yup...exactly that! I went to CES today and got behind a couple pages!

Only saw one xb and one tC there, but it was still a good show. Sony's OLED screens are DOPE!

Oh, and java, i knew you were getting your mani replaced cause of the coating, but are you getting it replaced with the version 2? I guess you must cause he's not making the version 1 mani anymore, huh?

yeah im getting the version 2 phil, which actually works out because i want to get the carbon fiber reverse kowl hood, and then maybe a cf hatch too! what you think? because my appearance on the outside is pretty stock besides my drop and rims.

I think my thread just hit 100 pages!

No, really though, I TOTALLY want a CF hood, and LOVE the kaminari, but I'm leaning towards the seibon vs2 hood, mainly for heat venting, but I can't do either with my mani. I LOVE the look of CF hood and hatch on our cars in ANY color cause it blends in with the tinted all glass roof! Looks awesome when looking down at it. DO IT!

But from the teaser pics from todd... I think the version 1 LOOKs better so far. We'll see what the final actually looks like.

The dealership? I doubt they'll go for that unless they give you the cash and you get it, but they'd have to do the swap and I hear that is hard with the glass and all. I bet when they order a new hatch, it comes with the glass and all...but if they do that would be badass!
What's up with your spoiler?

actually, I hadn't seen that thread yet and was talking about some other mani I saw. Todd's sh!it is...well...the ****! But I like what I got.

So, you smoking evos off the line to? or just from a roll? Honestly I can't get anyone who wants to race me! But I'm still waiting on that bigger spring from Todd. He said ola's mani had fingerprints in it, so he sent it back to get recoated, then he'll send it to him along wiht my 6psi spring.

Oh, and I dropped my duty cycle to 20 and I'm just at 5.6psi, so I'm thinking the percentage is related to the size of the WG spring, but I could be wrong on that.
I also upped my WG crack to 2 and i'm spooling a little sooner put not peakig bad at all. I can actually get traction in 1st now! Hey, what is your WG crack set to?

oh, and Ace...take those damn java questions to the hawaii thread!


j/k!

yes duty cycle is related to the wastegate spring, you are correct. truth is we havent touched the WG crack at all.. we will sometime soon though.

intake pipe. He's still got the zip tied wonder, and shoulda had the new intake pipe this week, but todd saw the prints when he was packing the box.

So do you know what your crack is set to, then?

It's OK, though, cause you know he won't post again for like a month!

I just wanted to let everyone who is following my thread know (both of you!) that I'm getting new charge pipes from Todd which are the revamped style on the version II kit, so there will no longer be any clearance issues.

I will post up new pics once I get them and put them on.
