    Interesting posts.

    All I have done is BPU mods on the VR-4 and left the RT/TT pretty much strock. Like the other post, I prefer to only replace those parts that makes stock weak, like wheels, exhaust, turbos. I think Ray's latest build with his red car is the right mindset.

    Minus, the turbos I've got what I need to build a 450'ish awh car. I just need the motivation to do it.

    You did handle that awfully well. I was like, "it doesn't seem to faze him, is he going to shoot himself in the head later"?

    The moment you want to throw a wrench, is the moment you go inside and play some Skyrim.

    SWTOR has been my Achilles - luckily I'm getting fed up with it and can now focus on the rides,

    Care to elaborate? I recently chose regular new rotors over slotted or drilled, mainly due to price, but wondered if I made the wrong choice.

    I used to want to play Skyrim, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

    He is wrong about that one, slotted will stop a car better but it will wear your pads a lot quicker. It's like a cheese grater, it gives resistance but shreds the material.
