Hey Blackura - what are your plans on Wednesday? You're not working at BS yet right? We outta get those wheels painted as long as it's not going to rain. Then if/when we need to let things dry between coats, we can either swing out to Josh's to drop off the RAM if I haven't done so by then, otherwise we can play some 360 or something
I was gonna go up north but i'm not going anymore. And I've decided to just buy a set of 03 Type s wheels instead. But I'm still down for hanging out with you guys and lending a hand on wednesday.

Well, if your not painting your wheels, then there is no hand to lend... err.... however that would go.

You ever played / any good at a baseball game called The Bigs? Luke (LS1dribbledrool or whatever his name is.. lol) always beats my ass at that game.

So... Luke - is that a challenge for Tuesday night or Wednesday during the afternoon? Give me a call or let me know. I'm leaning towards Tuesday night if you want, but big'gers can't be choosers.

If your free Blackura - you can swing on over too. I'll let you know when it will be. Guess what too... you would be the first of the group to see Luke's car. We can only dream of getting that many horseys in our cars

Wierd.... I fat fingered some sort of button combination that made the text to speach box pop up and started reading all the text on this page...lol

Ok - so back on track. 9pm is fine with me if it works with you. Like I said, no worky for me in the morning. So if we wanted to play Bigs until wee hours in the morning, fine with me.

What's up with this weather? Unless Jorge's garage has A/C - I'm not doing shit outside except grabbing the mail.

I think whenever it's not 900 degrees outside, we should get TS_Vaj and Slepy over to someone's house and have them both do their own headers, and we can lend a hand if/when needed. Plus, if we are doing it on 2 cars, it will be a little easier to learn as it gets done on the first one, and apply it to the second.

That is, unless we have a header expert among us. I'm not that guy, but I can't remember if you have headers josh.

(by the way... it still pisses me off that you guys can buy headers for a few hundred bucks.... lol)

I don't know a thing bout putting them on lol...I got em for $100.....I just need them installed. I don't trust myself....I might degrade the car. Only stuff I've ever done is basic stuff like intake, changing out headlights, taillights, installing lip kits etc..easy stuff.

I'm gonna keep looking for places that will put em on for under $300...or else I'll just sell them if I can't find anyone heh.

Headers are pretty easy. The hardest part is getting the nut to break loose on the stud instead of just pulling the stud out of the head and then getting them out of the car.

I figure we can get a single set installed in a few hours at the shop. It most likely will take longer for the car to cool down than it will to actually get the work done, so plan on bringing the car, hanging out and BBQ-ing for a bit before we dig into that big beast.

So, bring some beer and some burgers and brats and we'll get the headers installed. If you are dead set on paying someone, you can throw a few bucks at us

Come on, he has kids, we all know that means he doesn't have shit to do. Actually, it's more like he doesn't have time to do anything with us because he's got to cart them to soccer and baseball practice.

"it's Friday, you ain't got no job, you ain't got shit to do!"

By the way, if you're bringing beer, I drink Strongbow English Cider. As for the headers, we'll get them done, just maybe not in 10 minutes or tomorrow.

We could go, but it would have to be a short visit. I have this bomb ass party to goto (for a 4 year old...)

So if this is actually going to happen, and it's an ealy meet - I'm down. I/We'd have to leave around 1:30 or 2 though.


Is there some sars going around or something? My throat hurts and is all swollen - been like that since Monday. I just chalked it up to too much partying over the 4th.

Any you guys know a good place for 4 wheel alignment around the whole Saint Paul area? Just wondering what's the best deal before I just drop by the first place I see.

Got my springs n shocks on so I should do that.

It's not St. Paul, but this place hooks me up pretty well. It wouldn't hurt to give them a call just for the pricing. If it's good, may be worth the trip out to Blaine for it.

North Country Tire - (763) 757-3130

This is the only place I've ever had work on my car that "wasn't someone I knew"

Now that I think of it, they have worked on my Expedition, my dads explorer, my TL, the wifes Cougar and her shitbox Suzuki. I'm gonna have her log onto Suzukizine and sell that sonovabitch.
