Hey SA!

Just wanted to say hello to see how y'all were doing. Still up here in Delaware.

Just wanted to see what's new with everyone. Any new mods to the cars and any new HP/TQ numbers.

Take care

Matt

You need to move back down here Matt. They may be building a Toyota plant here so maybe you could do some weld inspections on some of the new trucks.

As for me I'm still waiting on the car to return. It will officially be 4 months tomorrow. A lot of us will be heading up to Ennis for SLP day next week and then we have the Spring Break Shootout at San Antonio Raceway (RCR) on March 9th.

The car club is going well also and we have an average of 10 cars showing up every Tuesday. Ole master Bran set the meets up and then only shows up once in a blue moon. So how are things up there?

Hey, that wasn't nice. My car is intakeless at the moment. I'm trying to get the fuel system up to par and it's taking a bit longer than expected. I have the freshly powdercoated intake back along with the 72 lb/hr injectors. I'm waiting on a fpr, y-block, and all the fittings and line. It might be done by month end but who knows. Anyway, Matt we'd gladly take you back if you decide to move down here again. I don't have anyone to stand around and watch me work on my car............

I'm chilling and now unemployed again. If I can get a job back down in SA...I'm there. Life is going alright. I'm hanging out with my friend Mandie and just chilling like a villian.

I miss the club down there, up here at the one meet, I hardly had anyone talk to me. I was like...WTF? Its not like I'm a bastard to talk to or anything.

Bran...do you still have those pics of me when we were working on your car? If so, FWD them to me...ok?

well, hopefully I'll make it down there soon. Talk to y'all later

Are you KIDDING me? I had to MAKE you take a break the last time you were over here. You work like a madman. The lower control arms on my car are there thanks to you!

Wow. Thanks. I appreciate that. I'll be around more once I get the car back together. Any word on yours? I would imagine it has taken a toll on your pocket book by now. Ouch. Hopefully it will all be worth it.

Matt, i got your IM the other day, sorry i havent responded, school's owning me lately. and yes, you are a bastard.

I just saw that 'bout the Toyota plant. Glad to see that we didn't screw that up like the PGA issue (as previously mentioned).

Hope all goes well up there Matt, and same for you Ben with the car.

The 2nd engine should hopefully be going in sometime this week. So I am guessing it should be here by mid week next week or right around SLP day. We'll see, I just want it back and miss driving it. Hopefully it will all be worth it though. It purred nice with the first motor, we'll see how the second one holds up.

Hey how bout dem Hurricanes!!!!

Yeah, well my car has a 427 in it now, beefed up the tranny, put a dana 40 in there, tubbed out the wheel wells, cut a hole through the hood for the supercharger, installed a two stage wet nos rig, placed in the top ten at the IRONMAN triathalon in hawaii, recored a platinum album, wrote a novel, posed for playgirl and married a super model.

Other than that, life's about the same.

Good to hear from you matt.

Me.

ps. as you can tell I was lying. C'mon, do you really think I wrote a novel?
