What's with the squiggly line on the glass?

I dunno I thought maybe Nurburgring? But that's not it...

You guys seriously don't recognize the Ring when you see it?

[giant_mtb]

I thought they were both being facetious.

I thought that at first...

Is that the track where they hold the 24 Hours of LeMans?

doesn't look like that on google maps. And that's all that counts.

You need to zoom out my friend...

I think that's the F1 course, not the nordschliefe.

zoom? there is no zoom...............................................................................

It's got too many turns anyway. I don't like that track. The 14 turns at Road America could frustrate me for years.

Right. Not a good track for seeking that perfect lap on.

still, I'd like to drive it one day.

It's so hard to not fuck up on a short track. It would be impossible for me there.

The turns are also too fast with no runoff. No thanks.

[AutobahnSHO]

Yeah but those straightaways and the "OH CRAP" thinking you are going into a turn too hot- until you learn some of the corners you can just blast through...

[MrH]

It's a brutal, unforgiving track.  If your goal is to put down perfect lap times, yeah, it'll frustrate you for sure.

What's with the squiggly line on the glass?

Also, FYI for all forum members, I provide free car sitting. That includes washing, waxing/polishing, premium fuel and indoor storage.

I'll take a free wash and wax please!

Still alive, I see.

248whp on 5psi.  w0w.

I'd be right around 200whp at the moment, so that's significantly quicker than my car.

[MrH]

I saw that on the forums.  $3600 is the unofficial asking price for the whole deal...

The turbo is actually placed in a great spot compared to the competition, only 5 psi, bolts up to the stock cat, just uses new headers.  Comes with a base tune, and the torque curve is fuckin great.  AVO is awesome.

Their setups are so clean and stock looking.  If the expected raise coming in the next 6-8 months is what I think it's going to be, it's going to be tough to say no to this. 300 hp at the crank or so.  That's a power to weight ratio somewhere between a 370Z and a SS camaro.  Probably about a 5.3-5.5 sec 0-60, mid 13s in the quarter mile.

[S204STi]

Yeah, pretty fucking quick, and still balanced handling.

I would love to run an AVO-powered 99-2001 2.5RS Impreza if I have to ever sell this one.

[MrH]

And they're purposely giving it unequal length headers to give it that signature boxer burble...

These guys know how to win potential customers over.

[S204STi]

Agreed, the exhaust note is definitely better on this than a stock 86.

[S204STi]

Fuck the RS, if I ever make decent money I'd go for a BRZ with this kit.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Agreed, the exhaust note is definitely better on this than a stock 86.

But is it still 86mm in diameter.

[S204STi]

Yes.

[hotrodalex]

That car is ruined. Too much power.

I'm going to have to bring this up again:
