Went out for a father and son drive last night to find out what the 2-3 shift feels like at 10K... lets just say I can't wipe the smile off my face. Neither can he. lol.

Andrew just bring one of your kegs down hare and lets build you a real engine. Time to get real!!

did a mock up stereo install and broke my center console plastic pretty badly. it's now stuck in the dash. tomorrow when I'm not so angry I'll go remove it and straighten the stereo, and HOPEFULLY fix it.the stereo mounting kit is also stuck in the dash.

Sometimes I hate doing this stuff. but when it's done damn it'll be sweet.

I epoxied the living hell out of the plastic tab that holds the spring ring around the steering column. damn thing was broken when i got it and it annoyed me to no end. Looks ugly as sin but it holds like a charm now. (not like anyone will ever see that anyway)

Got an s4 alternator in little bit ago (Thanks Fong) and ordered a sweet dual belt pulley. Paid for Racing Beat torque brace (Thanks Broke7) so got some work to do once things warm up. I have a 2 car garage and no room for the car in it. Might have to just go in and start trashing stuff soon.

Sat in the ice cold garage for an hour and pulled the locks off the door handles. That is some time comsuming stuff right there. After I became iced over I called it quits. The awsome big garage would be super expensive to heat up :o(
