Awesome, thanks rob!
And I'll get those pics up, bad feeling that gettin together with nate is gonna get rained out :(
I was getting my wheels / QTP's ready tonight. Had to take a drill to my ProStars to enlarge the valve stem hole for the screw in stems on the race tubes. No going back now, they are tubed and screwed. Bring on the low pressure and 6600 rpm clutch drops.

wow just bought another dirtbike...
this time a new one for once.. 08 YZ250F!
Anyone want to buy a 2 stroke? lol
No but I do want a 3 series now. Been driving a 335xi since yesterday and they've gotten a lot better. You don't need to buy the five to get a really nice car. That little bastard is fast too LOL.
Also, if anyone is in the market for an xkr vert, pm me by tomorrow and I can save you a lot of money :)
Hey MBH,
Did you get a chance to drive an evo and an STi? I'm curious on your thoughts about the handling and the AWD between those 3 cars.
Never driven an sti but have driven an evo a number of times. Two totally different cars IMO. Evo was much more eager to play, but that's all it's really built for. You can tell it's a 15k car with a 15k drivetrain, but the bimmer is just all around nicer, and by a light year in some departments. They both ride very stiff, but the bmw is smooth while the evo is harsh if that makes sense.
No I dig what you're saying. Sounds like the BMW is stiff without having "Princess Pea Syndrome". The STi is like that... its stiff and you can wing it around but you feel everything and its kind of "jaring".
So you think the 335xi is a better value versus the evo or STi?
Better value idk. I think this car is around 45k, maybe more, and I've never been in the evo x. But better car if you could only have one car? No doubt in my mind. With a tune this car turns into something else, I think they pick up close to 70 whp, since they have sequential turbos they actually move some air

Low dyno must have been cause one of my cats was freakin clogged!! Gonna have thunder pipes for a while. Time for long tubes!!
Personally if i had the money to pick between the 2 i would probaly go with the 335xi. After reading alot about those cars they seem like a well rounded package. Style,speed,comfort and runs pretty close to a M3 in performance for about 10-15k less depending on the package u get. Being turbo the skys the limit with simple bolt on's

Ok. So I got home like an hour and a half ago. I just now got inside. I pull into the driveway, grab my keys to come inside and I see that I have my other set WITHOUT a freakin house key, front and back doors are locked. So....call my sisters phone 300 times, of course, she doesnt wake up, even call my moms cell and the house phone over and over and no one wakes up. BUT. i do have a set of garage keys. so I bust out the ladder, get onto the porch roof. step 2, I pull the ladder up, place it on the steep-ass sloped porch roof and get on the roof of what would be my mom's bedroom, and get to my sisters window. I get the screen out, and a combination of hitting the window and calling her cell phone finally gets her up...so...fun night for me. freezing cold and raining too.
the end.
