Busy day yesterday. In addition to an oil changer I installed:
-Perrin Frontpipe
-Perrin Overpipe
-GFB Alternator Pully
-GFB Waterpump Pully

Definitely feeling more torque. It's really starting to fly through the revs up to redline.

It was a pain in the ass until I gave up and followed someone's advice and unbolted one of the engine mounts and lifted that corner a tiny bit. After that it was pretty easy.

Was it near 3rd and Washington? I see one parked over there a lot. I think it's someone who works for the FBI. I saw it parked with one of there signs on the dash.

Hey, was it your FRS at Ripley back in August? I was there for AT and saw it when we did our company fun run.
Yes it was fellow Red Bull! I noticed a blue 86 up there that month as well.
We are clearly keeping good company.

Yes it was. Must be the same car, but I know the FBI moved to a new building quite a bit further away...

First time I have seen it there.

I took a break this morning and installed my Grimmspeed hood struts. They look and work great.

I saw that guy a couple of times, he had a weird looking pink/white license plate with black toyota badge. It looks like he is selling his car on craigslist now though

Becasue the seller is in denial. There is a used Limited for $24K from a dealer with 11K miles on it. I bet you can get them to $23K easy.
