lol I am playing.

Mike and CJ are great to deal with. I was just there not too long ago to get some work done. Amazing shop they have there. If you're in the Philly area, definitely go to VAC!

Man, I take too many pics - hard to sort them out! Thanks BTW

Ouch! It's a polarizing car for sure.

i didn't hate it, i just loved the fact she remembered the e36 techo-violet. she's only been brainwashed by me for less than 2 years, not bad?

CJ421 · 02-11-2012, 03:58 PM

My car ... what a turncoat ... I pay for the insurance, gas, and this is how she treats me - she decided to stay at VAC all week, apparently.

I'm so lonely now

JK!

I wonder what that'll do on 1/4 mile. Someone give kelvis a call!

skim7x · 02-11-2012, 07:41 PM

Yo MIKE! Thanks for the install today... Klevis is da man! The Cobb Stg2+FMIC ROCKKKSSSSSS... I didn't actually hear any of that oscillating drone you were mentioning... I'll keep an ear out for it though and let you know...

The car is properly fast, though... like you have to watch the speedo to make sure you're not already at rediculous 130+ speeds... I do have to admit though, it's nowhere NEAR as smooth as Dinan... Dinan is the car running on double creme... This is more like the car running on RockStar =P

Here's something interesting though... so after having the AR DP's installed, I was driving away and heard a loud hissing or really fast rattling on acceleration... so I figured that's just the wastegates and that's how it'll be (Klevis thought the same)... As soon as I install the Cobb, the rattling/hissing is GONE... and you can really hear the turbo spool now

Nice meeting turugara and CJ too... I'll try to make it to one of the King of Prussia meets soon and bring a New Jerseyan or two with me

CJ421 · 02-12-2012, 11:16 AM

Hey skim7x it was great meeting you man .... your car looks great. Like I said the condition of your paint is literally better than new.

When you get the opportunity, have VAC build the diff into a Quaife for you. Night and day .... and be sure to do the M3 subframe brushings at the same time. Money well spent, for the street or track! And you will appreciate the difference even more as an FBO car. Looking forward to seeing you at some meets.

badblkX6 · 02-12-2012, 11:54 AM

Your car looks like its in jail behind those bars Charles. So lonely.

Maybe it is tho. It will be lifting weights while at VAC and coming out stronger.

Haha

I think Klevis worked on my car too when I got my dp taken off. Hopefully he can install it and the intercooler for me again! He is tha man!

No worries man. Klevis is the man, no doubt. He is lucky to have me as a mentor and teacher (LOL)

He will, no doubt!

We attended the NASA NE Annual banquet last night. We are proud to be the GTS sponsor for 2012

GTS = German Touring Series for those not into NASA racing.

Anyways, the banquet was held at the incredible Avenue A club in Newark. The building was as beautiful as the cars inside! http://avenueaclub.com/

skim7x · 02-12-2012, 11:16 PM

thanks for the pic, bro... glad you survived your trip to my neck of the woods

Those look like some gorgeous cars on the website... Might have to go check it out myself!! I see the Miura

GTiceman · 02-13-2012, 09:37 AM

Brian_VACsales · 02-13-2012, 11:54 AM

Haha didn't think about it, since I'm in central jersey I'm rarely down in Philly! But next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to try and stop by

Brian_VACsales · 02-13-2012, 12:44 PM

Sounds like a plan.

She's a bad, BAD girl .... bad shit happens if I leave her unrestrained.

And it is a shame Atco isn't open. Don't have you have a Delorean down there Mike? Get that thing up to 88 mph and let's go back to summertime.

Brian_VACsales · 02-14-2012, 12:17 AM

Haha, yes we do
