Hi Chris. It was nice to meet you earlier today, and I look forward to seeing some of the MM gang around here. MM has a great selection of parts and the 4wd dyno is awesome. :) You're gonna need an employee discount to keep yourself in tires with that turbo. :D

There is a car show in Kingsport next Saturday that's part of Funfest, but that's all I've heard about so far for next weekend up here.

Hey guys. I usually surf the Knoxville forum since that's where most of my time is spent for school and all. However, I am originally from Kingsport. I am here for about 2 weeks until I must return to school.

I drive a 2001 Cool White Jetta GLS. If you ever see me, throw up the deuces.

Hi Ben, it was nice to meet you yesterday, and I wanted to say thanks again for your help and everyone else's at MM with our dyno tuning. I was happy with how the tuning went, although you always want more power, right?

You'll have to take me for a ride in the Mitsu after you get it back together; I bet it will be strong. I'll try to stop back by soon.

RedGTS

My best was 554 rwhp/587 rwtq, and I think Brian's numbers were a little higher than mine but very close, maybe 560/593 or something. It is a Dynojet 248, 4wd model. Of course we only needed 2 rollers. :D

RedGTS

Andy, it has all the standard bolt-ons plus a non-standard bolt-on that adds 5 psi of pressure to the intake manifold. :D Not a lot of boost, but then again a little goes a long way with 8 liters of displacement. ;)

MM's skyline is the shit. is sucks i didn't get the chance to see it run at street fights. looks better painted black.

The supra sidemount is atleast 3 times bigger I think, maybe a little more than that, plus it was free, so i had to go with it.

And thanx to CurbCheckSS for the compliment

Well, I finally got most of the bugs worked out of my car. I should be able to start racking up the rest of my break in miles next week. So, if you see a black 300ZX rolling around give me a yell.
