As far as the WRX idea goes, LOL @ Making any power. However if your up to it we can meet up when my STi and your EVO are running and go for a run on the tollway?

I like to bug the Scooby guys in the area. I suppose we could arrange a little Mexican highway adventure!

I'm very excited for them. However, if I need some extra cash for the build, they're the first to go for funding, unfortunately.

Please do, it will only benefit you. Plus you'll have it for any mating surface similar. Thank me later, with a trip to Doylestown for some beers when I get in town.

Looks good, but I figured they would have more beers on tap! I became a huge fan of Maxwells on Main (Mom's) when I came there. Place had a bangin' burger and a good beer selection. However the burger at Penn's looks pretty good!

It gets awkward when you get used to that and ask for a Lager in a different state and they give you the

I need to adjust the tension of the belt and put my timing cover/accessories on and she'll be thrown in the car!

Oh yeah, someone donate me some nice cam gears so I can get rid of these Fidanza pieces of trash.

*Negative Post Warning*

Well, scratch that whole cool -10an valve cover idea. The VC cracked at both of the holes for the fittings.

I'm done trying to do different stuff, as I don't have the funds to literally throw away, not to mention I just dropped $75 getting it powder coated and still have to buy a new one, or the fact that I got a custom JMFab Catch Can made specifically for those fittings.

If anyone wants to buy the bangin' catch can let me know, as I'm not ruining two $15 fittings, a $200 valve cover, and wasting $20 worth of SHCS' all to have it crack again.
