I may end up trying to keep my FC, the Honda is paying for itself!

I was spending ~70 a week in gas...now it's down to under 20.

The FB is going away soon.

We might be having a party at my apt. on Monument Ave. next week (Friday?) if you guys are interested. It's right down the street from a few of you, the 2200 block.

If you had an oil leak that had oil residue everywhere including the top of the motor, inside the bell housing, all around the 6PA's, I mean everywhere, would you think it was only three backed out bolts on the oil pan??!?!?!?

Apparently that's all it was, so maybe I'll see a few of you guys tomorrow!


Just to update my indecisiveness, I'm going to keep the GTU and make it an autocross/track car. Most of the interior is NOT going back in, but either a supercharger or 20B may go in eventually. I have something else in mind for a daily driver, something 4WD, something turbocharged, something with 250 hp, and a bose stereo. You'll never guess.

And my car will be sold early next year. Minus a few parts.

I'm pretty sure about this, but it may just be this weeks decision.

Had fun at the autox today. Thanks a ton for all of your help Zach. I ended up third in STX, but only missed second by .093 seconds. Also thanks for mike for hooking me up with the lugnuts last minute, I appreciate it.

I'm down for a get together somewhere.

Although it was an extremely tight course, I really enjoyed it. It was just a tiring physically as it was mentally trying to get the car to go where you wanted!

For those who didn't make it, one lap around the course took less than 20 seconds! I was able to shift to second but a lot of people had to stay in first. When I was in first in the last section, I was WELL above the redline. No time to look, but the buzzer was going off for a long time and I stayed flat out.

I need a job. Anyone have any suggestions on jobs that don't suck that I could do after school and on weekends? I need to feed the car some money.

i would DEFINATELY try to stay away from food.

Well, that describes perfectly my wife's Audi A6 2.7T Quattro, so that's my guess.

How about a meet in the historic Battlefield Park area in Varina? It'd be a nice drive out in the country for you city folk. Haha. I used to live on 2000 block of Grace St., but that was a long time ago.

Saved An Rx-7

This car came through the junkyard. 91 Coupe. Package B (equals a GXL, big brakes, power everything, etc). 57,711 original miles. Auto. I just couldn't see it get stripped and get crushed so I and a friend bought. She is getting a 5 speed swap ASAP and an Eaton M-90 that I've had around the garage for awhile might be somewhere in its future.

MWAHAHAHA

piccies..

That's damn close, just a little more S porty than the A4.

Nice catch Jayson! How much?

We're having a party at my house Saturday night. Everyone is welcome. 2225 Monument Ave. #3. If all goes well, there will be excessive alcohol consumption.

wish i could party this weekend....but alas, im heading out of town. another time my friend..the rotary drinking fest will be GRAND :-)

That would be the S4 then, with the same engine. Yah, that would be pretty damn sporty!

I had so much fun driving my Dad's A4 that I'm gonna have to get an S4. I need a car that I can drive with a suit on, ya know? Since whatever I drive everyday has to be fun to drive, I thought the S4 would be a good choice.
