Like I said its not and was not a problem. I caught it removed it. No big deal this isn't my first custom boosted car. I feel bad for posting the thread I hope I have not deterred any potential buyers for Vortech

I want to do this like NOW!

I just spend $2k on my car though so I gotta wait a bit. I can't let myself get too outta control.

That, and I need new golf clubs.

The old ones weren't mine initially and are absolute crap. Great set to learn the game with but I need my own. I've been playing a few years and I believe they really are the barrier to my progress.

I feel like if I let my FR-S become my only hobby then I'll put way too many miles on it on the weekends.

I won't be there on the 25th of May to let you try the Vortech. I'll be on a camping trip that starts on the 24th.
