You already know.

 

I'd be all over it except I have an interview in Houston on the 3rd for Houston Medical Center. Wish me luck!

 

Good Luck Ving.

 

More details on the DMD event.

The actual date is now 10/22 . . not sure why it changed.

The start time is 6pm . . . nothing to sign up for, just show up.

Ruf

 

Dittos . . . you need a high paying job to support your habits . . .
fast cars and women. :P

Ruf

 

whew.. cuz i just found out i have a midterm on 10/1
and its an evening class too

i'm dying to see the 04's

 

Actually, it was pretty funny how defensive they were....

 

Good luck, Civic! I would hate to see you move to Houston (just 'cause its Houston) but a good job is a good job, so go for it!

 

Anyone know someone with a G35C? I'd like to get one down to the next track meet for some serious head-to-head racing.

If not, I may have to settle for a WRX or some other wannabe . . . oh sorry, I forgot Inferno's got one of those "little" cars.

Ruf

 

Ruf, I know someone with a 350Z track model if that helps.

 

Civic, Good luck on the job hunt.

Ruf, Good to hear from you. I would be interested in the oil change/internal lube.
I would like to go to the test drive also.

Mantis, I read that the N20 was working. Can you feel much differance? When do you get the car back from the shop?

 

Danny, You'r camera takes great pictures. Be sure to post one of those photos from the rest stop overlook on the west coast board to give those guys a feel for the turain. I'm ready to go find somemore twisties.

 

yes, i can feel it. car should be ready tomorrow

 

I'll give you your props on teaching me to race at the strip, RUF.

I'll even give you good odds on a faster car like the Coupe or the 350Z because you haven't let me down yet.

I guess we could race with you in your big V6 car and me in my little four door Impreza I use to get groceries (once I get the engine broken-in, of course).

Not me, of course, but did I mention that someone who actually knows how to drive once got a all the way to the finish line in the stock STi? I can't remember what it said on the bottom of the slip but I can look it up...

 

I'm SO going to the DMD thing...

glad to hear you're alive...

and I can't believe you ran into eman mantis... what are the odds. Tell that fool to come around!

good luck civic!

 

...and so the trash talk begins

the weather is getting cooler guys, someone pick a date.

John, I sure hope you can drive that thing, cause I got somethin' for ya.

 

good luck on the interview civic!

 

Oh yeah, with a 75 shot and what you are already making, you should be wicked fast (sounds like something this chick I dated in the Eighties would have said). And since I have so much brain fade from driving a slush box for the last two years, you are right, I may have a hard time getting close to text book numbers (for a while).

Given the way RUF has been talking, it wouldn't surprise me if he failed to mention he got a SC or something...

 

RUF, don't be a stranger, OK? Drop by and say hi more often!!!

 

I need my money back from my nitrous already so I can buy my new kit!!! argghh!! the guy still hasn't paid me yet!

 

thanks for the good luck wishes guys...

set a day for a track meet up in ennis and I'll try to make it if it's not a football w/end.

 

Inferno, how many miles you got on that STi of yours?

 

:P No SC, but I'm working on something, but not in time for the track.

I just wish I had some bucks . . . I'd really jump on the 3.5 upgrade, extrude hone some parts and a few other small items . . should drop me in to the mid to upper 13's. Just fast enough to hang with a newer WRX . . unless the guy misses a launch or shift.

Ruf

 

Weather is definately getting there . . . I got to get some things tweaked before then. I'll be disapointed if I don't break in to the 14.5x range . .

Ruf

 

I'll be seeing 13s very soon... my headers and icebox come in in 3-5 days. Can't WAIT! Gonna have to have some garage time to put them in.

So that puts me at:

Comptech Springs, Icebox, Headers
Eibach Sways
Potenza S03s

and that's it I think for performance wise.
I'd better be hitting a 13.9x @100-102 or I'll be peeved.

The M5 spoiler looks good but I haven't gotten a good day for a picture yet... been sick lately.

Oh yeah and I upgraded my oil filter to a M1-105 oversize fit tonight. It screws in perfect and is about 20% bigger than the old M1-104 filter Iwas using (these are mobil 1 numbers). And running 5W30 Mobil 1 full synthetic for the past 15K miles now.

 

It has been ten days and I only have 120 or so. In my defense, I have been working days/nights durning the week and the only weekend has been the MSR event and I was in the TL-S from Friday to Sunday. This weekend is my girlfriend's birthday, so I won't be taking any road trips. At this rate, I think it may take me until the first week in October to get to 1,000 (three more weeks).

 

Hey RUF, I always ment to ask what your name "RUF" was for? I know there is the famous Porsche tuner RUF, but I always took you for a domestic or japanese car guy, not a german car guy. So what is the story?

 

I knew there was something I liked about her. . . she's a Virgo too. My birthday is today . . . 9/12/?? . . can't remember that other number anymore. :P

Tell her happy birthday and take her some place that doesn't take coupons.

Ruf

 

Ah yes, that would be me. Ruf Alois I believe was his name. My first supercar love was the 1987 Ruf "Yellow Bird" 911 Turbo. I believe it was the first street production car "tuner" to go over 200MPH . . . 211MPH to be exact. Hense my Ruf87 name.

Bottom line is I love fast hot cars. However, there's a special place for American Muscle Cars.

Ruf

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARK!!!!

Her birthday is tomorrow, and yes, I will take her somewhere nice! She is getting a bunch of stuff that are all things she likes! Last year, she got a wine storage fridge, which was a BIG present. I hope this year isn't a let down from that...

What she really wants is a ring, I think...

 

So any big plans for tonight, RUF? You are the Birthday boy...

You look damn good for you'r age.
