Checking to see who is going to be going to 7 stock. I am still cleaining up the credit card mess created by my family this year. Unfortunately I wont be going all out like I would have prefered, which pisses me off

If I end up getting a hotel room"s" I will have some space for people, but at the moment doubt it. I was thinking about taking the REPU, but just dont care to drive it that far. Taking it from Oroville to Vegas was long enough.

Ben, I would like to drop off my FD at your place in Mid December. Let me know if that sounds good to you. I will be ready by then to start throwing money at it.

The best NA bang for buck you can do really from what I've seen is the bonez high-flow cat + pipe/silencer or RB pre-silencer. And maybe a header too.
Yeah ha ha but the true duals I would have just to have them lol. If I had to make choice right now it would be RB header into a bonez high flow cat, into an RB catback. The catback would probably end up being the Turbo one just so if I actually go turbo I would have the bigger piping and would just need to get a downpipe and possible a different cat.

Oh and I ended up rebuilding the wiper switch XD. I messed it up a little so if it does die out I have another switch that I already have apart and would just need to solder in the relays. I must say the 2nd up looks so much nicerin terms of the desoldering job XD

Anybody else go to Formula D?

I didn't see as many rotaries or Toyota's as last year, but I did see a gang of hooked up Nissan's. I took some shots of the Mazdatrix car (Kyle Mohan) and JTP's. I will put them up later cause i'm lazy.

i'm still 50/50 if i'll be going down to SS this year, so we will see.

just let me know about the FD Shawn, shouldn't be a problem around that time, it's usually pretty slow around here at that time.

Holy cow! Got around to fixing my exhaust leak. Originally I was just going to replace everything from the the Manifold to the main cat but as soon as I get under I notice that a bolt had come off on the precat and so it was just hanging there! Fixed her up and now she sounds normal again!

Ever driven them much? They're a blast drive. Used to have a base 12A model with an RB header, loved that thing. Just wish it hadn't of been a pile of crap when I got a hold of it.
