I'm hoping to get some bits and pieces with my tax return. I picked a mini-batt bracket and was hoping to nab some coilovers. I'll keep you in the loop though. And a guy in Greensboro, that's quite a ways out. There's a new guy on base with a silver mr. I'll see if I can't get him out this weekend.

Ali- I think thats the first time I've heard you voluntarily give up whp lol.

BTW got to ride in to work today. First time in a long time. Felt nice to be out on two wheels. Tomorrow is supposed to be mid 70's...craziness. I'm hoping to be able to work from home the second half of the day so I can wash the car. She also needs wax on the fresh paint from the repairs. O and new diff fluid. Gahhh so much to do lol.

lol ya it was a tough decision but after getting into the details of what it takes to install it, it came out to this (so far..lol)
1) modify oil dip stick bracket
2) grind the flange to clear a couple of bolts
3) order new ucip custom for the manifold with a tail flange ($300-500 coated black)
4) order a map sensor adapter kit or get a bung welded on the mani ($65)
5) gasket ($40)
6) possibly modify the tb cable

so at the end it wasnt worth it for me. moding should be fun and challenging at times but not this much..lol

So who all is coming to the meet tomorrow? I only specifically remember seeing me, Jason, and Ali and I'm too lazy to go back through the thread and look to see who else

Just saw a silver X on Six Forks at the Lynn Rd. intersection around 12:30PM...

I still plan on making the meet. For the guys that aren't familiar with the area, theres a little strip center right next to the Best Buy at Brier Creek that's pretty much empty...that's where we usually park.
