are you planning to go SC?

Yes took too long, and a bunch of BS delays. The vortech was faster and much better service by pure performance.

Work is finally letting up just a bit.

You're better off with the Vortech, Perrin's doing some good stuff with that kit

Yup! +1 on that. I'll wait til they break 250whp.

Helping out another tuner company of another platform to produce products (specifically performance wheels, studs and spacers) for the ft86. I got an invite from them a few days ago, so figured why not give them a chance. The company is called APEX racing parts. They made a mark in the BMW world. (made a search first before saying yes to their invite

) Just to make more options for us in the market.

finally got to flash/drive around my visconti 91 stage 1 tune - I have absolutely no idea why the car didn't come like this from the fucking factory...

also DAT SUPERCHARGER. If you're gonna SC - vortech is the way to go in CA.

Now I'm gonna have 2 people to hound for ride alongs...

I'd love to go FI but unless you have a monster budget the track will kill it.

I've seen so many non-factory FI break at the track. Pretty much everyone I've ever seen that's not a Miata.

Nice. Locally located in Livermore. Will they work on the twins too or just parts?

Yes sir, locally in Livermore. Their company is performance/track oriented wheels but still street able wheels so I think they will just focus on those areas they did same as in the BMW community. Wheels, spacers and studs are there main products.

They'll fit, but it'll poke out. Im not sure how the front would be, if rubbing would be an issue. And you'll be running stretched tires with that set-up. I'll be running the same wheels but +35 front and +20 rears.

Any interest on driving Sat 4/20 AM then finishing off by heading to this carshow? It's like a Farmer's Market with cars.
