great deal Civic, I wish I could have come up like that.

as far as the car damage:
1. Parking Lot became full right as I got there
2. I couldn't go in, so I had to back up
3. Hit truck whil ebacking up
4. I'm now poor.

The juice is running great, I think I'm out of my first bottle already. but since the car is in the shop, I can't really do much right now. I'll be moving up to a 50 shot on the next fill up if there is no detonation.

I forgot you'd need the stock mufflers... hmmm, I've been trying to keep all my stock parts to put back on just in case.... but I guess I could probably find someone to trade me later if I needed.

Damn you guys are posting fast...can't keep up!

Danny, I am going to keep it stock for now (the fogs look too much like the WRX for my taste)...

The next MSR event is in December but I am going to one at TWS in November (Bryan, TX)...

I hate the new car bug. And then other people getting new cars *cough*Inferno*cough* doesn't help either.

It looks mean in black.

Love those 350Zs. My headers come in next week soemtime. As soon as they're on I've got a friend with a 350Z+CAI that wants to run on video. It'll be fun. I'll need someone to host for me.

I love the TSX guys. They're a hoot. Check out these two threads.

Texas World Speedway in Bryan, TX. It is an old road course and oval track that is used by The Drivers Edge for additional events. I have never been there...

yeah, they took the count away a while back, then went back through and reset everyone's count to reflect the change.... I went from almost 2000 posts and 8.xx posts per day to 185 posts and god knows what my ppd was.

Poor tekmode over there went from a little over 3000 posts to 650ish. He was at 20.xx posts per day... HE'S a post whore... no doubt

Shit! My car is slow (looking over at STi)

I was picking on FDL for other reasons.

I don't think my initial post was all that troll-ish. I DID think the car was very

Ruf is still alive . . . but barely at time . . .

Soccer is in full swing and so is school, so between the two, and the dog, I don't seem to have much free time. Although I would like to work something out the next few weeks. The weather is getting nice and it's time for some fun.

BTW . . . got some new mods in the mail the other day. I hope to get them on this weekend.

Can you say Mugen . . .

Mugen, as in oil cap? Glad to hear you're still alive and kickin' Mark.

For those of you that remember him, I was talkin' to eman earlier today. He moved not to far away from me and still has the CL, when I move up to the 75 shot, we're gonna go for a spin.

Well 1 out of 3 is not bad. As in you got 1 of the 3 Mugen parts I ordered. Try again. :P

Yes, I remember eman . . pass on a hello from me. Tell him he needs to attend the next meet as he was one of the original members.

hey ruf! glad to see yo're still lurking in around here once in a while.

For the other 2 parts I'm gonna guess the radiator cap and pedals or shifter.

You never know who's lurking or when . . . :P

Ok, I'll tell sense there's know telling when everyone else joins this silly game.

I got the fan switch, thermostat and radiator cap. I believe this is the Scalbert mod . . .

Cooler running cars produce more power . . . .

Also, I'm going to try NEO oil the next go round. Anyone else interested? It's cheaper the larger the container one buys. If anyone is interested we could have a dual lube meet . . . change our oils and lube up our interiors with some brew. :P

By the way . . . sorry I missed out on the TMS event. As it turned out we had games that weekend , , with me coaching one son and the other in competitive soccer my Saturdays are toast. Althought there are a few where we have early games and I might be able to pull off an afternoon. And on those days where we have late games I could always do something after 7pm on Fridays.

I forgot to mention . . . 10/1, that be October 1st, David McDavid Plano is doing a TL vs Type S bakeoff test drive . .

That's an 04 TL vs the 04 6 speed . . . Power is the same, but the sport version gets a few premium upgrades like brakes.

Anyone interested in trying it out?
