Return to Stock Exhaust

Posted 11-10-2009 at 06:51 PM by KS-CS

Well, it's been about 8 months since I installed my Fabspeed Catback exhaust - and I guess I've finally had enough of the drone.

I really like how it sounds under full throttle, and on the track, and have appreciated whatever HP increase it provided; but, as a daily driver, with a Tiptronic that frequently holds the RPMs right in the drone zone when driving around town, I decided to switch back to my stock exhaust.

I did decide to add the DREAM-1 exhaust collector.

I was fortunate enough to be able to drive the entire Blue Ridge Parkway this past weekend, from it's beginning point in Virginia all the way to the end in Cherokee, NC. It has been many years since I've driven the whole length, and this was truly a trip to remember.



My wife was participating on a team running the Blue Ridge Relay Run (12 people running 208 miles from Mt. Rogers, VA to Asheville,...

Prizm Administrative Solutions???

Posted 09-08-2009 at 03:56 PM by KmanBlue

Apparently it extended the warranty by 10,000 miles and 2 years. The warranty was transferred to me when I bought the car. Has anyone bought the warranty? ....used it??? I know nothing about it, how to use it (hope I never will need it!!), what it covers, etc. I bought the car in the U.S. and brought it back...

Well, it's taken me a while to get around to posting (here anyway) about last weekends DE at Carolina Motorsports Park, but I've got to say it was an absolute blast! Easily my best track experience to date. (Not that there have been that many...)

I got on the road much later than I had planned, but made the 3-hour drive down to Camden, SC last Friday evening and checked into the hotel the Hurricane Region PCA was using as their headquarters for the weekend. It was nice spot and...

Gorgeous weather for August in Hallett, Oklahoma, and a few pics of a fun day at the track:



Robert, who I made carsick a few months ago when I gave him a ride-along in my car, paid me back by outrunning me in his new, tricked-out JCW Mini Cooper S. I could still beat him down the straights, but with his Hoosiers, and me on NT05s, I couldn't hang with him through the turns.
