I doubt I'll be going this year. The little one will only be 2 months old and she will probably require ALL of my free time for at least the first 6 months. But I still would like to get a T-shirt.

Get the ol'chest ready Don. First 6 weeks of both my boys lives were spent sleeping on my chest. It's the only way we could get'em to go to sleep. Anyway, good luck...oh, and Mylicon is your best friend...trust me.

Come on Phil, use the Search Function...lol. Just Kidding!

Mylicon is infant gas relief drops and is the best thing on the market for babies. When their stomachs start hurting it's very painful for them and they cry VERY LOUD! Myilcon knocks it out quick and it's the only thing our doctor has ever told us that give them at anytime day or night without any ill side effects. I gave our boys Mylicon after every bottle until they were old enough to start eating more solid foods. Just a tip.

Don, I took a piece of aluminum and put a bolt thru it with a nut. Used hose clamps to hold that on the strut bar. Camera spins right on. Gets a rear seat view. I am very pissed that I can not get it to play on my PC. I may return the camera for a differant one.

What your having one now? O'man the rx7 get togethers in a year or so will be flooded with little ones.




Mike,
If Big Eds is then I am there every day! BTW - I saw one in Knoxville and thought of you.


Don,
Once she is born you might start to think about selling the rx7 so I suggest you give the title to someone you trust to hold until she is 5.

Hus,
Sad to hear the car is sold. Well you will get tired of the rustang and when you do we will be here........... but really I miss my 85 GT but the FD fills that void easy.

Chad

No need to worry. The 7 is not going anywhere. I've invested too much time and money to gain any profit by getting rid of it. Besides, I have to have a project she and I can work on together...

Not raining here in Anniston, but then again I can't get anything done since the wife is at work and Audrey is here with me. Maybe next year I'll put it back together when every weekend is a 3 dayer and the wife will be home.

I tore it down and upgraded the internals to handle more boost...pistons, rings, rod bearings, main bearings, valve guides, oil pump, pressure plate and clutch. We just finished it this week and it's taken 4 1/2 weeks to do. So basically not only do I have upgraded internals, I pretty much have a new motor. SVT told me that I needed to put 2000 miles on it @ under 3500rpms before I go WOT so yea...it's killing me. I should be good for about 460rwhp and 500rwtq. That's up from my 427rwhp and 464rwtq. I'm gonna try to squeeze about 12 to 14lbs of boost in but I gotta get it tuned of course to see any of those higher numbers. Other than that, it's a Merry Christmas!

well I got to put in a new clutch/flywheel setup. My spec stage 3+ is not holding up. Less than 3k miles and its rated higher than what I am making. I have a ACT 6 puck Unsprung in the garage and going back to stock flywheel.
So if anyone wants to buy my Pettit 8.5lbs flywheel before I put it on the forum let me know. If the spec clutch looks fine I will be selling it also. Should be good as I have only spun it a few times and no drag launches on it yet.

Naw, I couldn't do that. Gotta be a little different and still have decent power. Even though there are tons of Mustangs my Cobra is numbered to 343 from 2001 and to my knowledge there are no 2003-04 Cobra Terminators running around in my area so that makes me even a little more different that I have a Cobra with a supercharger. Anyway, I'll stop talking so much about the Cobra on this forum.

Mike, that sux! I thought that clutch was rated for like 650 to 700hp? That 6 puck should be awesome.
