Don't worry, you'll get used to it...then want more! I remember when I went from NA four bangers and rotaries to the boosted Supra and just the amazing feeling of the stock power of the 7M-GTE over my previous cars. Unfortunately I've gotten use to it now so I've decided to pursue an engine swap :evil2:

haha yeah

oh btw just a little heads up STRi gauges are the shit

Its the reverse lit kind where its all back and then when you turn on the car it lights up orange and it was only freaking 75 bucks

the guy from the shop that i order my parts from knew that i was on a budget and found them theyre basicly like generic defi from japan. Even the guy was super amazed at how nice they were haha

I normally wouldn't do that when someone I love is in the car with me.

i didn't mean to, i just wanted to get ahead of cars on the side of me, there were 2 lanes on the on ramp, and it hd a slight curve and a little banking going on

it would be fun until you post it here and get jumped on by 90% of the forum that "doesn't condone unsafe driving" yet think its ok if the conditions are right, witch never seems to be the case in the eyes of said 90% of forum. :biglaugh:

You know, sometimes, if you back off the throttle just enough to gain traction, you'll actually straighten out, and accelerate forward with more speed. I guess practice makes perfect....
