I'm too hungover to study, I want some food but I don't feel like making any, I don't feel like doing my washing today.

LoL! Thanks everyone. I'm working on getting some more videos up, but first I'm going to change out my brakes (R1 Premium Rotors, SS Brake Lines, OEM Pads), fix a suspension "clunk" on my rear passenger side (think either my strut went bad or the spring popped out of its grove), install Ghostrider Camber Kit, get some Michelin Super Sport tires, 10mm H&R Front/Rear spacers, 4 wheel alignment, and Kleemann TCU; give me a month or two!

Carlos, in regards to the Quaife, PM me when you start getting quotes - I've priced one out (I have to import it) and have another quote for the install, I'd like to compare with what you get. Cheers.

You got it brotha!
But I imagine your quotes will be much higher (import duties, etc) than ones I'll be getting.

Unfortunately I'm 100% they will be quite a bit higher but I want to compare the actual unit cost (no ship/duties) to see the difference.

You should come out with your MBJunkies brothers to the Euro Meet in San Diego next month and check it out in person! It's not too far from Camp Pendleton.

Just some observations with the SC now that I have a few miles on it:
* I always drive with esp off (not dyno mode, I want to retain ABS), if not the nanny will make you look like a chump at the worse times.
* You WILL go sideways on a hard launch from a stop (so a LSD is a top priority)
* Under normal driving, I'm getting 24MPG city and 30MPG Hwy
* All non boosted cars you drive will seem gutless (TORQUE)
