Damn, summer time has really slowed down this thread huh!

Hope everyone's doing well.

My second set of Yoko ES100s are running down to the wear bars. Anyone have a suggestion for summer tires that they really like in the 120-130 range? I like the Yoko's but wouldn't mind trying something else cuz they're pretty noisy.

Toyo Proxes T1S maybe? Who sells them locally?

Nah, I'm holding off now until I see what happens with the sale of my car. After attending the Houston Meet with me, Blades wants the bitch, and he is in the process of selling his ghetto sled in order to buy it.
I on the other hand, continue to hunt for a SMR 6 speed with </= 20k miles on it.
Oh the drama that is my life Oh yeah I'll get those pics up of that caddy with the BR5's on it in my Dads apt complex...saw it today as a matter of fact.

Have you installed your Mugen shit ?

YAWN

Did someone say mod meet!

Sorry, guys. This remodeling has been , but it's almost done. Just got the cars back in the gargage a week ago. Sigh.

Anyway, let me know who's still up for it . . . I know Mantis is itching to get his done so he can go

Call me tomorrow around 2pm . . . if your not too hung over that is and we'll get that cooling mod done.

Besides the house, work is kicking my and soccer is moving in to high gear, but I hope to get out more . . at least to hang out hear some more.

Hope everyone's been doing well and we'll have to have a cold one or so real soon.

PS: Bluesman, call me tomorrow about the PM you sent me. Sorry I didn't get that so if you still want to chat let me know.

Okay, just kidding :P

I really wanted to follow up and make sure there weren't any leaks.

Good luck Friday . . . wish I could find the time to make it down there next weekend.

I was wondering what happened to our thread here . . . kinda of died down. The I got to thinking several of our main PWs must have had a major change in their life. Casper mentioned something about a new job, Civic is out of school and needs to find a job, Danny has got a big time job as well. Bluesman has gone domestic on us and Inferno is getting domesticated, er getting close to marriage. Hansi, well he's evolving and ol Ruf is suffering from well a little bit of everything.

I guess it's going to take a meet to get things hoping again. So what do we say we do something towards the end of September. It should be cooler . . . just right for

I'm also planning on going to the O'Reilly NHRA Nationals at Ennis. I feel the need for speed, sound and power of Top Fuel Dragsters.

By-the-way, got beat tonight.

But it was some guy in a Neon SRT :P

It was close, but only because I could hear the guy's shifts . . . they were slow. Still fun as I managed to be within 1 1/2 lengths.

I'm sure with a shot of NOS it would have been a win . . . right Mantis.

Sorry, I don't, but I wouldn't recommend Earmark on Parker in Plano . . . did good on the 4Runner (only 2 side windows. On my TLS I took it back 3 times and it still wasn't quite right.

It was from a roll and we punched it around 20-30, so that helped me stay close. I'm sure off the line he would have jumped me a car length.

It was definately a manual though. I had my windows down and could clearly hear him go through the gears.

Well, I did Mantis's cooling upgrade mods for him this past weekend. So we need to get around to yours and anyone else that is needing it done. Especially since it's still fresh in my memory. :P
