Hey where can I get one of those ***-rammer seat conversions at? I bet APC is in the works on a lighted model. I'll take mine in neon pink with green lights that flash to the bass beat from my Bazooka NOS bass tube.

My gauge never gets up to halfway on the temp gauge unless I'm in the summer. In like 30 degrees, the car at full warmth gets to about 1/3 or 1/4 of the way up on the gauge. Is that bad? anything going wrong?

I can't remember what vacuum line my boost guage is connected to, but the guage does not read anything but 0 until my car fully reaches operating temperature. Then, when it drops it to vacuum, I know it's safe to start building boost.
Not only does it wear hard on your engine to get on it while it's cold, I've noticed that my car is much quicker once it's warmed up. It's just like anything, you wouldn't go running or work out without warming up first, unless you want to pull a muscle.
