Chris its not like we are going off road. I dont think you would damage anything unless you want to get crazy lol... Ebrake slides are pretty fun still..

Ian make sure you get the engine issues sorted out. Headlights are not that big a deal bc they are in the up position anyway. I leave mine up now since I dont want them to freeze in the down position. What have you been up to lately on it? Hanging the rest of the body pieces?

well i replaced the ECT fan sensor, and my turbo gasket and my thermostat, replugged my fan in, and put some gas in it. gotta get my stepdads compressor over there and put some air in my tires before i go get a full tank of gas. but i also want to hookup my boost and AFR gauges, which ill be doing the boost tonight at least so i can see if im pulling the correct vacuum. other than that i need to get the correct clips and i need to drill holes on my right quarter so i can hang those pieces, because i welded in new metal as part of the body work.

Yea I've still got a cough, but I'm getting better everyday...

What are you talking about this meet on the 16th? I'm going to be in next weekend, so it may workout. I've got a wedding shower that I have to go to, but I need more details on this!

Damn my SB is a week after next. I guess mine is late? Id rather have it later anyway so it will be warmer. I need to drop the engine in my white 165 and replace the head gasket and a bunch of other shit while Im at it.

Nice to hear you almost got it running to the point where you can drive it long distance. Cosmin said he got to drive it with open down pipe. I bet your neighbors loved that haha.

yeah over winter break i let him drive it. ive been driving it with only the open downpipe. its getting an exhaust finally on monday, as well as having the font mount fitted. so hopefully itll be ready for the mini meet on thursday.

ok, so my cars sitting in the garage. i need a few things. does anyone have a single entry turbo lying around? thats in good enough condition to use, while i wait to get min rebuilt? that would be awesome.

but now that i have a job, i am ordering some extra stuff for my car. first is a cusco type II front brace and TRD sway bar bushings.
