Just gotta convince my brain of that. I have an ATI damper and a 12-1 timing wheel on the way. All I really need after that is an oil cooler and there is really nothing else I can think of to improve track reliability without spending a lot of money.

Tempting...but if I do change turbos it will be a gtx 2867r turbo. It fits my 2860 turbine and is plug and play with my T25 downpipe. Big upgrade in spool without needing new exhaust manifold and downpipe.

Not necessary AT ALL though, so someday.

Except for adjusting those headlight covers. C'mon, Jeff, we expect more from you.

Invasion of the bodysnatchers? There is no way the real Jeff Bucc would say this.

The length of time I will deal with it is only until I have time to remedy the situation

At this point I am going to leave it just to constantly **** you guys off. There has to be something to for you guys to bitch at me for! I thought maybe flaring(correctly) my fenders for future wider wheels/tires, but Ed said he'd slap the stupid out of me if I mauled my car like that...

I must have leaned on one side and the bracket slipped a little. It was straight I promise!


*edit* Ed, I actually had to google what the hell ILY meant...I'm feeling old now.

Maybe we should avoid MRLS discussion right about now based on the direction this is heading. Better not mention the orgy breakfast we 5 MT.net members enjoyed together.
