Hope you got the cash to burn!!!

Everyone keeps telling us to research, and search well listen here. I've been involved in online forums for at least 4 or five years. Most of which are computer security and networking forums where I am an expert. When someone asks a question I help them, or point them in the right direction, not say some dumb **** like SEARCH. I do search, but I-Club needs to be powered by google because this forum has a weak search feature. Either way, if you don't want to help me just don't say anything. If you have something helpfull to say then I really appriciate it.

I actually like Nate's ambitions for his car! Needs a little work in the engine management, power delivery and engine internals side of things but at least he's asking and not going all nutz.
I say we all just encourage him and let him go for broke! Besides, he does have a GC8 on the side if his STi blows up

I have the answer, which will simplify some of the concerns that people with questions (like Keirnna) have and people that make comments. If you don't race in some capacity (that would be people like silver satin) then don't make suggestions because it has no real meaning. Sounds like you have your own problems thinking for one second a 97 BMW anything is worth selling your STI for. Now, if i see the word research again i'm leaving i-club for good. Some of the experts like Cobb, TurboXS, dyno-comp, and people at ralley sport direct can't even agree on what is good or bad for the STI engine. Should i look at forums of the opinions of mostly non-racing people to gain an understanding of what i should or should not do? I understand its hard to except and it angers some of you that someone has the resources and is willing to do things to their car that you could only dream of doing. This is known as hating and i suggest that you get over it will quick. Keirnna is trying to become the fastest Subaru in Hawaii and instead of telling him you can't do this or you can't do that just don't say anything at all. Haven't you heard the phrase "if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all." I'm currently tied for the fastest STI time in Hawaii (13.03) and do you see me hating. I like a challenge, because it motivates me to push harder. Again, people with negative comments please think twice the next time you say research because, to put in nicely, you don't even understand what that word actually means.

Nate,
I can't access my email at all. I'm at Army Recruiting school and their firewall is a *****. I can see the email headers that I receive, but can't download the message. Could you PM me with the email that you sent?
