I told you a few weeks ago that Ryan hit Speedtech's show n' shine and threw his car up on the Dyno there. I also told you what numbers he made: here is the proof. The above pull was the last one... made with 20 pounds of boost. [...] And this was 18pounds if I remember correctly. At the time boost made was crystal clear... but now it's all hazy. [...]

As I mentioned, the headrests on my Recaro’s are wonking. On one the headrest just flops up and down loosely in the seat back, and on the other one the headrest doesn’t move at all.

This set is currently listed on yahoo auctions japan for a reasonable price... but shipping just kills it all. There is also a similarly upholstered set of Recaro LX on eBay right now... although not in great condition at all [...]

Does anyone else actually feel the same way as I do about Zenkei red seats? I hunted for a while trying to find a suitable replacement fabric. DeGreeve Auto Upholstery in Calgary managed to find me something good though. I should note... that auto upholstery places are the places to hit. Forget Fabric land or your grandma's upholstery store... they leave you feeling empty inside [...]
