Nice work...lol, running from the cops is no joke, very scary shit, and not a good idea. ask me how i know. Good to hear your car is alright tho, we dont need to loose another supra.

also if i cop accuses you of doing anything wrong AT ALL, you always state that it was not you and that you were obeying the law, you are innocent until proven guilty or plead guilty, I learned this lesson the hard way as well. I was doing 75-85 mph in a 25 zone and some fag called the cops on me, 4 cops show up and harrass me and my friend forever until i finally said that if i had to guess i would say i was going 30 mph. BIG MISTAKE i took it to court and still could not get off i had to pay for a 5mph over ticket, if i would have said 25 they could have done nothing....... no proof.

Been there, done that, except the police officer did catch me going 22 MPH over the posted speed limit in that area (67 in a 45). But he knocked it down a lot since that was the first and only time I've ever been pulled over. Funny thing is, I always go about that fast through that area, it was just my dumb luck that it was a state trooper sitting there bored that night.

i ended up having a similar episode just yesterday! after heavy boosting for a couple of mins, i opened my hood to let the engine idle and lose some of the heat before i shut her down, and my manifold, turbo and dp were GLOWING....... it was pretty cool. i had a camara in my car, so i took some pics, but you can't really see too much in the dark. i thought it was cool though!

ya, i was holding well over a hundo for a couple mins. it was pretty sweet. and as for my car not running correctly, it can't be leaning out, cause i havn't tuned my car yet. the stock map is super rich, so it would have been even hotter if i had a better tune! either way, the car runs great still!

usualy what happens is you run rich lower rpms the lean at higher when you run out of fuel so you never know what is going on till you tune and get an O2 meter and stand alone knock computer

im just now reading this thread and thats awesomeness! should move to florida they have no persuit laws or some shit.

the cops on furoms thing is pretty true awhile back on the east side of florida 2 kids beat the shit out of a couple of homeless people and they werent caught for awhile when the video got on southfloridaracing.com they knew the kids and said their names had like a 45 page thread on it the cops read it and busted the kids but that was murder not speeding so prolly a bit more serious.

glad to see your and your car are ok 170 is fuckin nuts!
