Go get some stakes and reflective tape!

I have some bad news...depending on the time of the dyno, I might not be able to make it...but I am going to try and win money to make up for the lost opportunity!

It also depends on when/if I leave town...

Hmmm... I know a Paul at my school that used to have a car like that, or maybe he still has it? I don't know. Anyway, it was a mirage converted to an evo and it actually looked pretty good, on the outside that is. His last name is Malcom or something like that. Same guy?

Edit - I think it is the same guy, because I recognize that license plate. Cool stuff...

Not snake road i used to love that road we used to ride down in at night with the headlights off then one day i wrecked right where you can branch off to go to walthall,that was years ago now its a little wider,my cousin used to live about 1/2 mile from point of rocks park(the good ole days).Take some pics for me sat. im still working on my car i got pissed and went out and bought a compressor,and a 3/8 impact,but that didnt work(need more *** behind it) i should of got a 1/2 impact but i opted for the 3/8 it was cheaper and lot smaller so now i have to pull the radiator to get the 1/2 impact in there.I got my FPR in the mail today and my fuel pump is supposed to be here tues.Im off tues-thurs. so i will definatly have it done by then.

dude.. thats crazy, his name is paul malcomb, and he transfered to my school this year. you dont see many mirage's going around with evo4 kits. the motor is a mirage motor, but he does have stuff done to it, even though obviously its more show than go, but hes one of the few people with a car that looks that good, and actually gets out and races around in it. it handles like a dream, just needs some more ***.


is everyone meeting up at rosen at 11? or a little before? what all do i need to do to get my car up on the dyno (never done it before)

Just you, the car, and about $40 should do it.

A little tid bit that I learned from experience: After your run, be sure to re-engage the emergency brake. I am sure someone else around here will be happy to say why I share this....

Zach, we can find a place that doesn't need you to be 21 to get into if we are just trying to meet up for a lil while...

I'm going to be heading to Atlantic City ~10 tommorow...so tonight is my only hope of having some fun around here...
