so it definitely sucked having to be towed up my street into my neighborhood after  50 mile trip from DC in the middle of a snow storm. Had no issues but visibility on our way home Saturday morning and then I get to my neighborhood in PW county and get stuck trying to get up the street. It was wild... This dude barely got a chain underneath because of the car bein low.

It is horrible here. My car is still burried. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

I pulled a muscle/ strained my back digging my gf's car outa the snow yesterday...and even though the roads are bad, me and my gf both still got to report into work. It sucks!!! I can barely walk straight with my injured back. sigh. Good thing i got some muscle relaxers left from last time i pulled my back. Well for those of yall who dont have to work today, enjoy it for me too cuz ya'll are lucky!! The state shoulda declared a state of emergency and shutdown all businesses and roads so we can all remain home safely so that VDOT could clean the deng roads; it's too deng treacherous out there.

wow Dave, that looks similar to how my gf's car was covered, except the front was covered up to the same height of the hood and stretched out about another car length of snow is how much i had to diggup. I had no shovel so we had to use the ghetto cooking pots method. LOL

[Icebox]

that is extremely ghetto, in that case i would just wait for it to melt. thank god i have the truck other wise i wouldnt be able to get out of my driveway.

So my saturday night consisted of my Buddy picking me up in his Jeep Commander and us going sledding over by my old hs, then we were like

"OMG! have u all noticed anything? theres not a cop on the road!!"

So we got some rope and went road sledding,.. got up to 45 off of my road,..
Yea freakin awesome!!

On another note Im at Ptuning now getting tuned, should be fun! wish me luck!!

[BliNx197]

First Dyno Run off of the map I created was 202.9 whp not bad considering I have no idea how to tune,.. although it is cold as all hell at the moment so prolly making a good amount more than I usually would

[Icebox]

Not bad. I wanna see at least 230!

[JulsV6]

road sledding sounds like fun shit!! haha.
There's crazy traffic over this way by fair oaks mall and fairlakes right now. Shouldnt ppl be stayin at home today and not going out? since their job was closed due to treacherous road conditions? Boy, do people ever listen?!!!!- ruins it for others; no wonder why i had to go to work today. smh

[Icebox]

the road sledding is crazy. its been a while for me but we used to do it with snowboards, so it was like some urban wakeboarding.

Alright so Ill post up some Dyno graph pics later but the engine with test pipe and an extremely small post cat exhaust flange which will be fixed soon, also a rotting exhaust which will also be replaced

211.4whp and 165lbs.tq.

I wasnt exactly impressed with the #s when looking at the graphs, although this was a DynoDynamics Dyno and doing a lil internet searching Ive seen them run anywhere from 10-20% lower than a Dynojet. This specific Dyno at Ptuning has rated Stock STIs at 225awhp and stock ap1 s2000s at 195rwhp to give you an idea of the difference. Also the guy working their said one of his friends with a k20/k24 dynoed at 208whp with the same internals so porting the head and the test pipe mustve helped.

Vtec engages at 3800rpms, I know sounds low but it actually makes pretty good tq and pulls strong. the tuner said its alright to move it up about 500rpms if I feel it necessary since the map is tuned for it.3rd gear is soooo damn tall in k24s tho so its kinda hard to downshift n pull unless I go to 2nd, although off the line the car is extremely fun and breaks 80 damn quick.

Its drives a bit rough tho since it wasnt street tuned and Im not 100% sure the tuner knew everything he was doing he said he had tuned s2000s before on kpro. Not the best choice on my part so Ill be retuning here in the near future but for now Im just enjoying the car

[Stheman]

Damn all of you having a hell of the time in the snow. I was out driving in my truck and saw wrecked cars and people spinning out all over the place because they don't know how to drive

[Abailey4]

I hope everybody had a great Christmas! Who got what!?

[Icebox]

had a great one and i hope you and ashley did too! got a new netbook to manage the kpro and some other misc stuff. u?
