sorry man, i had 36 phonecalls, 8 voice mails, and 3 text messages yesterday...i only answered the phone once

my leg was about a 9 1/2 on the pain scale and i just seriously didn't want to be talking on the phone all day. it was more fun rocking back and forth in the fetal position.

that was ONE CLEAN FC, jeeez it was immaculate. I dont think i would have the patience to do that much work on a car even if I was paid to do it, that is some amazing attention to detail and I imagine it was even more wild to see in person. vipers, that was a sick car.

I should go home and treat my FC to some engine bay cleanup tonight just to serve as a memorial to guitarjunkie28. that totally sucks he is gone, what a loss for the FC community too.

i was on my way home from a dyno session, and a fuel line started leaking, which caused an engine fire..... a few wekks later, dave died, and he was the only one i would have trusted to get her back up and running again.... so i parted it out, and bought an evo..... so my car is living on ain roughly 30-40 cars

owne is fat.... thanks bro! yeah, it took over 4 months of tedious work to get her all clean, and honstly, the hardest part was the color choices, you know as well as i do that too much color in an engine bay can turn a sexy engine into a monstrocity... so i was really worried during the build that i had too much color... but in the end, it all came together nicely

oh man thats a sad end to such a fine car but with dave passing I guess it was meant to be in a way. yeah indeed the car came out incredibly, I wish I could have seen it in person, I love cars like that where they are one of a kind and the hours of work are unreal to make it look that nice and still perform like a monster.

hahhha I bet youre at least happy with the EVO. I picked up an STI and it is a ton of fun and its weird how nice and new everything is, its so comfy and big yet it offers wicked performance.

aaahahashahahaha, your an STI owner! thats freakin awesome! it was a hard choice between the 2, but the evo won it for me! i absolutely love this car! i already have a pretty big list of mods for her too working on getting it dyno tuned in february! should be around 340awhp.. not too shabby for a reliable daily driver..... and when the warrenty is up, im gonna stroke the motor, and put a gt35r in it... wanna have around 500awhp when done...

So in review, what would you recommend to other's seeking good quality fuel lines. I want to cover all bases since Im new to the turbo world and would hate to be victim to an engine fire.
