time to make up for some posts i didn't make today.
have my company meeting in providence convention center followed by a work sponsored trip to dave and busters. it was a good time overall- they had more than enough food....i'm still stuffed and beer/wine/well drinks for free all night. i had a couple of vodka drinks a bunch of beers and felt pretty damn good.
one of my coworkers won a big stuffed animal. in our drunken state, we decided whoever possesses that animal is in charge (my boss and his boss are both gone for the next week), so since i have it in my car, looks like i'm the boss.....OH NoESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

i'm going to try to get a dyno rented in the spring for the day. i probably need like 3 hours of tuning personally (gas tune needs to be cleaned up, meth tune and then meth/nitromethane tune).
i know tdc's dyno is $100/hr to rent, so if i can't find a better deal, i may go that route. at least i know it loads up accurately and they have a good cooling/ventilation system (which ESP did not last i saw)

Anj, I probably will end up doing that...just want to take note of all these options as well, it's going to depend on timing quite honestly. I'd like to have all my stuff installed by the time the weather gets nice, which could be....well who knows in new england, maybe late april? It depends whose coming here and when, I wouldnt mind just getting some base dyno runs in so I can compare before/after, but I dont think I'll have a chance to do that. Have scheduled a time for Ivey yet, what time were you thinking about heading down there? Tim, where are you getting tuned, if any place?

dex i was doing some research and it looks like the clutch line is universal to the 6 and 5 speed. I have a feeling mitsu used that same clutch line where ever possible. Let me know if you still want to get rid of it. Otherwise i might just skip the braided clutch line when i remove the restrictor pill.

I go to Northeastern University, studyin' mechanical engineering.
I'm on coop right now for Pollak Aftermarket, we make aftermarket parts and OEM parts for commercial vehicles. Best thing is we make the ball switch for the reverse lights for the new Corvette (that testing was a ***** because that tranny heats up like a mother...)
I was in Providence to meet up with some girls from Brown. I just managed to get lost on the way back cause I left both the map quest directions and their phone numbers (on the directions...) in their dorm.
(No worries they called me later that night)

i was always a CS (computer science). i almost switched to ME freshman year and didn't . i was actually really thinking about going back for my masters in ME. one of the major drawbacks is taht i'd need ~1 year of prereq classes.
