Had a great time. Ate good and had a lot of fun. A lot of bad *** cars showed up and it was the best time.

Thanks to the guys at straightline for putting this together.

Thanks guyz for taking the time to listen to our questions and putting up a good get together!
I was kind of curious on what grounds they could even attempt to do that.....

I'll shoot you a price on Monday!

Thumbs up

Great Open house all the way around. 4 hours went by so quick. It was nice meeting all the straightline guys, everybody was cool as hell and willing to chat for a little while. Tuner Mike even had time to show me how to break into their system and give myself discounts jk.

Nice meeting everybody else that was there too. There were alot of wicked cars!

They can't! not on private property, when he did not see anyone of those cars do anything illegal, but to come on and threaten to damage everyone's car! as it's being TOWED, I don't think so!

98% of cops are like that. Too bad I was grabbing my hood down the road otherwise I would have challenged him to tow my car, off of private property. There was not one loop hole he could have gone through to tow ANY of the cars on property. My lawyer loves THOSE cops.

I hope you think i'm in the 2% bracket MAtt LOL

believe ME I wanted to too, but I didn't want to put the shop on the MAP you know?
Hell those bored azzes might wanna be ******* with theri clientel before or after getting work done, and then people are not gonna want to go there for fear of getting a ticket. So I just kept my mouth shut, believe me I usually don't! but sometimes you gotta see the whole picture.
Sorry about your intake Matt you did look pissed and I just left you alone.
Let me know how it goes. Hey if you need to let off some steam come and get the T/A! I am waiting on Mike for a price on a fast 90/90. maybe we can get a deal? LOL

Yeah man, you're part of the 2%. I'm afraid that if I heard that cop saying **** while I was already pissed off, I would have snapped and called him every name in the book and got myself thrown in jail on some bullshit charges like I always do. My brother and I get into pissing matches with the NL cops all the time, too bad he was Will County. We have fun with it because there is nothing they can do because they don't actually catch us breaking the law

The intake has been fixed. Bill and I threw it on tonight, and the car will be tuned here in the next day or so. All I am waiting for is some better air, and then I'll take it back to the track.

If you go Fast 90mm intake, make sure you go with a NW or PTM throttle body. The Fast TBs are junk!
