Boxpin sounds awesome and keep pouring the money into it! Pretty soon the only thing left will be an all new custom leather interior and you know where to get that.

BTW. I found very close leather and vinyl matches for the factory tan.

Are you getting that kit from IPD? I was checking that out in the catalog the other day. I would like to get it for my T-5R. I know that would make it a better sleeper, being yellow and all but I'd rather put it in a wagon, more of a sleeper.

BTW, I hate you to...

Well I just bought the downpipe. I wanted to do the exhaust myself. I wanted it to be a bit quieter than the full OBX or IPD so I went with a flowmaster.

Odd thing when it came to purchasing new OBX V-band flanges...the OBX did not match up to the OBX downpipe. Discouraging so I welded the new flange to the end of the existing flange and will move on from there.

wheel horse power as apposed to horse power. How much power you're actually putting at the wheels. Like stock T5s are 222hp, which is probably more like 180-200ish or so whp. Especially with auto transmissions that cause you loose quite a few whp.

LOL wait for a local show when someone shows up with the dyno and does a special for like 3 pulls for like $25.00 or so.
I would really like to see the numbers after you get the car all done.

My Goal on Yellow is to hit the 300HP mark to the wheels. Then after the motor gives out it will become a heavy duty motor and then be pushed to more like 325-350 area.
