It's some peoples job to look out for them.Not any more. Most cars going on as taxis now are Toyota hybrids (Prius and Camry).The cost of LPG has gotten too high.Keep checking Pickles Auctions and Manheim Auctions.

The plazmaman turbo side is noisier than the p/west version I believe because of the custom silicon so it might be ok for most. My son loves it though and I do think the bay looks cleaner without the crossover. It does sound mad coming on boost. The spool is nuts If you want it to be 'stealthy' or keep it pretty civilised then no, don't do it. It doesn't piss me off enough to change it. It's just those times when you're cruising and don't want to be in race car mode that it feels a little unrefined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
