    my car should be on the dyno this week :) but i'll stop by to get some photos of the event.
    we should have a contest of some sort. whatever forum/club has the highest total WHP wins like 10% off parts or labor, or some sort of group buy option. just a thought, i'm in advertising, i can't help it.

    Nice..great to hear! As a reminder, even if you aren't planning to dyno your car, come and down and meet the Forge staff and have some food and bevs. Or play a game of catch with Caesar! :)

    I'd like to attend, but I work saturdays. how long do pulls take?

    depending, and if I could go first @ 930, I might be able to do it then scurry off to work.

    I may swing by and check the place out. I work till 5 tomorrow and I am about 60 seconds away. :wiggle:

    Also, got a decent GR STI catback that doesn't cost an arm and both legs? My OE exhaust started out too quiet, then sounded ok, and now sounds horrid.

    Unless that is for the 08+ STI(aka GR), it won't work.

    I had a good time today. Couldn't stay too long but saw a ton of nice cars. I didn't know there were that many GTRs running around!!
    I didn't feel like flexing my 70hp of VW power on the dyno! LOL

    Thank you Alex, for helping kicking off our first Subaru/Mits Dyno Day and Open House. It goes without saying, that the turnout far exceeded everyone's expectations. We dynoed about 20 cars, and at it's peak we had about 50-60 people and cars hanging out. It was a great time for all, and we will doing it again soon.
