      Thanks for having me back! I have been avoiding it since the 323 board went away.

          Yep i decided that i had put so much time and money into the car that it was worth more than my subaru impreza I am planning to use the gtx this winter for snowboarding. I just shot the primer coat yesterday (first time i have painted a car) and i am going to do a dark forest green on it this weekend if time allows.

                    Also HUGE thanks to Greg Downing for answering a question i had about my VAF. I was using the incorrect one which caused the computer to run the motor much more rich than was necessary. Now i have the BP26 Y code one installed and it runs great! Also huge thanks to Jeff21 for hooking me up with the part!!!

                      Which Vaf where you using before? I have an Rx-7 one I smog with that works fine-ish.

                          Hah.. yeah.. good times. I'll have to make it up there sometime when you get it finished and we can go mob around your neck of the woods.. you set up for tarmac?

                          Also were you able to keep the crash bar with the GTAe bumper?

                            Regrettably i was not able to. With the intercooler set up as well as the bumper there was not enough space. Right now it is set for tarmac. I am throwing on the stock rims for winter. Next summer i plan on doing some auto x.

                              Which turbo you running? we might be very competitive. I picked up a GTX you may recognize. it's pretty ballsy.
