Hey Jeg0024 - Good looking Keyholes! Those will look fantastic when they are done.

Lets see, went to walmart for a plastic bin stacker that miraculously fit inside the hatch area with a little tetris style maneuvering. Took the passenger side door card off so I could get that dang window to roll up correctly. Will probably continue that process this evening...

I got a new shifter lever with boot (stock). So I took out my short shifter and put it back to stock. Imo longer throw but feels way smoother. Especially since its my dd, smoother is better than shorter.

Inspired originally by Papsmagu and then by Ruler Mark (only including him so he won't cry you know I love you Mark) I was up in Gville this weekend and stopped by Evot23's to pull the carpet. The plan is to quiet coat the car in the near future (meaning before the end of the year).

Not sure if I'll put carpet back in, I've been surprised that the sound increase was minimal with no carpet and losing 30 lbls of weight is 30lbls of weight...although I still have the slowest running FD in Florida I believe.

@lwnslw

I just posted it for sale. It is black and in good condition. Was asking $400 shipped for it. You can certainly have it for less. PM me with an offer if you'd like it shipped or picked up in Tampa (cheaper).

What good is it to be blessed genetically (in more ways than one *rimshot*) if you can't go beast mode every now and then?

glad i was your inspiration, at least partly. i got it from a friend of mine that built a car for a customer about 6-8 years ago. my car has been slowly getting more and more track oriented so i figured it was s good time to do it.

on a side note, you posted in the lounge about LLC not protecting your assets, can you send me a link? is that just that county or is it state wide? let me know, when you have some time.

just saw his post in the lounge and i like the strategy that Mark Warda recommends with the use of land trust and trustee's ordered his book and aksed Kevin AKA Gringogrande (I think) to let me know when the next dates are for the seminars. i will attend Mark's seminars as time permits. i really like this stuff and the more i can learn about it the better.

Mark is correct.

This happened about the same time Eddie tried to breach everything with a pulse. I still get nervous around Lord Edward V. the 3rd and his epic boys.

I just removed what I assume to be the stock shift **** and replaced it with the one from my Miata (NA). The NA one is pretty much the same shape, it isn't leather wrapped but it is much heavier. The SA one isn't weighted at all, it barely weighs anything lol. I haven't driven with the NA one yet but the shifting already feels better!
