Very true, and it does sound really odd. Really sounds like a stock turbo about to let go.

I test drove that car for shits and giggles.It was on naff's lot.

Its a 420a with some knock off greddy (the manifold says gready) kit on it.Its also untuned,not even a fmu.It breaks up anytime it starts to spool.Also,kids a faggot.

Has anybody seen the red and blue Eclipse?Unpainted blue bodykit,rimz,etc.....Super,crazy turbo noises at any RPM above idle,and it goes nowhere at all at WOT.I've seen it several times in the last few weeks,fully boning out,but going nowhere fast.
Man, that supra was sitting there for over a year it seemed like?!

A few cars back, I was experiencing a bad vibration all of a sudden on my way to work so I pulled in there. Everyone was standing around, doing nothing, but all bays were full. I asked if someone could simply jack up the left front of my car where I had parked or let me borrow a jack real quick so I could inspect and verify if it was safe to continue driving to work or not. They said no and offered me to stick around until a bay was free and they would check it out.

I get the whole liability issue, but I think they could have lended me a jack or at least not have given me an attitude in the process. And I don't know what kind of work they do there, but cars seem to sit there forever.

The rx7 doesn't look like Woods'.

red EG hatch with red wheels and an abnoxiously loud shit can. "story" something on the license plate. i'm glad you bounced your stock d series off the rev-limiter a few times to get my attention whilst sitting right beside me in the sheetz parking lot in salem. i'm really impressed...

hopefully next time you'll do something productive and it'll throw a rod. hahaha
