eesh... sadly I dont know anyone thats in the market right now. Ive been kicking around the idea of getting the 'quest close to ready for a paint/body shop+coilovers (1500 for some coilovers for a StarQuest, and about 400 for a new single piece front airdam). Or buy all the bushings, new springs shocks/struts (or go coilover), pillowball mounts, better condition front subframe, S4 NA lsd, and just putting the bitch on jackstands for the summer. But I cant do any of that until I too get another job.

Ohyeah....I hung out with this all day:

yeah finally, its turns out...unadvanced auto ******* sold me the wrong rotor. the hub was about 1/8'' too thick and caused it to jam up. i aired the tire up to about 60 psi and gave it a few licks with a sledge hammer, that knocked it lose. then i used a pipe to pry it off the rest of the way. i replaced the calpier and then changed the pads out all the way around. took the rotor back and got my money back, i didnt wana risk geting the wrong rotor again so i just had the old one shaved. shes back on the road and running great! btw, anyone volunteers to help me remove the rats nest?

and whos ready for DGRR this weekend?

Well since looking at my taxes, and reading the entire forms...im getting a large hunk of funds back. So im definitely going on the 18th, and early as **** I might add. So if you dont mind riding in my madhouse I dont mind some ballast in my passanger seat. Though a friday night grind session some spots in the back would be nice...

i'll get some shots up tomorrow, its in pretty good condition. it even has the original pin stripe. its the 3 piece wing. i thought only GSL-se's came with them but i pulled this one off a GS...i supose it was an add on. i'll consider a trade for a 12a header if anyone happens to have a spare laying around. (i also have a glass roof for an FB, will also trade for certain performance parts)

hmm... i'm definetly intrested. if you remove my rats nest ( and show me how to do it along the way) and install the acv block off plate (youll have to supply the block off plate, i believe its only $10 through mazdatrix or racing beat), i'll let you have the roof for $25. the glass roofs go for $200 on ebay, so i would consider that a good deal. however, i would label my roof in fair shape, it has a few scratches, but their not too bad. and some of the bolts are a bit rusty, but thats an easy fix with some sand paper. i'll post some pics tomorrow. i live in north knoxville, right behind st. mary's hospital. call if you want directions and to talk more out.

I was out there saturday, probably missed the porche, but got pictures of a few other things I deemed acceptable, including the black eunos cosmo and the white gsl-se with a very hidden turbo.

wait...why are you back in CT?

On another note...put the head unit that was in the FC into the Conquest. I have power to everything and it plays stuff so apparently the stocker and teh power antenna are fried. But all 6 speakers work, albeit crappily.
