Don, how is everything? Getting any sleep? I know what you are not getting!!! Same thing I am not getting!! HAHA they say 6 weeks and I am at week 5... just got to hold out 1 more week! Not really a choice in the matter!!



Brad, you planning on coming to the track again? I hope to have the new tranny and clutch kit it soon then 500 break in miles. I also think I may just go ahead and get the et streets as I am afraid the DR's are to harsh on the driveline were the ET's absorb the wheels hop and such. Anyway I know I will be out there soon as I have a goal to hit.

I know what you mean. My 2 year old boy threw up for 7 straight days last week right at 3a.m. every morning. Wasn't sick at any other time but at 3a.m. it was GO TIME! Now my oldest boy has an ear infection in both ears, chest congestion and running a 101 degree fever. This winter has been awful for sickness. I've been sick 3 times since November.

So I guess you have to get up at all hours to tend to the baby... I bet your wife is happy about that temporary arrangement.

I haven't had much time with my little girl yet because I'm still trying to regain my energy so I've been sleeping about as much as she has. I have to go back to work tomorrow...
Congrats Don, glad the little one is well. I too had that crap and it is no fun. It had me in bed for 4.5 days.

Everyone is fine now they are over the flu... How are the cars coming? Anymore completed on the silver one? I am getting ready to do a tranny/clutch/flywheel job. Next doing a meth kit. I gotta do the meth as I think how far they have come with the kits its a no brainer for safe high boost.

We need to have a local meet and all hit the track one night after dinner!

Whats up guys, It's been awhile since i've posted.

Anyone going to DGRR?

I'm going to try to make it but i have got to get a clutch in my car A.S.A.P. since i have no where to work on it here.

Do you guys have any local mechanics you would suggest to put a clutch in for me?

Evan

Yes I have. I have almost everything reassembled. I received the A/C compressor yesterday, so as soon as it stops raining, I will be back on it and complete the engine bay... unless you would like to come over and hold the umbrella so I can get some work done now.

Had to tend to the baby while Denise showered and got dressed. I did manage to sneak in 45 minutes while they were gone to the store.

The TVRX8 bunch plans to meet up and caravan again like last year. I was hoping the HSV-RX-7 bunch would meet up with us. I'm taking my FD and don't plan to overdo it.

BTW, a few of the TVRX8 guys are coming to my house for car washing this afternoon, and to see my JC Cosmo that just arrived yesterday. You guys have my number if you want to come by.
Call me.

Dan
