      Red on temp means +shift, blue for -shift.

              My tach doesn't work, so I shift just before the exhaust starts getting real farty.
              Cheers to the previous owner for fitting the worst sounding exhaust in history.
              At least it flows good

                  The worst bit is, it sounds good from inside, so when I'm all like YEAH IMMA M3 WOOOOOO from inside, people outside just hear some angry bees inside a tin can

                    Thinking about stripping all sound deadening and cutting the muffler off, cutting open with a torch, proceed to cut baffles out, weld shut and weld back on but my car is pretty loud already.

                                I drive an ETA. My mom says I drive too fast (judging off sounds of the engine). I'm just over here like I shift at 3k, shuttup. She drives it to work one day, comes home an apologizes about how slow my car is.
