ohhh your getting powdercoating equipment? I was thinking about it a while back. My friend and I were gonna start something up since we both wanted to powdercoat so many parts. lol. Lemme know when you get that goin'.
I don't have the money for boost right now. It's somethin' like $4k. Plus I'm not sure on the whole SC vs. Turbo deal. I haven't researched it for our cars yet. SC seems nice for our cars though.
On another note, I went up to Waffle House offa 210 and noticed a truck scale at the gas station. I went in and asked them about and it they said it'd be fine if I wanted to weigh my car, so I did.

It weighed 3100lbs w/ me in it, along with all my extra junk in the car. (school books, detailing supplies, sound system, jackets, ect ect) Take me (all 150lbs of me, lol) and the crap outta the equation and I'm lookin at a 2900lb car.

Still a lot heavier than anything I'm used to, but less than I expected.
