What's up everyone? Sorry that I've been MIA for so long. Things were really hectic for us for a while. It's all good now though. I love my new job and the pay is nice. My training is coming along really well. I finished 3rd and picked up the bronze medal in the HW class at this weekend's Capitol City Grappling Challenge. Not too bad for being out of my normal weight class. I was a good 30lbs. lighter than the other guys I had to fight.

Casey, good call on the 1098 bro! I'm planning on picking up a yellow 1098 this winter when the prices drop a bit.

Jake, if you want to buy the FD it's yours bro. But the asking price is $14K obo since it's in pretty good shape and only has 500 miles on a new streetported motor. If you're looking for a donor car for an LS1, I doubt you want to pay that much for it.

The Avatar is gone now. But I flew down and "interviewed" the new owner to make sure that it was going to a good home. The new owner is a great guy and owns about 60 old school rotaries already. He has already told me that the Avatar WILL BE at 7Stock this year!

Back to the fighting thing. I'm flying to San Diego this Friday to corner for 4 of my teammates that are fighting in the Armed Forces Pankration Championships. I was supposed to fight in that too, but I'm no longer elligible to compete since I got medically retired from the AF. I should have a fight in June or July at the latest though.

Our cell numbers are still the same, so if anyone ever wants to call and BS we're actually out amongst the living again. Talk to you guys soon. Take care.

Pleasure to hear from you again Zacharias. 14k is a bit steep for me, but I'm sure the car is worth it!

Hope I can make it out to a meet sometime, or the Housewarming party when you and Berry get around to it!

Yeah Dinnercoat, Ben is alive and well. He's just working his a$$ off. LITERALLY. That boy has lost some weight!

Mark, I'll give you a call sometime and we'll catch up about everything. Everything is good though, and we're both happier now then we have been in a long time.

Jake, if you ever want to get away from the Bay for a weekend or something you know we always have a spare bedroom that you're welcome to.

I wish it were as easy as just knocking someone out Preston. I wasn't allowed to hit anyone in this past tournament. Submission grappling only this past time. So not fair! I've come to the realization that's it's so much easier to kick someone in the head and then walk away. ROFL!!

What's up lil' Nick. Good to see you on here bro.

Hey Jake, do a search for RX-7's on sacramento.craigslist.org There is a guy in Rocklin selling a clean tited FD with no motor for $4,500obo. He says that it's good except for not having a motor.

Hey Welcome Back Zach

I haven't been on the board for awhile, school is a bitch. Too bad the avatar is gone I would have loved to see it at Rotaryfest this year. Speaking of that, does anyone know if it's on this year?

I have been really busy this year but I help all I can with rotorfest again. I think last year turn out pretty good. How did every one like my burgers? I spent over $200 on hamburger pattys and hotdogs. Thats how much we ate that day.

So PM me if some one wants me too help or wants me to be the ring leader again.

Well, for those of you that doesn't have any plans for Memorial Day, my day of birth happens to land that day and I'm planning on BBQing it out with family and close friends. I haven't been on a meet for a long *** time, so why not bring it here lol...again, this is for those who don't have anything to do that day...and don't trip, I won't be "upset" if no one shows up lol...I'm just throwing this idea out there. My house is actually a corner house and there's plenty of parking space on one side! so parking is no problem. If possible, I would like this little meet to be like a pot luck, I have a big family and I'm pretty sure we might run out of burger patties, hot dogs, and soda...if you can't it's all good. So come by if you want, you don't have to stay long, if you don't want to...just grab something to eat, show off your 7 and bounce lol...so if anyone is interested, hit me up! via myspace.com/jp_laranang or email. fc_fr3ak@yahoo.com for more info. Sorry for the short notice...I wasn't really gonna do anything for my B-Day this year, but this idea just came to me couple days ago lol...Thanks! -JP

wow Preston nice job! Can't wait to see that Bitch painted!

On a side note i've been workin on my 1st gen project, I got the motor out of the 2nd Gen and i'm now cleaning and prepping it for installation into the FB. Then I have to wire it up, finish the body work and paint her. It's been taking longer than I wanted but It's all the time i've got really.

You should hit me up, I have a never installed set of those evo-r's that I may not end up using. They're not the HID versions though. Actually have another set of sleeks (pre-auto?) but I can't decide what I like so I will probably just sell them both and keep it stock.
