Latest News: On Thunder_STI car + 1 Video (Inside)
We have replaced the clutch and corrected the small issues we had on the car.
--After 300miles on the new Clutch--I decided to take it down the 1/4 but on a Illegal street race--day @ the race tracks = No times--just for fun.
So I just wanted to make sure everything was ready for the week by giving it a pass or 2.
Unfortunately--I broke the main shaft on the tranny
But its been replaced as we speak.
Tuesday the tranny will be getting installed and going to the tracks in a few days.
We are trying to hit 10.5 - 10.6 w/ our current set-up. Once it does--car will be going into the surgery room for Part II.
Here is a short video on when I broke the tranny:

Thanks Much

Wassup Blake!!!
Im doing good and the family!!
Having great and quality times--since It was 10years of Army B.S.
But its all good. Having a blast & Living it up!!
We are now planning on buying a new house very soon in about 30-40 days. Trying to do the right things for the boss. (lol)
Well I was working at the Airport with AE/AA, I was earning good $$$$ but unfortunately since I only been with them for 4.5 months. I (we) all new personell got caught for layoff since low season. So Its been about 30days w/o a job.
Currently waiting on several positions @ several locations thru out PR. Hopefully in 2 weeks I can start working again..Even though I love this free time..lol
About the Part II on my car:
Once I reach the goal we want on stock internals; Thats it for the car..Is going to the shop.
We have sit down and talk about what would be the next step and we are almost into an agreement.
Keep in mind; Im sponsored by: Mypocket.com--simple card swipe--cashimiro...
Its not easy. But slowly but surely..We will get there.
But I will reveal just a hint; since no one can predict the future.
Once we go in to Part II the car will come out running into the 9'second zone. Atleast thats the plan. More info will be posted later down the road.
.5 of a second does not seem much but in your pocket Its nearly 8-10g's atleast. Once you get into that level.

Howzit Jose!
Damn bro, I can only wish my car had as much power to break a main shaft.
I'll have to check out your beast one of these days when I visit my mom in Bayamon.
Good luck!

Howzit Rudy,
I cold turkey'd the forums so I could overcome my mod addiction.
I came very close to trading my suby in for an IS350, but I came to my senses and realized that I wasn't ready to make car payments in lieu of purchasing my first home.
I'll be browsing the forums for a little bit. I'm searching for a steal of a deal on an STi powertrain. I'll also be happy if I can score a wrecked STi locally.
There's not really anything new with me. My motorcycle is my daily driver and the suby is only driven on weekends when my wife wants to shop.
So, how have you been? I'm guessing you still have your suby? We've got to hook up and and have some beers and pupus. I maybe able to drag Ed (sub-sonic) out with us too.
