Got into Greensboro last night, ran around with Eric and his cronies for a while, stayed up waay too late with a good friend that I hadn't seen in a while, then hit the track early this morning with Eric and his girlfriend Monica.

EMS is cool. Programming the EMS while you're running down the 1320 is even cooler. But not being able to tune it far enough to get below a 14.6 isn't cool.

Fun was had all the same, and Streetmonster didn't break anything! :pow:

Highlights:

low 13-second stock-looking neon. awesome ****:

Hah!

Talk about an unflattering picture, huh Brick9?! :D (does anyone else think he looks a little like Johnny Rotten?)

And friends: We(Bitjockey,Brick9, and Streetmonster) took it upon ourselves to judge and vote for Turbobricksters everywhere and choose the girl in the yellow bikini :badboy: .........Can I get a hell yeah!!!!!!!!
:booty: :booty: :booty: :booty: :booty: :booty: :booty:

And I drove home in the "Ill Swede" this time! No flatbed ridin for ol' Streetmonster. Nope, no broken parts. Just sunburn and a realization that my turbo is in its twilight years....... :cry:

Lesson learned from last time: No dry burn outs! That water is there for a reason. Back into it though, dont want water on the front tires. You'll carry it up the track..........

And thats all I have to say about that.............

What Robin didn't tell you was that there was still juice in it when he hit it.

if that were an S4, the lower valence would be painted body color... a color S4's were never painted (yellow).

Thats actually a 1999.5 A4, with a stage III turbo kit, obviously untuned.

Hi, who is using the SMT6 unit? I have an SMT 5 that I just finished setting up, but I haven't tuned w/ it yet, because I haven't had the time to do the global settings etc (and Perfectpower doesn't have a library). What are you using for global settings?

Oh yeah? I've got video of you absolutely ****ing up this eclipse... remember that one?

I'll try and capture it tonight or tomorrow and get it up.

Still feeling a little woozy after that nitrous..
