Spaz that sucks bro losing the job and I can imagine retail is tough dealing with the public can be tough to hang in there man keep ya head up things will get better
Nice man about the car. I'm sorry to hear about your foot surgery. Why did you need the surgery? How long is the recovery?Quote:

I've got another motor vein built at the moment. Looking at a completion date within a month and a half.
Looking to have Jason Hunt tune my car and see what he can do with it. There's a shop just 10min away that he can tune out of so it's a quick/easy access.
I'm looking to run at IFO in march and Honda day in April for sure.
I had something called platar facitis its from standing a lot and all the jumping around I do. Recovery 3-6 weeks so I may or may not run my car at IFO but I I'll be there either way . Its my left foot so the twin disc may be a little rough on my foot at first just have to wait and see trust me I wanna run the car asap .I have heard good things about Jason Hunt but have never used him for tuning be interested to hear your thoughts on him.
Oh gotcha gotcha. Well I'm glad you've gotten it squared away and are in recovery. The twin disc will definitely be hard on you at first. Hope the recovery goes well man.Quote:

And roger's prelude went 9.3 was the best I saw witch is amazing as well. And some guys from va built a hatch that he's tuned and they street raced it. That car is fast as shit too!
Anyways I'd like to see what he can do with my setup.
I had foot surgery in August and then two weeks ago and I am still recovering.
Snapped my arm in half and lost all.control and feeling in it. Three years and four surgeries later (not to mention the $475k bill) I got to keep my left arm.

Holy shit that was a badass jump though. Lmao.Quote:

I was looking into these.. benefit? I remember there was chatter on here somewhere about it before, but I don't remember where. Are these Zeus fasteners? [MENTION=789]VitViper[/MENTION]
They don't back out? Ever.
They are something like 'stage 8' connectors. Company in Cali is where Jeff got them.
i know this isnt a boosted K series, but i love following the all motor class. Just tonight at IFO Sipes racing/avid racing/speedfactory all motor EG set a new world record.

That's them.
Well for some funsies I raced an older gt mustang tonight. Te raids are wet from rain although it isn't still raining. I spin 1st 2nd 3rd so just sift it into 4th way early. Put 3 car lengths on him by 70 and then slammed on brakes because of wet roads and it was a clear victory. Funny thing is he did a 'ricer flyby' to celebrate his loss.
Don't you love the ricer flyby? Those are the greatest.Quote:
