My 2002 Twin Turbo Saleen - Project Turbo 2V

TTSaleen · Apr 24, 2013

Few updates.

The Toyo R888's are the best dual purpose tire I've had!
Hook reasonably well for 700rwhp. But drive in the RAIN like a standard all weather tire! I was impressed! Here's a picture when I got caught in a recent storm.
Car performed flawlessly!

I also just received my Grand Design Mat for the trunk.
Got it installed tonight! I think it makes a big difference!

How much does one of those run for the trunk? Been thinking about getting some sort of mat there.

And good tires make everyone happy

$180 delivered!

Also got a chance to capture some video footage this week.
Nothing fancy, just multi angles and quick editing.

Drug dealer :laughing5:

Haha. That's what I get a lot though.
Seriously, I was a Project Manager at a large technology company for 19.5 years until last year.
Started a new job this year doing more sales and service. Less stressful but doesn't pay as well just yet.

Ha, I was just going over the job qualifications of project managers in class yesterday! thanks for the vid!

Glad to see it's hooking up! Can definitely see it pressing you back in the passenger seat. So awesome.

My advice - If project management appeals to you, get your PMP. It will definitely open more doors for you early on in your career and allow you a much bigger salary to start.
I got up to six figures, but it took me many years to build up to that!
The only downside for me - It was a highly stressful job. I did lots of traveling also.

Good luck!

Only real advice I can give is do something you enjoy and could see yourself doing for many years to come.
Mine started out as a technician/electrical and evolved to team leader, assistant director, then project manager.
With each title change came additional stress, but the compensation helped ease that somewhat.
Got to a point I was unhappy in the job and eventually ended up leaving. Now I'm in a new role as a sales/technical consultant and it is more inline with what I want to do.

Good luck!
Having a cool car is nice, but being able to support your family and do other things is just as important!

You just take care of all the fun stuff then
