Haha, I forgot he's in my Avatar but it's way too small to see what he looks like.

greetings gentlemen from upstate ny. since i know you guys are a bunch of alcoholics i figured id share one of the new beers i just tried.

its from the ithaca brewery. called cold front. its not gona be released for another couple months but i know the owner and he gave us a couple bottles to have us taste test. its 7.5 percent (so a little weak) winter hefeweizen style and its super delicious. such an easy drink. if you guys are ever in ny or possibly wayne PA you should check that and the TEN out.

Honestly, im not gonna lie when i say the IM is a total pain in the d!ck to get off. I wouldnt pay someone that kinda money to take it off though.

I agree on the boost leak test for sure. I just redid mine from when I had mine off a few weeks ago and realized my throttle body gasket was leaking like a woman on the first day of her rag!.
I sealed it up with RTV for a temp thing until my new gasket and shaft seals came in yesterday.

that being said, does anyone feel the need to RTV a new tb gasket? Or just the freash crush of a new gasket normally do the trick?

Why not wrap the mani? I love the way mine came out. it smells like *** right now but after the enamel bakes on for a few days it will go away.
Here's an older pic of my little tax deduction Ethan. He'll be 3 this Sunday.

Lol. I love that pic. He was anticipating the flash and "helping" my sister in law make cookies. That little dude is the reason I breathe some days.
I so want BBS wheels but I just dropped a buttload of cash on parts over the last 6 months (and I wasted 10 hours sandblasting and re-powdercoating mine last week.

I would have bought them a few weeks ago but i could have sworn you put for sale or no longer available on tristatetuners.
Good luck with your sale though
