<-turbo noobhttp://www.shop.trickperformanceproducts.com/Stage-1-Hotpipe-kit-Stage-1-hot-pipes.htmAnd a turbo & tune ought to work no?Thought this might be better that doing all custom. Is that crazy?

That is only the hot side piping. You also need the cold side with an intercooler and all the plumbing. Also have to figure out what turbos you want, fuel system upgrades, oiling system for turbos and other odds and ends fittings and couplers
Intercooler, BOV and Turbo may come from elsewhere. I suppose a kit really makes sense though.

Umm, yeah. Bought a car.

 

 

That one with 87k miles?  

 

Hows it feel to own a GM product again?

 

I only did it because Seth convinced me.

 

Sean back in a GM...

Heated seats are awesome in a convertible. Many winter days with my buddies Audi and the top dropped.

 

Already done by the previous owner in the Miata :D

Can't wait to register it and drive around, top down, in freezing weather. Douche-meter is going to be off the charts :D

Keep the cold and snow in places where you can ski and it's all good :D

It is far easier ordering a kit.

Talked to Kyle from KB Performance tonight. $4k for a kit. Curious to see what components he is going to include in that.

$4k is pretty cheap for a kit. find out what turbos, wastegates and blow off valves are being used and find out if it comes with larger fuel injectors and turbo oiling system. usually a good kit will run you around $5-$6k.

My boss owns several businesses. One of them is a scooter shop (who is becoming a Triumph dealership as of Jan 1), and they are downstairs of one of our buildings... the one I work in, in fact. I have gotten to know the mechanics down there pretty well as I help them with electrical diag when they get stuck. One of the guys down there saw my vape and he got all excited about it. He is generally very quiet, and even though I have known him since July I think he has uttered 10 words to me. But we got to talking about it.

 

He is a huge vape guy. He brought in several of his pens and a home made pipe he has for vaping. He has several that I really liked (one is a $250 pen), but one that he had was really killer. I think I might pick one up. It's threads are much more common than my Halos, so I can play more with tanks, clears, carts, atomizers, and vaporizers. I stopped at a local vape shop today and bought an adapter for my Triton (the big fucker) to play with, but his Joyetech was badass...

 

joyetech-evic-5.jpg

 

It is a variable voltage unit with a digital display. It tells you the voltage, the resistance of the head and recommends a voltage setting based on this measurement, the number of puffs taken, and an estimate of the number of puffs remaining on the charge, and it tracks your usage (which is cool if you want to slow down) and it also has updatable firmware, and you can open the base unit and replace the battery if it goes dead so you don't have to buy an entirely new unit. It is a total fucking badass. At $100 it seems like a steal to me. I may get myself one very soon.

 

He asked what I vape and I told him I was totally new and was still just vaping tobacco. He brought me in a bag of about 40 different e-juices to try, and an atomizer so I can drip them. So I have a shit tone of flavors to play with, and honestly I am surprised at how much I enjoy the different flavors.

 

So far I think that Backwoods Brew's Applewood is one of my favorites. I would never have thought that I would enjoy it. My absolute favorite right now is Halo's Voodoo. It has a unique flavor that tends to change. I also like Vapornine's Rad Bull, which tastes exactly like Red Bull.

Bought the Evic here http://www.ebay.com/itm/190999923847

 

I'll let you know if it's authentic, but at that price I took the chance with their feedback.

It's currently 22 here, can believe you are complaining about 70, I would love that shit all year round.

  

Not complaining at all. I'm saying at 5am i am enjoying it being 70. The highs have been in the upper 80's.

So much of me misses the snow, but then I go outside at 5am and its 70 and suddenly i don't miss it so much.J

I like hot or cold better than 70

It's just nice enough for the women to show a little more skin, and yet comfortable enough with the humidity to not be sweating like a whore in church in work clothes. Also means the ac isn't needing to be on in the house much if at all.

Not as much as you might think. I left Buffalo and moved to San Diego. The first year was awesome. But after a couple years Christmas was depressing. No spring, no fall, no Christmas feeling winter...I was so happy to move to NC and have seasons again... I think when you grow up with seasons, not having them sucks...
