Well, it looks like the install is going to be pushed back again for my turbo install, I got pulled over for some BS tickets today and they threw the book at me. I was sitting in traffic when a cop saw that I had my windows tinted, then he got behind me and pulled me over, gave me 3 tickets, one for modified exhaust, another for illegal tint and another for having a Texas inspection sticker with Louisiana plates.

break down of costs of tickets:

Modified exhaust $250
Wrong Inspection sticker $250
Illegal tint $120
Total cost $620

**** that, I have to get it fixed, I don't have that kinda money to blow. They are cracking down on imports ever since those guys that were "Street racing" they really were not racing, it was just some young punk trying to show off in a new hooked up mustang that he couldn't control the car and killed those 4 people when he lost control. Since then, they have been cracking down on cars that look like they would be street racers. I have an import, so off course I must race my car right??? Thats total bull****, I bring my car to the track, I keep it off the road. They never pull over other people such as trucks, muscle cars, family cars, bikes or anyone else over for any of the things that I got tickets for. Yet all you see day in and day out are jacked up 4x4 trucks with loud ass straight pipes, tinted windows with stereo systems blaring, but they never get pulled over.

Sorry for the rant, I am just pissed.
That stinks! I have a question. You said your putting a turbo on. (expensive) You got a ticket thats gonna cost you ~$600 and 'you don't have that kind of money to blow?'

btw: I'm in love with that black Type-S. It would be the perfect car if the wheels were not gold. Put the stock Si wheels on it and I bet it looks UNREAL sick. (obviously change the tire, too)
