Would love to see this conversation with the neighbors. Both of you lounging in the yard drinking a beer with a raptor circling above. Hey neighbor, what ya doin? *beer slurp* Huntin' possum *neighbor looks skyward, looks back, retreats to suburban safety*

Remember the old timers excuse for when they get pulled over speeding? "Just blowing the carbon out officer" What's old is new again.

Woke up late this day as I had been playing Counter Strike on PC until the weee hours of the morning in my off campus apartment in college. Got on the computer to check a few things and as soon as I got online my ICQ Messenger popped up with a message from a good friend, saying "Holy shit can you believe this is happening!?"... Pulled up Yahoo News to see what was up.. no TV cause broke college kid. Rushed over to his place, got my very first tank of $3+ per gallon gas as the lines were out on the street from no one knowing what was going to happen next. Spent the entire day sitting at his place watching TV in complete shock. Who could have known that single event would start a series of events that's kept us at war nearly my entire adult life.

Wow! Nicely done sir! Incredible the amount of difference a talented detail artist can make on ever just your average every day driver. Also, that roof photo you posted in thread is a tad bit trippy! Convex black mirrored surface showing your garage roof.

Mmmmm '03? Passed on a very lightly used convertible when my '99 GT was... procured by an uninvited guest. So much fun to be had out of those cars and reasonable to work on/upgrade. Also, easily one of the best exhaust notes of ANY 'merican car ever produced.

This is CR right? So nice car. Lots of potential for glory. All you need are heads, cam, intake, headers, better flowing exhaust, lowering springs, shift kit, and a couple other small things and you should be good to go

Well sounds like it fixed itself, that's some Mazda engineering! Nice to not have a repair bill for a "My car won't start" issue, but now we REALLY don't know what was actually wrong with it. At least she's back on the road though!

You mean Racewars? Clay...when was the last time you survived a racecar all day party all night then racecar again kind of time? In all honesty I've been to two of these and they are very good fun. Even if you aren't out there drifting or driving there's plenty of entertainment to be had highly recommend at least day tripping one. P.S. DON'T bring the kids

Will be there

I think the longer he spends here the further we can get him from occasionally and closter to reliably ignorant.

Welcome aboard Sir! Been kicking around the idea of adding an NA miata to the fleet myself, hard to find better smiles per dollar than those things. Especially if you are a cone chasing kinda guy!

Hmmm drag racing Friday at 42 then Road Racing at Ledges? Mini version of the Power Tour?

Looking for helper bags? Yeah, we can do that Edit : What are you planning to tow? Those systems aren't exactly "cheap" so you may be throwing good $$$ after mediocre results. Just an FYI

Possibly Top Stitch in Plain City

Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks like "Progress" to me Keep it up!

Always happy to help out, we actually have a pretty good relationship with that schools Auto Tech program anyways. We'll be bringing the '65 C-10 Work Truck and likely at least 1 Pontiac, since there's a "Project Car" trophy might bring something else that should be rather torn apart by the time of the show waiting on its new monster heart.

Unfortunately waiting on a god damn shifter bracket for this IS300 so it won't be ready in time I'll be out there in something though and will definitely stop by. Where will you all be set up?

I'm in with 4 cars at this point, will likely bring more and will get those registrations done as we go. Getting registration done this evening.

Welcome to the Powerstroke world! And yes you should have power with just one battery connected, how old are the batteries in there? Are they matched or no? Often times people will cheap out on buying batteries and just toss 1 good one in while the other limps along... until it doesn't.

We've done air suspensions on all kinds of vehicles, certainly something we can take a look at for you to avoid the Stealership trip. Is the pump replaced with a factory unit or something aftermarket like Arnott?

We DO do Corner balancing on a request basis but it's not something we typically offer to a walk in or casual customer. Most people in the alignment/suspension game just want it to track straight and not rip their tires apart. For those who are looking for true custom suspension setups, which we do every single week, it's a part of the package we can offer. That usually includes spring rates and preloads and all the fixins. But again, those are people with considerable work done to their cars and are willing to pay for us to spend the time on it. Don't often get Honda guys with lowering springs willing to spend 400+ for a suspension setup with corner balancing

I'm sure Lucore can get involved as a shop sponsor and bring one or two of our toys/projects to show off. We're pretty familiar with the crew over at that school

Very simple surgery to splice in, as others have cautioned make sure of the weight you are going to be pulling behind it. Also keep in mind how the trailer is loaded, and the extra wear and tear on your suspension/braking components. Don't brake expensive unicorn parts!

Very cool! Hard to hate a good old honest truck. Not overly expensive or complicated to work on, hold a pretty solid value in this market as well. I also TOTALLY understand the having the "next project" lined up! Just try to keep it to 1 on deck at a time!

Brian at DTM, Eric at Crucial, or the guys at Carlyle Racing I hear have done some heavily modified LS stuff
