With these mad tite 225 width tires i am the dorifting KING. And you cant handle the red hoses, or 267.892786543 WHP this beast produces consistently.

Did you ever find a Microtech Tuner? I may need one soon! Let me know if you find someone

The last time I was at the Raliegh drive-in char-grill thingy, there was a guy there with a black supra with a big single turbo, I believe his name was Jason as well. He said he new a couple places around there that could tune a Microtech.
but I don't know how to get ahold of that guy, maybe he'll show back up or maybe someone else knows him.

No, no, no. There was another guy named Jason with a Black single turbo supra that is also automatic. He looked Hawaiian or something. That is who I talked to. You must have not been there that time.

The guy with a Highway Patrol/State Trooper sticker on his windshield. He was the one who let me sit in the driver's seat. Teehee. (Taylor, you weren't there that day...)

Bert here is the mansion I was talking about. They call it the wedding mansion and since I've had a two or three I'll let someone else get married if they want. They also say well behaved children, Does this mean the Leverett group can't come? what about Josh's girl?

We need to look into this so we can book it well in advance. I think you are the most well spoken/written of us, so I nominate you .

Just wondering if anyone knows of a good place to get inspections at as well as an oil change here in the Raleigh area (preferably by NCSU). My girlfriend is long overdue on the oil change which I should have done myself last time we were both home but really needs the inspection as it is due on saturday. Thanks.

Thanks Josh. I am going to see my car on friday I think, its coming together nicely from what Ashraf is saying. There are a few little fitment problems and such which is one reason its taking a little longer. Need to make a final parts order of a bunch of odds and ends. From what Ashraf is saying, he said it should now be done mid to late may at the latest so we shall see.

Well as long as she doesn't need somebody to sneak her around you can pretty much go anywhere. There's one place that I took my truck directly across Western from Cook-Out. I don't remember the name, but it's clearly a car shop and its sitting next to another shop of some sort.

Yeah she doesn't need anyone to sneak her around, just neither of us are familiar with anywhere up here since she usually has it done back near charlotte. I know what you are talking about across from Cook-Out, I will probably check that out.

The place I highly recommend is Oil Change USA in Harvest Plaza Shopping Center, that is right across Strickland Road from the Char Grill. They can do the oil change and can do the inspection if the car is registered in a county that requires an emissions check. Otherwise she only needs the safety inspection. I don't know if the Wake County Inspectors can also do just the safety check.

Thanks Bert, her car is registered in Union county so it does need the emissions.
