Default certifabily nuts (spending too much on this toy...)

For the week of 10/5-10/12:

Volk Racing TE37s (18") w/ AVS Sports
StopTech Brakes
Turbo Timer/Boost gague combo
snow tires
APR downpipes & chip upgrade to EMCS 4 program

Grand Total still under $10k for the week
The Alcon-B's would have pushed me over the $10k mark for the week! Yikes!

The only comparision is before I got the car when I ordered the UUC VM2, APR chip, Vortrag Coilovers, UUC short shifer, & V1 all together.

If all goes well this weekend I'm going to have a pretty fun car for Monday at SIR. Can you say 360++ hp (APR stage 2+ w/ 100 octane fuel & race program). Too bad the AVS Sports may not make it in for Monday.

Default Looks like you need a job! ;-)

I'm hoping those AVS's come in most though...!

Fun stuff. I'll be interested in checking out your StopTech's.

Default You whacko...hehe, Gimme. The 100 octane mode will blow you away!

Hope you get all that stuff figured out. Hopefully your tranny does good enough to make the event also, be easy on that thing!!

Default Well, a FIRST one would be needed before getting the SECOND :)...

... mostly I need to decide to stay in the Seattle area for the "long term". Once that happens I'll take one of the many possible jobs AND put that lift in my garage.

But not much point in getting that lift Josh wants or taking a job if I might be moving in the near future... .

Default Jason, they had another set... Emphasis on had...

Is it a brake swapping weekend? By the way, pads for the Stoptech system are inexpensive! They may pay for themselves.
