I think you need your own site or at least a section is this forum that is a showcase for you tuning products.

Victor is like Dr. Frankenstein trying to create a beast from a beast.

Hey.. That's not a bad idea... You think the mods will give me my own corner??

Thanks Big Luv!

I think I am going to collect all this stuff together and make some web pages out of it so if anyone wants to look it will always be online somewhere.

My hat's off to Victor!! I look forward to the daily progress on each of his projects. He really has made this forum exciting again but unfortunately he is also making my pocketbook lighter.

All you need to do is speak to this guy for 5 minutes to realize what an incredible enthusiast he is. I cannot wait to see and feel the CF air-box and 80mm TB in my car.

Two thumbs up for Vic!!

Whatever you need that I can help with, I would be glad to do. Just let me know what you need.

Dave .. Thank you for the nice words! It was an absolute pleasure talking with you.. Regardless of what you decided to get, I just wanted to make sure you had all the info you needed to make the right decision.

Hey maybe you can ask the wife to put aside a monthly budget.. Let me know what the amount is, and I'll find a way for you to spend it on something.. Cams? New shiney exhuast? LOL..

Hey Jim! Nahh.. They dont know me... They just know there are 2 crazy guys in Toronto that are ordering all these special AMG parts... When I start getting emails from them, then I'll be happy!! Although, they do have my name from the credit card receipts... Does that count?? LOL...

Thanks again buddy!! Best of luck on your side!! Dont hesitate to call if you need any info.. And, once that TB arrives down there, if the tech has any questions, just give him my cell #..

Hahaha.. Maybe I should setup webcams and do remote learning for installation of all this stuff??? What do you think??
