Dam it, you can't edit posts after 8minutes. W/e

Does anyone know of a shop that does some custom fab work? I need an intake pipe made with a nipple on it. If anyone knows of one that does good fab work, let me know!!!!

Wow, thanks Robin! I knew you felt strongly about me.

Hey Saavedro, I sent you an email from my hotmail account in case I go MIA again...although my new job may allow the goof-off time I need to get on the forum more often.

Hey Dave, thanks for the show at the autoX! I could always depend on you kicking the rear end out! I hope you enjoyed the cheers from the sideline.

I believe most of you have met Diane, anyway we got married on the beach on Long Boat Key in the Sarasota area of Florida. Spent the week at my good friends house in Tampa seeing the sites and such - sadly the tan I got is already fading.
This was pretty much a quick elopement kinda thing, we just put down the deposit on the big wedding for June at the Japanese teahouse in Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens here in town.

picture taken by one of my friend's kids - we handed out 10 disposables to his 3 kids ranging in age 4 to 9

You guys look great together =] Happy for you man.

Now it looks like you'll need to sell all your cars and drive a 1992 Ford Van or something, hahahaha.

Also, I'm looking for some 4 lug rims, anything El Cheapo, to replace these rediculously hideous phone dials... I never really thought they were too bad before I owned a car that had them...

You got the black one, i should get the white one. I'll throw on a turbo and call it a day, hahaha.

I might head up with you Pierce. Assuming I get everything straight with the FD. Also, I've got some donuts that are 4 lugs with covers on them. Want them $75 for all 4?

No but thanks, I'm looking for something that'll be wider than the PD's... Hopefully before the Skyline drive...

You can have his white car on ONE condition. I get the CF Hood with the Aerolatch pins. I have a white hood you can have.

wow no one has dibs on the GTUs rear? (LSD and 4.33 final gear)
Anyone need 'Vert wheels or Borbet Type "S"? The Borbets have never even seen the street just some autocrosses and NASA TT on the Patriot course.

oh and they're no longer available for the FC as they've been discontinued in the right bolt pattern and offset

he is being cautious with his newly running right FD - let him get used to it
those things are expensive

anyway I was running my FC this Sunday to keep the fluids moving and the battery charged, I forgot that she had JDM FTP lenses
I'll have to the car up on some ramps or jackstands and start on the undertray and the Aerocatch hood latches too.

On a side note I'll have a house up for rent in December (or sooner if you wanna live in it while i renovate - i wouldn't recommend that though.
AND I will have my stepdads '88 Lincoln Town Car up for sale - $1500

BAH! The only way to get it running right is to dog it for the first 1k miles.

DANG! I call those FTP's too!! You still gonna roll with that stainless undertray idea?

Where is the house at? Pictures? Condition?

it might be cheaper to buy the whole car when I'm done with it (did I mention it also has the Koyo racing radiator w/efan, Megan Racing front bar, Cusco rear bar, gutted cat and Corsa exhaust?)
I don't know about stainless, maybe aluminum or just sheet metal painted white

the house is on the corner of Farmington and Blue Jay near Regency Square Mall, there are several folk here that have been to the house or at least go by it often
it's your basic 1950's 3 bedroom brick rancher
