That's alot of money for an extra 40 hp. The amount of time quoted seems excessive. I would guess it would be more like half of that.

I want to hear the story as well. My brother had an 87' Grand National. Which might be my next car.

I am still wondering what happened to cornerspeed92...

OzzySS · 01-15-2013, 01:54 PM

He has angered the forum gods!

Good question tho...he sent me a DVD of some of his gopro footage so I could help him get it posted. I think I know what his audio problem is, but I can't fix it with what he gave me.

well i am hoping it is just temporary .... his account is still active so they didn't axe him completely

scubadoo7 · 01-15-2013, 03:09 PM

What could he have said, to have his account suspended? Bad language, lol, I really don't know what it could be.

OzzySS · 01-15-2013, 03:45 PM

He did post once or twice about that dry wash system...think he was a distributor? Not sure, but that could be a violation of the ToU for a regular acct

He and Lio have left the building. I'm sure we'll hear from Cornerspeed again. I know he's planning to track his car.
