one heck of a list you got there.
The Limited Project has one.
I am sure Bruce Chapman has one on his hit list.
I believe one of the Vacaville/Sacramento meet guys has one.
Maybe do a search in the Member's Rides?

Okay I'll put it on the list.

You know you got a spreadsheet for Santa.

I pulled this section out of a spreadsheet I keep and update quite often. The COBB sways will likely end up being Hotchkis along with the end links. The guages will likely be HKS units instead of Maddad. Etc, etc.
don't get : Perrins PSRS, get the whiteline ALK (NOT the comfor version)
also, your redline fluids are still on that list

i would try to negotiate a lower price on used parts.
ask around at which insane prices that i dump my used stuff

i wouldn't pay more than 50-60% of the newprice on *used* parts.

if you do decide to get it, send out bellmouth housing to swain tech, they'll clean it up for you, and put a nice coating on it

pick your favorite tuner, but schedule dyno time. i'm sure that you can book Ed (if you prefer him as a tuner) on a local dyno.

A road tune has its risks, but it's up to you. I've heard both are good tuners, Im going with Mike because i dont need a ticket and several people have gone with him.

Everyone will probably disagree. But I would go with Ed. This guy SERIOUSLY know what the hell he is doing. My friend Jeff (Crystal Imprezav) lives in the same apartment complex as me so I am constantly hearing about what is going on in the tuning world. Ed is about the only guy Jeff is impressed with. Jeff is a real tuff guy to impress as far as tuning so that says a lot. Normally he just talks **** about all of them.

Mike is a good tuner too though.

I've heard this before....It is not very hard to find a completely safe place to do a 4th gear pull. You dont have to risk anything if you find the right spot. Roas tuning is far superior to Dyno imho. You want you car tuned with accurate loads and conditions. A dyno is nothing but a tool to help tune. It doesnt simulate road conditions very well at all. Does Mike still tune with the hoods open?
