2 questions...

Hey everyone, it's been about 2 years since I posted, but I got some questions.

First, anyone every have problems with they're radio antenna? The retard at the car was tried to take it off, and broke it from the mount on the inside. I remember a few years back the was a short flexible antenna that people were using. Any problems with those, and where can I get one?

Last, my cars all stock. (with the exception of a trailer hitch) The last thing I heard everyone talking about was the intake from k&n. Did that ever come out? Does it not give check engine lights like some intakes use to? While I'm thinking about it, did gm ever come out with the stage kits for the turbo cars?

Thanks ahead of time.

Here's a pic just in case someone was doubting the trailer hitch. I use it to tow my 428whp turbo Hayabusa to the track.

Nope, not a typo. Just 24 pounds of boost out of a gt30r. And yes it puts the power to the ground with an ams-1000 boost controller. It's a gear and rpm based boost controller that ramps in the boost based on how you set it up.

It's the same controller my customer uses on his 617whp Busa. It's got a gt4098r on it.

It's actually an off the shelf hitch made draw tight. It's a class 1 hitch so it's only got a 200 pound tounge weight. But with my bike, ramp, fuel and gear on the trailer it's only about 80 pounds. The car doesn't even squat. ****, you can't even tell your pulling it.

I don't have the sheet for mine cuz 400hp on a turbo Busa is nothing special in the Busa community. However here's the sheet for my coustumers bike.

The bike.

Hell yeah. I get a lot of **** livin in Texas towig with my car. My argument is I'm towing a bike, not a speed boat. I don't have a $500 a month truck note, and I don't have to deal with truck gas Mileage when I'm not towing. I do still get 30mpg while I'm towing.

So anyways, is that gm stage 1 kit worth a ****?
