I got a look at the pics a few minutes ago from the email he sent me

Lets hope for clear skies Sat. and that both Taner and Roman get their cars readied in time. I wouldn't mind seeing a little N/A grudge match between them two

One thing to improve on your times Taner, remove those damn Maple Leafs plates

lmao!!!!! well i just got done thrashing on the car for the last ummm say 7hrs. i got lots done only one thing left..... i found one wire that comes from my retard box that i had labelled as 'c'
damnit that was almost 6 months ago.

here is what i got done...
wot bracket installed, switch might need fine tune (need someone to depress pedal to the floor and then adjust it.
new r.side tie rod end is on
riased front end about 1/4 inch
pulled msd from wifes car and put into mine, packaged mine to send back to msd for repair
shift light now also works
readied the rad support behind pass. side headlights to mount a small retaining bracket to keep my battery from bouncing around.
etc....
MAFT + still when plugged in will not allow the car to start

but i didn't want to start the car to heat the motor up and finish lashing the valves at 5 am...doh!

still have to prep inner wells to install the travel limiters...hopefully tomorrow!

Tom,

thanks! that is cool to see it posted like that.

rock,

we ran last year at st.thomas, weren't you there, i forgot to air my tires down, lmao!!!! he beat me like a redheaded step child

Those pics are awesome.

But I'm glad to say that I got a chance to see them in person.

I still can't believe that after the launch, Taner came back to the pits and was looking at me like "what the matter with you" look on his face.

May the good times come.

lmao!! thanks guys. yeah get some people out to the track!

Roman is so right.... when i rolled back into the pits roman was picking his jaw up, i never realized it pulled that high. i watched the run on the camcorder and it was pretty cool too watch!

i got the brackets weled onto the frame for the limiters just have to fix up a strap tomorrow and that is it, oh and course of plugs and o2's.
