i noticed a slight chirp this morning when i started it. someone else had told the idlers were junk as well. maybe ill do the belt, crank and idler pulleys in one shot. im just about to break 49k, so im sure its due.......

thats a nice timeslip. MIR is usually a pretty quick track. were lucky in this area. there are a lot of fast places to run without driving ten hours.

it looks like the renntech airbox didn't do much for you. i think most headers add around 20rwhp. would be nice to see if anyone actually dynoed their car w/ only the airbox.

so ur car now has 330 to the wheel. i bet you can actually beat the new m3. that pretty cool.

good luck w/ ur project bro. car is becoming a beast
