Smokey

decent rebound. Took some licks in stride. Welcome.

Nice car and nice intro. Welcome

nice numbers Carl. Any more details on the meth kit you're running?

HAHA. Sure, if you guys don't mind it leaking oil and blowing smoke everywhere! Maybe we can get a good james bond-esque smoke screen shot. :lolguy:

Love the pics. I was drooling over this car the last time I saw it at cars and coffee. It's so clean inside and out, pretty much perfect.

I used Executrain at Polaris (near steak and shake) for VBA training in the past and was satisfied with the course. You may see if they offer anything that would suit what you need.

non-mixed: whiskey, bourbon, or scotch almost always neat beer: just about anything but xxx-light other than Sam Adams Light which is tasty. shots: like Andy, put whiskey in a glass and let me enjoy it, but if I was forced....Jager

Nice car, and welcome to the site. Pass-on-grass with the carbon wrap, but you've got plenty of time to figure that out. Keep a thick skin with a rotary on this site. :lolguy:

guess I just misread that then. Thanks for clarifying.

Nice build. What's the silver rotary project being referred to? Re 2mm vs 3mm: it was always my understanding that the reliability difference wasn't so much the size of the seal but the construction being 2 piece or 3 piece seals. The factory 2mm seals that everyone hated so much were 3 pieces, which Mazda later updated to be 2 piece seals. I think that in the beginning the 3mm seals were the only 2 piece option and that's why people portrayed them as more reliable. Now that there are plenty of 2 piece 2mm seals I would put those down as my preference in a build unless as stated there is damage to the rotor in which it needs milled anyway.

http://redtape.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/04/25/6527434-why-gas-prices-go-up-much-faster-than-they-come-down I found this article interesting and highly appropriate for this discussion. The increase in gas prices isn't going to break the bank for me, but it does make me upset. Every dollar that I have to pay extra to go to and from work for myself and my wife is another dollar taken away from my toys and fun. Also, we're going to the Outer Banks this summer and planning on driving...I'm not going to like the gas bill for that one bit.

Nice 335. Welcome to the site.

Nice intro, and Evo. Welcome to the site.

The race Sunday was great. Webber was hard charging for the front! Hard to ask for more. The tires have certainly added a great element for strategy. I really like that some teams run 2 stops and others 3, it makes it more interesting for me.

http://www.harborfreight.com/rapid-pump-2-ton-lightweight-aluminum-racing-jack-68051.html doesn't meet your price requirements, but it's light and will lift more weight. You also get the added benefit of getting extra saddle height out of it.

Welcome to the site.

Looks good. Have you had a chance to drive at night with them yet? I'm curious as to how well the LED lights work in the fogs. I was considering them for my wife's car but I worried that like most LED's the beam wouldn't penetrate very far away from the car.

so hot....want to touch the hiney

Sludge under the oil cap isn't a guarantee of a headgasket problem, but it definitely would point that way. You'll want to do a leak-down test to be sure. No, there shouldn't be any "coolant leaking from the intake manifold" Plus, the intake manifold has rubber o-rings that seal it that rarely fail unless you remove the manifold itself and tear them in the process. Follow Kale's advice.

So does anybody have a link to the HF coupon or will they only accept physical copies from a newspaper or the like?

I totally realized that I'm going to be on vacation during this day. I am hoping to make a Funday around early June though to shake down getting the FD back on track.

none of my cars are operational. maybe I'll swing by in my sweet ass winter truck for you guys.

I'm excited to see the changes for this year. It was cool in the race to see the battle between Button and Massa when Massa would save his KERS usage till the straight in order to hold off Button when he was using the DRS. I understand that only the rear car gets the advantage of the DRS (wing), but what I can't figure out is what if you have a few cars in a row? Does only the last car get to use it?

I should hopefully be able to make this event this year.

7am at Fado just like every year and passed out by noon likely because I'm old now...hahahaha
