Default the new kid

hey guys, just thought id introduce myself. Name's Travis I live in harrisonburg, noticed not a whole lot of people posting from around this area. Got a 94 hatch wit a b16, and an 03 R6. Planned on building the hatch but spent the money on the bike, and then 2 months later ended up hitting a deer on the bike. So now its the saving game before i get to do anything to either of em lol. But figured it wouldnt hurt to talk and look around til i get the money to buy from you great people lol.

nah, i was lucky everybody told me an angel must have been riding bitch with me. I was living at my parents house in timberville back in the country i was going about 90 since its a huge straight stretch. Trying to get back to my friends house to park the bike (since he had a garage and we didn't). Deer jumped off my parents driveway and I hit it head on and went over the handlebars. We measured it a few days later and i went 80 feet from impact and the bike went 270. But i walked away from it with a sprained ankle, bruised ribs, and 3 road rash spots about the size of a quarter. I know i got lucky and thank the big man.

Yeah bro, I figured that was you next to tanglewood. Thanks. I've been trying to find someone that wants to trade an '02 M3 or newer for my car and some cash money if I could afford it. Probably never happen, just have to wait till I get out of college and hopefully run into some money. Your M sounded sick just chillen there in traffic. Was that car still flipped over down by the tanglewood 581 exit? Looked like a gnarly crash.

Thanks man. Have you done anything to the exhaust on your cooper? I couldn't tell since you were a couple cars back the whole time! haha

Yeah it looked like a bad crash dude! What happened? The jeep was still upside down and clothes were all over the road, every window in it was busted out...

I did the "One-Ball Mod".
Its my factory exhaust but removed some piping and one of the way too many mufflers!
From this:


To this:


Ended up with a much better tone and probably a hp or 2, for under $50 bucks!
Sounds good to me!

Not sure what happened in that wreck, I mean the speed limit right there is 35!!!

Nice mod! Do you plan to get a full exhaust system sometime or does that one do the trick?

Yeah, it does the trick right now. I'm waiting till I graduate or until a money tree falls out of my pants to do anything else, I don't wanna screw with my tune.
Once I get out of school next year, I want to do either a full turbo setup or twincharge it (turbo + sc). Either way, I am looking anywhere between 400-450 whp which would be very fun in a mini.
