Im really suprised you didnt get pissed off and take the trip down, you werent that far away considering you do live in florida lol. Im sure many of the guys would have been willing to ride down with you.

I personally wouldve taken my ass down there 6 months ago.

This isn't a coolant jacket persay. It is Subaru's method of getting coolant from one side of the motor to the other though and it provides the coolant for the throttle body heating as well.

Starting a shop has been a dream of mine for about 5 years. If I sold my M3 and my SpecE30 and started saving my money instead of spending it on modifications and racing, I could probably open my own shop. I had a couple other local buddies that I almost opened a shop with last year, but the reality of the finances became too much.

The dyno and tuning is definitely the way to make money. That was going to be my business model as well. We were going with an AWD Mustang Dyno since they are slim and none in my area and there are tons of Subarus. We had all the price quotes and were ready to pull the trigger.

I'd love to, and I wouldn't let you guys down on quality. Not sure I'd be able to make what I make now though.

I'd be willing to work weekends and maybe consult.
