Fly you from ft collins to castle rock?

I guess I could if I rented a 172.

man, the greddy + emanage + jimb pipes are CAKE compared to this install, but it's done. My tuner is coming over tomorrow or saturday to do a little road tuning then we'll dyno tune her. Assuming it all works

about 38 miles to the north. I'm smack in the middle between the springs and denver. Let me know, aside from a wonky work schedule I'll be around.

the monaro front end is much nicer. I might convert mine over to the monaro lights and bumper.

Sounds like a cue to start saving for that cobra rear.

Talk about a tight fit- but very clean install. The average joe would never know it was there... "uh yeah... that's my a/c compressor"
