Looks like I need to take a trip down to see the new shop. Did reid ever get a dyno like he was saying? Funny how I have seen your car in person at reids old shop but I have never met you.
I need to meet up with you sometime. I have been leary of taking my car to renegade or to srp as I dont know many people over here on this side of the state for when something does break. I could go at the end of the month but I will still be on my current setup. I am hoping to get a tracking number on the new turbo and manifold any day now.

Ya, your more than welcome to swing by and take a look around the shop. Its at 110 Gum st, in Kennewick. He did get a dyno (Dyno Dynamics), its only the two wheel drive model. But with the VCE that we have the AWD drive cars can be dynoed.

The chances are slim to none. One of our orders for fittings and AN lines didnt go through so I have no fuel system. But as soon as that order comes in were going to complete the fuel system and put it on the dyno to do some tuning. Then, if nothing blows up were good to go.

Well we wont be going racing on the 29th. Oh well. Good things come to those who wait. Or at least thats what they say. This is how the car sits now. It draws alot of attention when people walk into the shop. Can you blame them?

No updates to speak of, were just WAY to busy at the shop (KAIZENSPEED). Hopefully we'll start rockin and rollin on it in a week or so. But then again, Ive been saying that for the last month. lol. What is the problem with the solonoids? Just curious. Hopefully its amazing enough to go 9.0 this year, but the season is slipping right through my fingers.

You going to be around this week?
Im leaving by train in the morning to go get my car from Lucas. I ended up changing alot of stuff around including having him build a stage 4 tranny.
Go figure last I talked to ya it was the throw out bearing that somehow decided to come apart.
