Dustin- if you turbo your balt I'm gonna be hella jealous. You better take me for a ride.
Jordan- are you talking about selling yours? That car is a machine man keep her!!!
Kenny- you selling yours? Did you not just pop the piston?
Slapbet- the topaz is rusty and crusty but one hell of a winter beater/dog carrier.

Hope we can all meet up for wingies soon

Well Kenny is going to put a new motor in and take all my stock stuff so he can go back to stock and i'm gonna take his turbo kit except run his old turbo set up which he had next to no problems with. I still won't run as much HP as he was making. I'd be happy with 300whp as a daily driver. For now haha

Thanks dude. They're Drag DR-34 wheels and studded Hankook iPike's, 225/45R17. A bit noisy, but will hopefully pay off this winter. Got the setup from Discount Tire, would highly recommend them! If anybody is ordering wheels/tires call Zack, he gave me a wicked deal over what they list online.
