The whole O'Charlies thing sounds a like a classic case of "he said she said". Anyway, case closed.

I'm with Dave on doing this at a regular spot most of the time and I agree the HPD would probably hassle us some. I like it being up in race city or a little north as there are better, less congested back roads up there.


I'm thinking of throwing my old tires back on and heading out to the auox at Carowinds. Sounds like it might be fun.

Dang DJ. Sorry to hear about your little mishap. After almost an all nighter, me and Josh Long got a heart transplant done last night. The Fb now has a TII heart. Hopefully later this week we'll get a heartbeat The TO4E is so big, the wastegate pod is almost touching the frame. Looks awsome in there! I am supposed to have my injector O-rings in tomorrow. Then I can finish up the intake.

Tim, someone had mentioned Sonic across the street. I think I may go up there one day and talk to them. I'm glad you guys are thinking the same as me about having a "regular" meeting place. Then if we wnat to do something different, we can go from there.

Yeah Sam I mentioned the Sonic as I've seen other clubs with meets there I think. Seems more car friendly and I don't think its crowded on Sunday afternoons.

Or vise versa. The irons n housing I got back from Dave r s5. I think the GXL is S4 so the housing n rotor would be same. could they work or no.

Hey David, On your intermediate housing by the dipstick. There "was" a nipple for the emmissions hose to plug into. In order to lap that hosuing I had to remove that nipple. I meant to plug it with a bolt by tapping it out while I had it, but I forgot. You can swing back by with it someday this week or whenever if you like and I will tap and put a bolt in it. sorry man. Just remembered looking at the pics. It will be on the rear facing side of the plate.

Hey Stu, Do you have any REW templates? I am going to go with a SP and Pineapple has a medium but no large. I am still looking around, just thought maybe you may have some in your stash of stuff.
