Not driving or modding your car to your liking is like not sleeping with your girlfriend because you want the next guy to enjoy her more, it just doesn't make sense.

Martin, I know a young lady who may want to speak to you about some particular fb parts. I'll try to get her to message you.

Ray, I understand the 12a concept of "respect your elders" so even if you weren't first, you would be lol.

Hey, if you happen upon an SA, please let me know. I need a rust free shell, or nearly rust free, as I will have to replace some rusty areas on SA #2.

Thanks

We've got you covered Dr. Robert. If there's a rust free SA in the area, we will let you know.

Anybody going to the May 5 2015 OGTA meeting tomorrow night?

I'll be there, checking out the FDs and I haven't seen the LBW in awhile.

I just bought lots of film, so there will be plenty of pics.

And if Greg the Younger shows up, we might even have cigars.

Brett, is there any chance you could get that new unit of yours on over to the OGTA meet for us to check out up close and personal?

Yea Brett, we need to see her in person and have the traditional OGTA laying on of hands. I'm sure we can get her running. Heck, if Tim and Robert make it out I'm sure we could have a Nikki on her before dinner!

Darn, it looks like I'm going to have to wait for the June meeting to see a bunch of FD's.

I ran into a dude with a nice street ported FB this afternoon, Daniel. I told him about the meet, he said he'd try and make it. You know you want to see that, Ray!

I don't think the FD will make it's grand appearance this month, it's no fun to drive with no boost :-) I'll be in in my good old reliable boinger.

Thank you Alex. After the meet last night I started digging into it- I found that the front turbo ate something. So the plan is to get another stock turbo set, simplify the vacuum system but keep the sequential system. I'll be putting on a downpipe and aftermarket intake, possibly remove some emissions equipment. And replace the AST with a metal one. Maybe she'll hold over for a little while after that.

So it looks like she'll be tucked away for a few weeks...

I snapped two pictures from last night's meet. If I remember correctly, there were:

2 FB's - Erika and a new guy Daniel
1 FC - Cameron and his brother
1 FD - Jeremy
1 FE - Holly
1 RE5 - Crit

3 Boingers - Dena, Brett, and the Hoon Tang Miata guy.

What is that... 10.913 12A equivalents?

Thanks for the pics Brett, and your math is excellent.

New Guy Daniel's car is the prettiest one on the lot, I really like those copper tone X-wheels. I hope he makes it a regular thing.

I spent the evening yesterday working on the White Ghost, I think she'll look really good lined up beside that Racing Green FD of yours Brett.

Cameron, I can bring a couple rattle cans of white Rustoleum spray paint to the next meeting, we can do the black parts over to white in just a few minutes.

Maybe even do the wheels.

If all things work right ray, I may have a surprise for you in the wheels dept of my car next month. As far as the black fenders, it just kills me to ruin a perfectly fine set of gtu fenders for my vert rather than find factory original white s4s.
I have VIN matched rattlecan at the house :p

I understand the affliction with the black and white Cameron, and those gtu fenders are to die for.

After all, it don't matter if you're black or white:


If you've got some VIN matched rattlecan, bring it to the next meeting. It just might match better than the Rustoleum metallic white (maybe).

Haha. Just making sure. I totally understand the idea of wanting to keep it as sock as the day it rolled off the production line, but I want it MINE. I want it to stand out. I want to be remembered.
