good memories though. good memories. imagine if the kkk had never died. id probably never have gone for silly manifolds. and imagine if id never got it on the rollers and seen the std ecu and electrical set up with phase chips was shite, id never have got programmeable, and see if id never made as much power as it did, id never have wanted more etc etc.
good times in a weird way.

Why would your friends think that because of the car you drive. Seems realy shallow.
