Garage is open, boys! Come on down!

Use the side-door entrance to the workshop as Kate's going to be busy ripping up tile.

Due to somewhat lack of interest earlier, I opened this up to the NewEnglandDSM crew as well and should make for a great day. It's $75 for 3 pulls (or 2 with a 1/4 mile run), log boost and AFR, and a BBQ for lunch Dave at ESP said they don't like doing hour tuning sessions during a dyno day, so this is restricted to just the 3 pulls. But it will be a great 'car' day, especially if you have never had your car dyno'ed

So let me know if you are in!
Anybody in? Dave, Dex? I have 11 people signed up already (6 AWD DSM's, 1 MR2, 2 Evo's, 1 GTP, 1 RWD Talon , most likely a Mirage w/ Evo driveline, and possibly one 74 transam). Could use a couple more Evo's

We got a lot done, but not everything... all-in-all, the day was successful.

I'm working on the pics right now.

Yea, Dave, I definitely am leaking oil looks like it's coming from either the sensor wires or where the sensor tightens to the bend...looks like it'll be coming apart again next weekend along with the MBC and HFC...

Oh and for a side note, I had a guy in an "AMG" ride my *** and pull up next to me at a stop light proceeding to give me a thumbs down as he spun his back wheels as the light turned green...Does my plate say "raceme" ? I should have said "hey, nice VW". I really think Benz's (of all kinds) are over rated anyways, but it would have been really nice at that particular moment to have the qtp cutoff, and open it up while 2-stepping him....

rims are on, pics to follow soon

Sorry to hear that man, I can't image why it would be leaking...between the teflon tape and tightening it down...I dunno what to tell you...

Is that a fiberglass 9 front bumper on the white ix posted above? It looks like the lip is molded to the bumper.
