Yeah, I do have a cheap leaf blower. It works, but after using the Metro Vac Sidekick, I would never use the leaf blower again. The Sidekick is worth every penny.

Mighty, that Z looks mighty fine! I love the calipers. Did you have Mike do those for you?

sorry to hear, pint. does that have something to do with allergies? i know some areas allergy season is different. mr.alcheng mentioned his allergy season starts now where as my farmland area in the middle of the country, we're pretty much done.

with that said, would Clartin work? it does wonders for me during late March - early May...

Claritin is a miracle drug and the only stuff that really works for me withouit making me feel like the "boy in the bubble" or an ADHD teen after 17 espressos.

I've tried Claritin and still using it but it doesn't do much. I'm going to use some standard otc eye drops until my next follow up.

I forgot to mention something to you the other day, Mr. Kenchan. I am impressed that you remembered that my current avatar is the one I originally used here. Wow -- 26+ months ago and you remembered.

Motordyne ART pipes installed!!

Demon bolt kicked the shops ***!!! Took 2.5 hrs to get the 2 bolts of that are accessed from the engine bay with a long extension. HAd to saw, heat, dremmel etc.

Anyways, worth the effort for me

Sounds amazing, more rumble/burble, better low end response! That low end torque is back. I can get the tail sideways in 2nd with VDC on!! haha, so ya, very happy with this mod.

Monday I get Uprev and dyno, so hope to really fine tune these mods and see a nice gain.
