I heard it was like 118 in Woodland Hills yestrday. I'm so glad it's cool right now. Infact, after I'm done enjoying an afternoon brunch, I think I will take a bike ride. Have fun in the heat!

Also, steve, why are you enlarging the intake? Do you have to do that to the AGS for some reaon? And get that damper on. I want to hear other people's reviews.

Just the hole in the front, above the radiator shroud to let more air into the engine compartment in front of the filter.

I don;t think I need studded tires. I just want all season tires that I can get around on.

Also, I'm ordering some filk wasps soon, THey are dirt cheep and light. I will use them as my sole track tire. That means r-compound :D

The size works. I just don;t think I can afford a regular set of tires, a winter set of tires and a track set of tires right now. It's going to cost me alot just to replace my normal tires...

The fronts are still fine, but I only have 5% left on thhe rears. THey were alot of fun doing 90 mph when i was in a major downpour... That was one of the few times I felt scared beause of loss of control while I've been driving that car... THe back just felt like it was hanging out there behind me...

Yeah, I read about the larger roots kit that may be put out, that would sound killer with an AGS!

Just Read The Whole Thread. If You Have Or Want To Spend 3k+ And Really Need That Much More Hp Go For It. I Would Love To Have More Hp, But I Dont Think I Need It. When I Can Say That I Am Able To Take My Mini To The Limit Of What She Can Do Then I Will Consider Adding More Hp.
