Michael, come up and join the fun! Tim, call me Sunday and remind me to bring your socket. I heard that Josh is having doubts again about my 6-port idea. That's okay. If I can scrounge up enough parts, I'll try it myself. It just sucks trying to find a GSL-SE oil pan.

Don't worry Sam, I know where you live

Might need to borrow a 500+ psi impact wrench from someone to try on that front 19mm eccentric shaft bolt off that 12A so I can break it down. I haven't had time to play with it yet but might find time soon.

Where do find all these gems Stu? Drop one my way one of these times 12A 13B S4, S5,..20B whatever you find laying around. I am going to try to make it Sunday. Hopefully I will have a customers car to drive there with. Going to get it tomorrow

I got the Streetport Pineapple Raceing 6 port templ;ates dropped off to me today!! Very cool piece. Dave has said that I can make copies of the template if I like. I plan on making a couple pieces first round to test them out. We'll see how it works out.

I know a ton of people across the US Let me know what you want and I can find it for you. Shoot me a PM.

Tomorrow.... well its 2AM, so today... I will be heading to the coast to get an engine. Josh, I remember you wanting the rotating assembly, so I will hopefully save that for you. The housings will be first come first serve, but need a lil $ for them....

Gas money, you know?

EDIT: It is a NA motor Josh. Wish I coulda gotten a TII Motor for you, but I will take what I can get.

I'm getting ready for the meet. Looks like great weather. Missed the last one and dropped out of the one before that.

Changing plugs, checking timing and washing the 7 for the meet.

I think it will be a great turnout now that everyone can get gas.

Stu we'll have to hold back those pics for now. While you grabbing parts, you know I will be needing a couple of S4/S5 housings. Josh, I understand where you coming from having to hold back for the sake of the daily driver. I don't have to worry about that. It's not about me having money to throw away. My ports WILL work. I think I proved my porting skills on the SA. It's not a debate on whether or not it's doable, it will be done. I will build it, then you guys can fight over the who wants the templates for the ports

On a different note. I decided that the muffler needed some tucking on the FB. The more I looked at it, the more I was hating it. So, "Break out the welder!" was called, and with some minor alterations I think I likes it alot! I added some "flame" protection as well
