Extra effort this week. John is going to do his best to get me out the door so I can drive home on the weekend.

Ported 2G-o2 is out, E3-o2 is going in! Finally, the E3 turbine is going to match up to the E3-o2 housing. Ever since I rebuilt the 16G - removing the cracked 2G turbine, the miss match housing (not visable externally) has been bugging me. This way is the right way.

Well, damn that suspension is sexy. I noticed they managed to stick you with yellow springs!

Is John Freund also part of this somewhere?
