Power corrupts.

Not the whole quote, but the only real pertinent part.

lol, I doubt it. My budget is a little bit more in control this time around. Other things take priority right now.

But yeah, the pedal feel and bite of the BBK on my R32 was amazing. The brakes on the FR-S aren't particularly bad, although stopping power leaves something to be desired, on stock tires anyway.

Haven't worked em hard enough to see how bad the fade is. lol.

How did you get the AVO Stage 2+ turbo kit for only 3,800? Don't they retail for around 6 grand. WTF man don't play with my emotions right now

@Sportsguy83 ,

Followed your build since before I got my brz, one of my fav setups. So clean and the gold with blue looks like sex.

Do you wish you went with a turbo from the biggining? Doesn't sound like you have any buyers remorse cause you sold it for a good price, but why the switch? Just hp addiction?

I got the base 1 kit and added everything needed to make it stage 2+ definitely north of 6K

It's a number of reasons. I will go into more detail later on, when I have my new kit.
