Wanna get me one too? I had a 360 for a year and had absolutely no problems with it...but I never played it so that probably means something. I would rather game on PC FPS style or not at all anymore. Nicole took the Wii when she moved out because I don't ever use it anymore...never really cared for it much, just bought it because I have owned every Nintendo console ever.

Never have we had ANY mod rights, nor does any other vendor.

I sold my rrod xbox to a buddy for 60 dollars. I guess he could j tag it or something like that. isnt the rrod caused by the mb warping and popping the cpu off of it?

Yes you are correct it cause the board to warp. But if you fix it the first time you get the ring of death you can normaly have everything working without problems. But if you wait before fixing it you are screwed. You can buy the new cooling plates that sit above the cpu so it doesnt over heat. I have had to fix a few 360s likes that.

Modded wii for the win. I wouldnt trade my modded wii or xbox 360 for anything.

I've never personally met Aaron at TTR, but I have purchased a few things from him. Much MUCH MUCH better service than any other company on this site (I won't even get started with OTTP)

Plus TTR IS located in MN, so he should be welcome here just as you are!

I think if TTR would put a little more into putting there parts into actual RACE cars and prove that they work more and more people would stop being on the OTTP *******.

I thought modding my wii would give me more inspiration to play it, but it did not. The wii is the worst 250 dollars I have ever spent in my life. Mod nation racers kick ass if anyone wants to know.

We are working with a couple members on here to try out some very new LNF parts we have been working on for the last 9 months. So we will have a whole new setup of products to offer. And as you stated we are always here for our customers. Thanks.

I didn't miss it, I just chose to ignore it. Can't believe half the stuff on this site as it is anyways. That's why I only come on in here, the rest of the forums are worthless.

The way I see it, Powell made GREAT cars, they were fast and won A LOT of races, but they are not the end all/be all. But lets be serious, there isn't anything out of the ordinary on them, and all the parts used to make them that way ANY reputable shop with factory support could have done the same thing. They are great products and Powell shop is/has been very helpful to the cobalt community

TTR has been around for awhile and has brought a lot of products to cobalts, the only difference is that they were not on these race cars. the are still GREAT parts.

quite a few products from powells shop shouldn't ever be needed on a street car, and are quite frankly useless to 99% of the people on this site that the only time they will actually step foot on a real road race track is to watch, but they get HYPED up so much because they were on the race cars everyone thinks they need to have it.
Hell I was the track this past weekend and there was a cobaltss/na racing and it seemed to be doing GREAT and I can guarantee it didn't have anything from powells shop.

either way they both make GREAT products, both companies and zzp seem to help out the cobalt community more than ANY other shop. If it weren't for these competing companies all making great products, every part from powell would probably be about $400 more than it is now.

TTR should be in here, local companies should have some sort of interest in the local community. to TTR for sticking through all the BS on this site!

This thread and the For Sale section aren't bad (for sale can be, but isn't too bad usually).

Because I like you Ryan I am going to drop the subject. The only nice thing I can say about TTR is their customer service is better than most, I can agree with that.
