Yay for Jason being back. I need a price on the seat/harness/wheel so I can figure out if I can use that as a Christmas gift

Now that I remember, I have a 1995 Dodge Avenger ES for sale if anyone is interested in a daily driver / winter beater car. Thread can be found HERE.

Welcome how J.

I would say that you would bring the car out to my shop but its full. You could bring it out but it would have to sit outside when your not working on it. Just have to move a car when you want to work on it. O yeah then we could work on my car(s).

What do you have to do to the car now?

I tell him you said what's up. If it actually got moved to June that be awesome. I have 1 or 2 friends that liked to come but school would be in the way. I want to try and get Moe to go so he can get us a Hotel. That would make the trip a lot easier.

They all ways have several hotels setup for the 7 guys to get a room at. I will make sure that I get mine sooner this year. I suggest you do the same.

How is your car running? Moe never told me anything about it. I just know that you had a turbo FB and now you have a FD. At least that is what I heard.

Right now i'm rebuilding the motor on it. I'm planning on finishing it during my 4 week winter break.

It's my other brother that still has the turbo FB and I just got the FD a year ago.

-install the 62-1 turbo
-install the apex IC
-drop the whole suspension
-install bushings
-install coilovers
-install SS brake lines/rotors

and a **** ton of other bs.

Yup....

I'll have fun doing the installation. Just have to wait or find a place.

My Apexi front mount came with a nice surprise..... a Apexi BOV and a greddy pop off valve.

Got some new tools I wanna use too

Its great to have J. back here in town with us. He helped trouble shoot the FB the other day. With out him the car would be sitting for a long time. I think that we have narrowed it down to the fuel injectors.

Thanks J

If you want to bring the 7 down here to work on it at the shop let me know.

I could get a trailer to bring her down. You might have to buy gas but thats all.

Im going out to the shop this weekend sometime to work on the FB some more. I hope that it will run rite. I miss driving her.
