Same here I need to save over winter to have fun in the summer ? maybe I'll just install the parts I've already purchased? Crazy I know.
there's something about seeing all the boxes add up in a pile that makes me happy.

I do also have to keep a spreadsheet of the items to install because I forget what I bought half the time

I know some don't like PRL (cough @TW00Si , cough) but 20% off the PRL intake is pretty tempting. Ok I should take it to the black friday deals thread and leave the way superior track thread alone but yeah I hate black friday, I have to save money for xmas gifts
where's the deals thread? Though I shouldn't be going there lol

I just want to make 400hp. I also am too lazy to load different map for the 5 days out of 365 that I go to the track. So I figure a turbo that provides that much potential will make 400hp easier to achieve and while allowing a conservative tune.

Is the current 360hp good enough? Yes, plenty. But I’m bored and never owned a car this fast and seeing how easy it is to get more, why not have a little more fun? Am I crazy?

Get some good coilovers and chassis modifications. Find some touge roads. You will never get bored.

There's no way this is real, but I couldn't even finish the video. If I was in the passenger seat, I would have hit the key and had him pull over at a flag station.

looking at his other videos, that's how he "drives". He's going to need a new shift fork soon enough, and well skills.

I just came here to post this video - it's so bad. I couldn't even finish it either.

Beyond just the shift fork, he needs a new engine too.

I just hope this guy doesn't instruct his students the way that he drives the lap. He's demonstrated that he can't trail brake, coasts a lot, wants to die on the climbing esses, completely overshoots roller coaster, and butchers hog pen. This lap was a mess. I've watched all of his videos at this point, and they all make me cringe.
