the little money we make over there is not worth it

 

i dont understand america,

our soldiers put their life at risk to serve their country and get paid pennies,

our athletes drink gatorade and shoot baskets and take home MILLIONS

something isnt right.....

 

hey whats up guys, im running in my 05 wrx

ihivf22
sti pinks/walbro 255
helix dp/ dc up pipe
gruppe-s manifold
apexi turbo back
cobb tuned

and my question is, they told me with all that i sould be tuned @275-280 awhp and 265-270 tourque does that sound rite or should i be makeing more power, just courious what you guys think.

 

maybe if they put up a scoreboard and televised it? =\

 

I would try for more power than that. I have 245ft lbs torque on the stock 06 turbo and a stage two setup.

 

well also depends where u r going for the tune. If you go to gst u might be a little disappointed with ur #'s. It's the heartbreak dyno. But if you go to FLI ur #'s might be higher but a lot of people don't like the tuner.

 

it seems like professional athletes do get paid way too much, but life's a trade off and any one can do anything. its just a matter of what you are willing to give up. for some, the cost of doing what they love is low and for others it may be relatively high, which is kind of a luck thing, but regaurdless everyone is giving up something.

(i.e. how many people in the low budget drift world were pissed at nick hogan for getting to drive the mopar viper...former car of the world drift champ??? not to mention he crashed it ...twice.)

athletes are advertisements and entertainment and our army is muscle to get things done. soldiers are putting their lives in harms way for multiple reasons, some for their family and friends, others because its what they truely want to do, but for a bulk of young people that sign up its probably because they dont know what they want to do yet and/or feel like they have limited options for whatever reason.

i appreciate all our armed forces and in a better world they would make more for what they do, they have hard jobs that keep them from those they love. although im sure a lot of them make more than pro athletes do, not in terms of income , but in terms of who they are and what they stand for.

i dont mean to offend anyone since i know alot of you guys are military, so correct me if i am wrong.

 

You're right. It's all waht the person makes of it. I dropped out of college with a full ride scholarship in music to join the military. I may not be rich, but not many people can say they have experienced the amount of growth that I have. It's the same for everyone who has served or serving.

 

Im not in any way condoning athletes, i think they are grossley over paid for a spectator sport.

Michael Schumacher & Tiger Woods each take home 90 million per year.

THAT IS FING RIDICULOUS>

Each and every person in our Military,

I SALUTE YOU!!!

THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR COUNTRY!!

If it were up to me, all of you would be making 90 million per year.

To sum it up, **** TIGER WOODS AND **** MICHAEL SCHUMACHER

 

Hello everyone. I am announcing the start of my installation services. I'm keeping it with in this thread for now to see how things work out. I have done extensive work inside and out of Imprezas for over three years and have been working on cars in general for over ten. I have done jobs for a few people here who attend this meet and else were to include; clutch, engine removal, turbo, exhaust, external engine components, suspension, and more.
