it's a bit off!

bbong's 2006 STI FMIC Install

Hey, thanks a lot, though I'm getting very impatient about the UR Kit, as it's
been a month already, and after contacting TopSpeed all I got is "We'll call you back",
and they never did and I believe they're closed on Weekends, so next
earlier date I can contact them again is Monday.

I guess all I can do is keep on calling, and wait.

its a small world. it took TurboXS 2 weeks to get me my missing 15 hose clamps, and another 2 weeks to get my missing windshield wiper resorvoir standoff kit, missing coupler hose, and getting me the correct piping for my fmic. though yours actually looks tasteful, mine went pretty bad, though thats cuz i now work 2 jobs. if i could do it again, i wouldve went with APS FMIC, though TurboXS got me with their RFL

That really sucks, I wish they would keep you more updated, I randomly got the
parts, never knowing what and when it'll come, and I'm really used to getting
notifications on incoming packages. When dealing with any IT vendors, they always send you the Tracking Number, so you'll know when to expect the
goodies, even if you order something for $40, not to mention four grand.

Anyway thought that TopSpeed was a reputable vendor/shop, but with every
passing week, I get more nervous and impatient, here's my experience with
TopSpeed so far:

1. TopSpeed did not get back to me with a reason as to why I haven't received the kit yet.
2. TopSpeed promised to call me back on the status of the order, and they haven't.
3. TopSpeed promised to PM/Call me back on my PM requests and it's been over a week and not a word after my last PM.

I've placed an order on 7/10, so it makes it a month, I wouldn't mind waiting
longer, if the vendor would keep me posted as to why remaining items haven't been
send out yet, they're out of stock, UR can't keep up with fab work, but please keep a
paying customer informed, or else they'll never buy from you again!!!

Well, the kit should be here on Monday, so I'll try to arange something with
AMR to hopefully get the car setup before E-Town on 25th, otherwise I'll be
there without the new Turbo.

Is anybody going on Sat 25th from NYC area, or a bigger group is going, please
PM me with info, and I'll tag along. Thanks.
