    I filled my tank up a couple days ago for $24.50 @ 1.52 a gallon. Now E85 is 1.48 a gallon. Im actually saving money even though im using more fuel.

    Edit: E85 is now 1.21 a gallon.

    I think i may start shopping junkyards for a Gen V and LQ4 MAF. I have a ported gen 3 now but i like the whine of the Gen V a lot better.

    Center light section? Is it because of the emblem attached to it?

    I have Black 2002 Joseph Abboud GS with tan on the bottom I think most GS's have that 2 tone going on. Mods are CAI front Plog, ZZP TB, 3 " catted DP and 3" magnaflow catback, only a 3.5 pulley AL 104 and TStat, ZZP 10 mm wires and coil packs tuned by Will at Overkill Motorsports. Its OK for a Granny grocery getter and I like that. Surprises some people. I will post some pictures later...BTW my name is Dave from South Carolina and this is my first post

    Well, that's a little off topic but, that sounds like a nice start to a good build. Also, welcome to the forums.

    I've got one (Gen 5) that I don't want, might interest you to think about it.

    yes , it was a jab at the zzp logo. But I just realized I am guilty as fck... I have a tiny black zzp decal on my side rear window corner that you can't see. And I keep forgetting to scrape it off

    No, it's not as bad as it was. I do prefer intense (john) when I can but zzp is an easy go-to site as well.

    Found out that my "KR" is from the O2 sensor hitting the fire wall. I guess i didnt bash it enough. i ordered a rear c5 corvette o2 sensor as a remedy.
