Mr. Prime Minister Posts: 675 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: May 10, 2006 Origin Board VPTuning Name Sean Location Denton	Cool. I'm sure this thread will be bombarded by the Houston guys very soon. They get together a lot more often than anyone else, it seems. You shouldn't have to wait long for a meet.

Let me know if you wanna meet up. We do have more official meets, but wednesday is something juan and i do religiously. Used to do a monthly meet for all the other local members, but haven't done it in a while. May need to kick start that back up again soon tho. Keep an eye in this forum for the Columbus, TX meet on Oct. 31, 20 minutes past Sealy. PM me if you want my number to meet up this week.

There used to be a guy in town with a BTCC replica, but that was probably almost a decade ago. The only S40's anybody mod now are the P2's and theres a few of them in town, but they don't really hang with us or post on any of the boards for that matter.

Hmm well i guess ill be one of the only ph1's here really theres not to much of a difference in a ph2 and ph1 aside from the corner lights and the turbo. Anyway mine will be back soon so i can meet up with you guys.

Like Mr. Miyagi with more redneck Posts: 1,790 Group: Admin Member #2 Joined: May 10, 2006 Origin Board Volvospeed Name Jon Location Houston, TX	no where in texas sorry. Speedtuning, Upsolute and Inmotion are going to be your cheapest tunes. IPD, EST, RICA and BSR are on your high end of things.
