WHo owns the Acura dealership? I didn't know they were in trouble, but hell, EVERYONE is in trouble now. I just looked over my AIG Valic account, lost 24% this term. Economy is bad bad bad bad....I am going to stay in Mexico and be a bartender or something!
The only thing I've noticed about the economy has been it's now alot cheaper to fill up the Trailblazer
Ricky Martin, You need to check out the video Zack posted over on FWM. its shows you getting a win on Cobb, and has Cobb actually winning some races. The end of the video is you with your thank you speach. Soooo funny!!!!!
the racing isn't the best, i missed 2nd and still walked past him at 100 but the commentary at the end by ramon is worth the watch.
Ben, what's the schedule for Saturday? Meet here in town somewhere and head to LMS? A cruise Sunday would be better for me, but I'll be there Saturday 'til at least 1:30.
Alright, the schedule for the CALL911 cruise is as follows. I will be at the Shell gas station at SR14 and I-69 at 11 am. Anyone interested in a cruise to LM Speed can meet up with me and whoever else there at that time (departure from Shell at 11:15). As of now, I also plan on staying at LM Speed until the dyno day is over at 5pm.
Then we will get final confirmation on where to go for dinner. I believe there have been 3 different places suggested, a diner, another buffet place suggested by darkness, and then the place C6NVADER reccomended. Depending on what everyone wants to go for, and what will be available for a group our size will determine where it is.
The cruise will continue after dinner back into the Fort, to the IPFW parking garage for the photo shoot. After that, we'll cruise to Halls.
If anyone wants my cell, just give me a PM. I'll be bringing both the video camera and the Canon camera for pics.
Blake, if you want a ride, it would probably be easiest to meet up at the Shell station.

Yeah, they are fucking us pretty hard in the Fort on gas. I was in Norwalk, OH over the weekend. It was 3.15 here and 2.67 there.
Ben,
I'll meet up at the Shell, sounds good. We can stash my car at my office, which is all of 1/4 mile from there.

G'damn, 5 hours at LMS...I may just meet you guys later. Lighting could be weird by the time you guys start wanting to shoot some photos...may suit you guys to line 'em up at LMS and have Ben snap some.
I'll be taking shots throughout the day. I've done the IPFW parking garage shots before, and even at night they turn out pretty good. I am all about kicking things off for dinner and the photoshoot earlier though. For all I care, we could go from LM Speed to the photoshoot, then to dinner in the Fort. That may be even better as we will have more light, and more options for food back in the Fort.
I know its ultimatly up to me, as its my last cruise in the Fort, but I want to pick something that accomodates as many as possible, so feel free to throw up more suggestions if you have them.

Shit, forgot it was your last cruise. Now I have to go!
Pictures turn out there at night, but the lights they have add that disgusting yellow tint to everything. It just makes it harder to post-process. I'm as Nick says "DFW"
It's just aluminized steel, 14 gauge. I don't have much space to work with as far as bracing the turbo, so I went with the heavier gauge aluminized instead of stainless to try and prevent cracking with the weight. The turbo is only 20 lbs, so I should be alright. The pipe is a little heavier than 16 gauge or stainless, but I figure 2-3 lbs won't hurt me too badly.
It's going to swain for their "white lightning" ceramic coating, so it should be well protected.
I'm going to try to get the passenger side mocked up tonight, it's got to make some severe bends in not a lot of space, and merge nicely to keep the crossover pressure in check, so it'll be loads of fun.
Nick/Beast,
I'm trying to keep this tight in the places that are snug in an FD in the hope that it'll fit yours and we can just make a jig for it (Drew, jig for you too). I have a bunch of extra pipe, so I may just make up a spare to use in one of your cars or sell on the V8RX7Forum. Oh, and Drew, I bought an auto-dimming welding mask at China Dock (Harbor Freight). I suck WAY less at welding when I can see WTF I'm doing.

Awesome, subframe and kit (minus driveshaft and bumpsteer) should be sent out today/tomorrow, or monday at the latest, so we might be able to start doing some "mock up"
