          For those of you looking for fmic kits, you can use Evo 8 and 9 intercoolers with the pipes. The lower pipe needs to be cut and modified but the top one fits pretty well, at least on the AWD. That's what I have on my car, I'll try snapping some pics for you guys. You can get a complete kit with the metal BPV for 150$-200$ on evolutionm.net

            Certainly post pics because that would be a great alternative to the **** turboproto is/was making.
            I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                        and its that reason that he has been able to get away with screwing others over for so long... people local whom he cannot screw over and the occasional person he ships to that gets it in a timely manner seemed to stand up for him, seeing as they "never had a problem". making 1 out of 10 customers happy is just not acceptable, but its floated him till now. its a sort of village politics that is allowed on ALL forums, that has unfortunately burned some innocent people who were just not allowed to hear the truth.

                        Im not bashing mods or admins with that comment, you cannot let every raving lunatic slander upstanding members even if the seller dropped the ball, their business cannot be run into the ground by someone who wont let things go for an accident, so I respect the decisions of all the staff of this forum.

                            This thread is NOT for bashing. It for finding out who else has had problems, and working towards solving them, either that be through paypal claims, lawsuits, etc.

                            As you can see, the mods and admins are trying to help people. We are not concerned with personal thoughts or opinions on him. So people can keep comments to themselves unless it's in the direction of getting problems resolved. Users have been warned.

                            I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.
