Ha, yah seperated at birth Kristopher, problem is I am still working to get back into the 400awhp range in a clean setup.
Cam(weiss) I have KYB AGX with sprint springs, about the work spring shock combo I have tried as yet, but it is better to look good than to feel good right? ;)

On the topic of the eclipse tails, it is a pretty mild look change (front clear mitsu piece too) so it does not seem to offend any purists
if they exist, hah. Meron also found a set of the mitsu door guards to swap .

looks real good and congrats on clean power man  :)  Clean and powerful is not just for VW deisels now hehehe.

As for the camera shots, most of them can only really be improved by not centering the subject.  Google "rule of thirds"

Well, that and a VACUUM CLEANER!!  :D

I just read up on (some of) the rules of photography, thanks for the heads up John. I honestly did not know there was any psychology behind taking pictures. 

btw- a clean floor is the sign you are in touch with your feminine side....

yea and having a purple car isn't?  I guess a dirty one balances things out?

Dude, so you've gone DS-MAP huh?  Did Lowell have to do much convincing or was this planned on before heading over to RG?

In any case you'll love DS-MAP!

Later, Vlad.
all go, no show!

I actually went to RG with the dsmap in, then toooned it and burned a chip, I did not have the meth kit in so I need to go back and burn another one with waaaaay more timing for 28psi.

So far DSMAP is so far ahead of where I was with all the piggybacks its not even funny.

That's exactly what I thought when I first put it in.  That was well over a year ago and I'm still playing with my tune and tweaking some stuff.

My car is still slow though  :P

Fraser, do your self a favor and pick up an Ostrich emulator and forget about burning chips.  Tuning realtime will get your car dialed in much faster.

Later, Vlad.

yea when you can see the ground/floor from directly overtop the engine, in 4 different but the same size and shape spots, and it is like this for a long time, its depressing...

Bold words from a man with a minivan for so long.

I am jealous of your new family cruiser though...
