Ethan, why not, you have your "daily driver" back again now .

Wow! That's major.... I'm glad you're getting her back though. "Ti" refers to Titanium, and in this context would refer to the valve springs and possible something else.

I know the gauges are a lot to keep track of but once you know what you're looking for you don't even have to look at them anymore, it's like second nature. You just know if something is out of place. Also if you have some of the new electronic gauges like the Apex EL2's they have warning lights that you can set to alert you when you are over the limit.

Well good luck with her and keep it safe and in one piece.
Lol, I think he has the Apexi EL2 gauges since they should be the same as mine. Remember though that with that much hp (and a rookie driver) it may just be too much for him right now. The key is experience and patience until you are ready to handle the power.

Supposely I'm getting my car tonight. The car is more quiet now since Jarrett put in a hi-flow cat, resonator and a Tanabe exhaust.

I've heard most Tanabe exhaust models are loud. I have't heard them first hand, but apparently that's the word.

Actually, that is what I thought too. I didn't exactly tell him what parts I wanted. I just asked him to make sure the car is more quiet compared to before.
