I know...right??!! i've been wanting this for so long just waited for the right ones on classifieds to pop up instead of spending a fortune at the dealership. i got lucky this time because it's still so nice. I love the fact that the driver side goes to the dead pedal area too. Little TLC and meguirs on it..and you never knew it was used..LOL..

Hey hector,

lmk when you're here in SF
I'll be graduating from davis (hopefully) the end of this spring, so I'll be down to do some fun stuff (car meets). Road trip to SoCal and meet other members on this board.

I think I bought my eisenmann race from you.
Or someone else who was also named Hector from the east side, haha


Being dropped in SF just means you shouldn't drive on certain roads.. I come back some weekends from Davis, and the roads are just killer on the car =.=

Sounds good man..i'll be in SF no later than July 19 and that's for good. The exhaust you got might be from a different hector though..hehe..

I plan to do some road trips eventually wanna meet some socal dudes. I really wanna get my exhaust done like Rolnn's eventually..maybe in hms or something.

roads are pretty bad right now where I live because of massive construction around where I work and they're still building the highways around cowboys stadium.
