What happened to that HPT and netbook combo deal you found, Parnell? See for me though, I didn't like the way the touchpad and keyboard were on some of the netbooks...that's the thing for me, fit and finish...I was willing to pay extra for this one because the quality of the case and everything else seem a little nicer and more durable as well as having a nice touchpad.
Hoffa, hell yeah! Just set something up and I will figure out how to be there....just has to be something other than Tuesday night.

Good, I can manage a weekend as long as I know enough in advance. I have some practicing to do I guess. I'm going to wait until we get through 3 or 4 weeks before I start bowling practice games during the week...my arm is still getting used to not bowling for a year +.

If, big if, I do that route with the SC, I'm going with ZZP's setup. It may be more expensive than piecing a setup together or than your setup, but it's the route I want to go. Otherwise I may scrap it and go with ZZP's turbo (just stage 1)...but I want the SC....I don't know why, but I've just always been a fan of superchargers over turbochargers.
I have my netbook in hand that is downloading files I need...I just got the cable in the mail today...unfortunately I have to work in an hour at Domino's so I don't know if I want to do this right now...I work tomorrow too...contemplating doing it right now and saying the hell with it, but I think I'll probably wait until after work tonight or tomorrow morning.
You aren't tuned Kretty? I thought you were, didn't you hit like 290 hp and 3xx tq? What is done so far to your car?

I uploaded both the ECM and TCM tunes and there is definitely a difference...economy is better when I'm not on it...when I am on it, the tranny shifts so nicely now and the powerband is pretty damn nice. A little extra power (probably not much, but enough to notice a slight difference).
I'm loving the park/neutral rev limiter gone...since it actually goes to redline now, it sounds nice...when it cut off at 4k RPM's it sounded like the car was retarded and trying to kill itself...lol. I can't complain about the Injen intake with Pacesetter header, Exhaust Depot catless DP, and LSJ cat-back sound...it sounds very nice...except at idle or light acceleration.
I can't wait to get a chance to try out the top speed limiter removal, too...lol. 108 on a slight downill is what it tops out at right now. 106 on a straightaway.

How many people are considering control arm bushings?
I'm considering buying a press for home, just need to figure out how to justify it. Seems like subarus like to eat wheel bearings (which also requires a press) So it may be beneficial for me to get one now.
LMK!

I need 2 sets of bushings pressed, derlin and cab's. I think others were thinking of them too. so it could be worth it....
I got my hpt the other day...I should plug in my spare ecu.....

Nope, need a hydraulic press to do it. Arbor press isn't enough
A press costs around $400 for a decent sized one to do more things, so granted I could do more wheels bearings and such and home, 1 or 2 CAB's just doesn't justify buying the press..now if 5-10 people were looking at getting them, its a little easier to justify.
