Guess what I'm doing... (hint: picking up a 951)



Completely stock 65k mile car w/ sport seats.

Oh. hells. yes.

Let's take bets on how long it stays stock... lol.

Leaving out of here (East of Atlanta) Thursday night for the long haul to WEST Texas. Yippie.

Should be an interesting drive.



I'll post pics when I pick it up!!

Congrats. Are you planning on going big with it? What made you want to get another 951?

Speedy - what are you talking about?
What made me get another?
Hah! I couldn't stand not having one!!
I almost bought a Mitsubishi EVO 9, but it just wasn't good enough.

Going big? Hmm.... Vitesse goodies... oh yes.

Maybe you would be so kind as to let me have some seat time in your creation? I can't wait to see it at the tail of the dragon.

I hope your pick up goes without a hitch.

Speedy

WHen I bought my 951, I thought to myself, "well, jumping from 140hp to 220 is a big performance boost. I bet I'll be happy with a stock 951 for awhile." Sure, I love the 951 in stock form, but the temptation for easy, cheap HP is overwhelming.

About 4 months later, and I have a chips set, boost enhancer, custom-built BOV...

Hah!
My last 951 lasted about 2 weeks before it had 55lb injectors and 18psi vitesse chips in it.

This one is probably going to skip that step... hehehe...
