I love the car to bits, i hope when im older I can look back and tell my kids about it and stuff and tell them how hip and cool i felt haha. It's the perfect tuner car, maybe when i retire it I can keep the body and drop something else in it if i have the money.

Who here also uses hand signals for turning and braking?
After all who can trust those new fangled turn signals and brake lights?

But hand signals weren't mentioned in the Fast and Furious so guys that think it was a documentary on how to drive don't care.

Why do you think flooring it is an issue.
The only thing I'd be wary of it revving past 3k when the engine is cold.
I like to wait to see some movement on the temp gauge before going over 3k.
This will really prevent wear on your bottom end

Couldn't you just get a new intake at the dealer?

I guess in the back of my mind I always think it's bad to do it. Although yes, letting the car warm up before shooting it to 6,000 is a good idea

After I fried my piston rings I started double clutching like I should. Maybe now the mad scientist won't have to rip apart the block.
