quick question, does anyone know if the dirt road on Mt. Madonna is still public road? Or is it private property?

Thanks

Subie party B.Y.O.B.O.V(bring your own blow off valve) LOL

i miss my car! I'm driving the company scion "XBox" and man this thing is slow!! My car with Only Wastegate boost would destroy it haha. It's also not very comfortable, it feels like your sitting on a office chair with your feet flat on the floor. Oh well atleast I didn't have to take my car and pay for gas etc..

I feel ya! I think I'm going to just get the OEM steering wheel mounted one. Way cheaper than the 3 gauge pod, and less noticable to cops.

That's a nice wagon you got there! I was taking a peak at it at the meet. Those 18 inch volks or is it just the hyper silver color that makes em look bigger?


You should look at the mad dad gauges. They make them to match your interior lights.

Thanks! Ya they are 18" Volks. Im looking to get rid of them eventually.

i would stay away from prosport. their boost gauges with electronic senders, tend to have the sender go bad, especially during summer. ive been through 3 of the electronic senders before i just took the boost gauge out

hey so i was bored at work checking on what products we can get, and i can get KYB struts for cheap...not sure who runs kyb here besides ray but i can get the KYB excel-g which is the same as the gr-2 but with black strut bodies to look more OEM

KYB Americas Corporation Shocks & Struts | For Service Professionals | GR-2. Excel-G Color Change Information

granted they aren't the kyb agx struts, they are still the best quality oem replacements
