Thanks for the kind words men -- it sure has indeed been a long, expensive, fun and taxing haul.  Only wish I had MORE time to drive it, and with all of you guys.  Best, SJ _________________  Racing is life. Everything else is just waiting. http://umg.mn3s.orghttp://ummo.boards.net

Reading your story makes me scared of graduating college. I don't know what's going to happen to my car once I actually have some money...
Congratulations!

Congratulations! Thanks for the kind words MS. And Justin -- I'm not exactly sure what you mean there bud, but I think it means LEARN TO BUDGET NOW. Or, keep it stock... Don't laugh, it is an option. I couldn't though...  I would love to do so much more to it, but the past couple years has been fixing problems on work performed as far back as 1998!  So 1 step forward, 3 steps back. Then of course there's the odd gremlins and the ever present lack of info that can sometimes be frustrating. We're lucky to have such a good club and to have that tall bald headed guy we call Jeff. Seriously, I figure if I save my money (LOL with me -- anybody need a kid? ), I'm thinking I could have a pretty nice fast car with another $10-12,000. If only...  Right now, I'm trying to figure out which rear strut bar to buy (TEC, solid or adj. Cusco), and then saving big time for a much better clutch is next, which of course all getting in the way of fuel mods and dreams of larger turbos. Once you start you can't go back -- it's like Lay's Potato Chips or Duncan Hines...  Best, SJ _________________ Racing is life.

Yea, I was referring to the insane amount of money I'm going to end up spending. My plan is to have a 4 car garage with an attached house...

SJ I also missed that you were in the ride of the month. I didn't notice it being posted that you were even entered and then I was travelling on business for a week. I get home and check the computer and noticed you won. Awesome, probably one of the few people who won without their local chapter members all voting for them. You kept quiet and never told us.
Way to represent the group!!! I thought you had a 93 VR4?
Can't wait to see the car in person.
Kyle
