Oh- there is a dyno drag on Friday night somewhere. I think you might be able to get a few runs there. I'm not 100% but I will ask. My friend is going to be dynoing his Turbo 502. Probably some huge numbers.

No, you won't fail emissions if you get one with a CEL delete. You only fail emissions of you have a CEL on..
interesting. There are streight pipes that come with this feature? Is the car more smelly with a streight pipe? Will I die of carbon monoxide poisoning if have one?

Straight pipes are illegal and won't pass emissions. Unless you do a secondary O2 modification, you'll get a CEL code too. Yes, it does make your car stink too .

You can get one with a CEL delete built in (berk tech). Your car will smell when you drive it hard and then park it..

Contact Paul at Wheel Image. Tell him you are a member of the Gateway group and know me. He'll do you right, and probably fast

If you could wait a few days, I could make you a good deal on S-O3's, only 1k on the rears and less than 4K on the fronts .... like new. They're on ap1 wheels, so you could either pay to unmount, or buy the tires and wheels, your choice.

omfg, that was probably the stupidest thing I have done in a long time. I drove home at 5:00. Some of you may recall the condition of my S02's. Its a miracle there was so much traffic to keep the speeds down on the highway. I have to either fix my GF's car myself or figure out a way to get her into another one so I can drive my Camry.

Thanks for the help. I took Pauls # with me today to work but didn't get a chance to call. I am going to get RE750's, so no thanks on the S03's mate.

SlipAngle79 - Please replace your rear tires, at a minimum, before attempting to drive again. Zero/low tread + black ice = this...

... please notice I had some tread left! Hit some black ice and lost it. The (MY03) car was totalled.

Called Paul today, 4 new Fuzions going on the car Saturday. I hope these work out for me. I opted for the 205/55 front and 245/45 rear. rehile, thanks for the concern and the picture looks like every S owners nightmare. Glad you survived so I could meet you
