in salisbury, there is a place called 'wink's bbq'. The sandwich literally melts in my mouth. Damn near delicious.

Jason - I'm still down to do my rear and sides tomorrow if you're game. My front lip should be here soon, but not in time to do it this week. It will likely wait till Monday...or I'll get my fiancee to lend a hand and tackle it myself. I tend to be rather impatient so we'll see.
Yeah I am down. Make sure she is really into to helping you first though. Definitely don't want your front lip on crooked.

Nice. Yeah I'll wait till you get back. I want someone that is OCD like me working on it with me. She won't give a flying F what it looks like, lol.

Do you think I'll have a gay mobile with sides, rear, and no front? I can't have that...even if it is just for a few days. I have appearances to keep up here

Yeah if you were going to run front and sides and no rear I would say go for it. Sides and rear with no front is kinda weird. I did it for a few days though lol.

I did but from where it stands now it isn't an option...or so they're trying to tell me but they aren't getting too far because I'm not hearing any of it. I know I won't receive the part today and tomorrow you're not available so I have to work with what I got at the moment and deal with them accordingly. They're pissing me off.

Since I knew they weren't going to be to hip to the idea of overnighting it to me...and I figured they'd say it wasn't available or whatever, so I arranged for it to be overnighted via my company shipping ID and told them that they can cover the cost of it ($215). Morons...

I have a bad feeling that two mods on the jet ski that aren't costing me anything are going to cost me in the long run by making me want to do more. Going with this Riva Pro Series Waterbox for the exhaust setup.

I already know I want to do the $750 Stage 1 kit with new intake, new prop, new intake grate, and something else cause it will get me to 71mph. Plus with the exhaust it should get me to 73mph via GPS not crappy speedo.

Yeah I got a couple areas I can keep it for free already...just don't know when I'll ever get around to getting it here.

I refuse to sell it so I might as well transport it down here.

Wait I thought you got rid of the check engine light a long time ago?

If not you seriously need to get the programmable ecu that is available for the TL now as I am sure you are easily loosing out of 10-15whp by not having a proper tune.

Alright so jet ski parts are ordered and being shipped to the shop. I was going to do the install myself but my dad just wants the shop to take care of it so I am not arguing.

I am however impatient to ride the new beast and wish it would be done today . You guys might not hear from me for a while once she arrives no matter how cold it has gotten outside. The other ski is available if you wish to tag along Brian, Eric, Jack, Tyler?

I am just going to guess that by next spring I will probably have or be ordering the stage one kit of it Speed addiction is good

Also what is the status on your taillights decision right now cause it is easier to install the taillights before you install the rear lip. Just putting that out there.

Brian I had only the side and rear A-Spec pieces for a month or so. It drove me crazy but it made me appreciate the front piece even more

(old shitty pics btw)





And then I got it on!

Well things got 'interesting' when I arrived home last night at 1:30am or whenever it was...

Don't worry I'm still breathing so all is well

However, I didn't go to sleep till well past 4am. That combined with a 6:30am international conf call does not start the morning off well. FML

Sorry man. I told you you should have just dropped the car off and then gone to dinner or something. Not that I don't enjoy hanging out though. Your going to have to spend lots of time with her this weekend and make up for things now.

I get the concept and I always correct myself when actually writing things which is why it is weird. I for some reason my brain just doesn't pay attention to it on forums.
