Just got back from Atco. I went out first round of eliminations to the top guy in the class (he's got the record so far) with a 10.11 to his lifting 10.01. I qualified 5th with a 10.06 and backed it up with a 10.08, so the car is steadily coming along. Can't wait to actually be competitive :D

Good job, Joey! That 'stang is coming around nicely!:icon_tup:

we still need the new guys to decide if theyre coming to the fudds meet this month or not. best chance to meet us.

so I spent all weekend moving :p:

I now live in Columbia right on the other side of 29 from the mall.

Sean, where do you live? I might be near you.

status report on my RX-7: I'm lazy and dumb and still haven't made a new wiring harness, but I told my gf this morning not to feed me until I do, so it'll probably get done tonight. and then all that's left is to set the timing then tune, yays!

dude, i'm like walking distance to fudds. westbound on 175

You skinny people have too much stamina. I don't like walking across the Fudd's parking lot to get to the restaurant.

LOL

well I'm pretty close to fudds too now, so there really isn't any reason why I shouldn't be able to come, if I'm not doing lots of other crap or working on the weekend for some reason.

everyone else: come or I'll run you over with my corolla, it's pretty low it would probably hurt a lot.

in other news... my apartment will have internets tomorrow! yays.

so you getting FIOS or comcast?

i like how comcast lost track of my upgraded internet when i got the triple play deal. 16/1mbit for 35 bucks a month. Nothing sweeter than downloading stuff at 1.98megaBYTES a second.

dumb comcast :-(

it sucks, I'm like 2 miles away from ken and I know he has FiOS, but I can't get it. so yeah, I'm getting 16/1 Mb cable, I'll survive :p:

Compressor is SOLD

'Vert is SOLD

Now up for sale\trade:

A Black and Decker HD (the branch that became DeWalt) drill with three batteries and a charger. $20 :)

anyone local to me have a 9/16-18 tap i can borrow to finish this damn waterline install in my car?

Sears sells single taps.

Do they have one in the size you need?

i went and they dont have any single ones in the size i need. I ordered a set online a week ago but still hasnt arrived. need to just get it done this weekend.

The cylenders and head for my motorcycle are still in the machine shop -- they're not used to dealing with motorcycle cylenders, apparently :/

nice, so getting engine fully rebuilt I take it.

Yeh, doing it myself though.

I just had to get the head and cylenders decked and honed. As soon as they get back the rest of the "block" is all ready to pop back on.

have you tried lowes?

anyone know a cheap good place to get a windshield replaced? car im trying to get needs it replaced as well as brake work.

You can do it yourself with some old piano wire and two pieces of wood.

Well, it's much easier to do with two people.

I was bored at work so I came up with the idea for a banner for us to use for our meets. Just have us sign our names in the dead space at the bottom or fill it with something else.

i almost got run over riding my motorcycle on my way home today by a REALLY bad female driver who claimed the guy she cut off and repeatedly brakechecked was tailgating her. also smashed my turnsignal into the side of her car as i swerved to avoid her. popped the rubber bushung holding it and cracked back side of it.

:/

She going to pay for the damages?

she drove off after taking OUR license plates info. officially it counts as a hit and run on her part so if she wants to report it, i'll be glad to nail her on it.

All in all, you're lucky it wasn't a lot worse. I love riding but being close enough to cars with stupid people behind the wheel doesn't always seem worth the risk.
