I do feel your pain. I teared up when I read your post. My wife(Tiffany 26) was diagnosed with cancer 3 months ago. Tomorrow will be her 5th bi-weekly treatment and as you know the treatment is so hard. We keep on though because there is some hope that something will work and beat the disease. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Just don't forget about yourself. My wife tells me all the time that it's harder on me and her family than it is on her. Not really sure I believe her, but it is very hard on the family.

God Bless.

P.S. Just a thought, is there a way we can donate parts to be auctioned off on here and the money go to her for the 10 second build?
 
I wanted to post a Bio on Wendy.

Wendy is 35 and a Wilmington native. She is not only beautiful but smart too. She likes to work on cars. She races her car and has backed it up in the past. She run one of the local fastest mustangs in the area. She launched the car in second gear, what a spectical! She has mentored the new comers to the scene wanting to make their car fast. Have posted several technical answers on this board. What else can I ask for in a wife.

Thank you too all those that have really chipped in and this is going to be a quick build. I have gotten a GT4069r, sheetmetal intake, dyno time, rods, possible tubular manifold for T4, and I havent checked all the boards yet.

This is Wendy and Kevin (kiggly) @ Showdown at Englishtown (her insperation )

I hope all goes well with your wife and I too am sorry to hear that. You know I havent given up hope but I am also am realistic. She is a fighter.

If you want to get something together to raise money that would be great. I contacted the local Mitsu dealer and I think they may be doing a fund raiser also.
 
We are sincerly sorry about your bad news and
Id like to offer a helping hand from mitsubishigraveyard,we dont have much in new parts or performance stuff but we do have a large inventory of used parts
feel free to contact me anytime in any case via email or phone 631 484 3085
 
Wow...my heart goes out to you both. I hope the best for you and your family. Anything I have that you guys need please let Steve know or PM me. If you guys need a hand with anything again, please let me know.

When the big day comes to go back to Englishtown, NJ I will definitely be ready with my DSLR to capture the moment.
 
Hey Sandy,


It was great meeting you. I appriciate the support! I will keep Steve posted on the progress. I will be posting pics soon. How the car looks now and through out the build.


Best wishes,
Brad Pate
 
Awesome can't wait for the build! Please let me know if you guys think of anything I can help out with.
 
Hey Wendy and Brad, I just got informed about the news and i know it has been said before but my heart goes out to both of you and your family. I personally hope her wish comes true and if you need anything that i could provide PLEASE do not hesitate to ask ! I had fun hanging out with you the past weekend and hope to do more of that soon. Again please don't hesitate to contact us for anything. I consider only a select few dsmers family and you guys are a part of it.
 
Wow. I'm speechless.
Wendy and family will be in my prayers.


This is a very good thing you're doing for her, Brad. I would also recommend setting up a Paypal account for donations, and putting together a list of parts needed so us non-vendors can give as much help as possible too.
 
Ok guys,

I just found out we are getting a fully built motor from Carl (Good Virations). I just cannot express enough thanks to you guys. I must admit I dont think I can keep it under wraps much longer. Goal is to just tell her the car is getting a cage when Jason and Brian pick it up this weekend. Wendy is on the computer alot and she has Chemo starting tomorrow so maybe I can keep her off the car forums. Yeah right!!!! Heh

The support has been phenomenal :hellyeah:

Best wishes,
Brad Pate

PS. If donations are wanting to be made please send to [email protected](paypal) that money will help with extra expenses getting the materials needed. Race gas, etc........

Thank you!!!
 
How is she doing as of now?
Man that's a big hit to my heart. I'm so sorry to hear that. I guess life don't hit us till times like this. I wish you guys the best and I'll be praying. I can't even describe your pain just like when I lost my brother in law to cancer!
Ashame I never met you guys, would of been a pleasure!
If you don't mind keep us updated on her and her chemo tomorrow!
Damn!
 
The kindness of all of the DSM guys makes me have more faith in humanity.
I wish there was something I could do, I will donate later. I hope you get the car done in time. She will be in my heart. Stay strong buddy.

I'm posting this on my local dsm forum, I don't care if they flame me for it, It's the most I can do to help at the moment.

-Scott
 
anybody who would flame you for posting something like this is a true ###.

Really sorry to hear about the diagnosis. My mother has been through it as well, ovarian, cervical, lymph nodes, breasts, my thoughts and prayers are with the both of you.
 
Sorry to hear. I've never met Wendy or Brad in person but if you've followed her posts you can tell that Wendy was willing to help you with whatever she could. Her bubbly personality comes across in her post with all the smiley faces & LOL's in them. Good luck & let me know what I can donate to help.

Brad and Wendy, Erin and I are really sorry to hear the bad news. You guys and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

We would like to help out wherever we can with this. Can you post up a summary of the car and also what is arranged so far? This will help whoever is trying to contribute figure out where they can fill in the gaps better. Are you trying to make it to E-Town for a particular race? I know last year the conditions were good for the Outlaw Street FWD Shootout, which happens this year on Oct 3rd and 4th. 2nd Annual Airwerks by Borg Warner Turbo Systems $10,000 Outlaw Street FWD Shootout - Honda-Tech

I wish I had more time to talk when we met on Sunday. I'm always a little wound up on race days and I usually just try to stay focused to keep on top of getting the car down the track.

Kevin
 
Please keep the prayers coming. She starts double chemo today to get the tumors to stop growing in her liver. She has been in some serious pain. It was explained to me that is like the hard shell on a sausage and it is growing (mulitlying in the liver ) and the pain is from the pressure. I have a list of things I have been donated so far:

Wier Automotive Racing- W.A.R- Home of the fastest and quickest DSM's in NC. building the car, GT4094R, sheetmetal intake

National Speed- Dyno time to get the car dialed in

Carl ( Good Vibrations) Fully built block, T4 manifold, Aem Standalaone

Kiggly Racing ( Kevin and Erin K.) Are sending T-shirts for Wendy. Also wanting to fill in with some things that are needed in the build. Wendy has always watched what Kevin was doing so when our 2 year old got old enough to go to the track and try some things out. She loves the FWD!!!

Boost Boy and Girls Racing- Spoke to MIR owner to get the event in Nov. covered for her and hotel reservations.

JNZ tuning- wanting to help in anyway they can.

A special thanks to her online brother Steve ( steve93talon). Steve has always been there for Wendy when she had a question or just wanted to chat about whatever. He has kept her on the right path to obtain her goals. We spent the weekend in PA with them and went to jersey for the Showdown. Wendy had a great time!

If I have left anyone out please chime in. My brain is full right now.

Best wishes,
Brad Pate
 
Hi Brad, I was just checking in on the thread. Hope things are going on the right path so far, I got a pail of C16 waiting for you guys. I'm glad to see the community is getting together for this good cause. Im not sure what this could do but ill put up my V45 Magna up for you guys if it could help out in any way shape or form.
I enjoyed spending the weekend with you guys and I'm glad to be surrounded by good people in the DSM community, again i ask please don't hesitate to let me or everyone that was there with us this weekend know what kind of help we can offer. you and your family are in my prayers. Thanks again for the wonderful time and looking forward to doing it again very soon!
 
I spoke to Jason at Wier Automotive. The plan is to run E85, the cost of the gas is so much cheaper. Ok these are the things that we could use.


1600 CC injectors(4)
FMIC 4" thick, large core
Fuel Press. Regulator
Aeromotive Pump (eliminator or equivilant )
Pre/ Post filters for pump

Will keep you posted as things arise. I am so grateful for the overwhelming reponse and the way the DSM community has pulled together. I still believe in miracles!


Best wishes,
Brad Pate
