No, I havn't got it yet, hopefully this week.

 

Hey Dazy, if you are not set on a MazdaSpeed nose, Ken Scheepers still has the entire front end from when Mazda gave him the body for his race car. He has the hood, fenders, nose, etc. I bet he would make you a really good deal on the stuff. Let me know if you want me to call him.
BTW he got the car finished and it is bad ***. He put down over 800hp

 

Oops, it did not come with the nose anyways. I know the need a hood. Let me know what else you need.

 

And BTW Dazy here is the roads over by Lockheed I was telling you about. Particularly Shore View Dr. There are some really nice roads close by as well.

 

Thanks! I'll have to hit that up as soon as I get her back.

 

Are you kidding? Those roads are nice ans twisty, she can't even make it out of a parking lot!!!
(OK...OK....I'LL QUIT AND LEAVE DAZY ALONE! JUST QUIT YELLING AT ME!)

 

The parking lot WAS twisty!!!! The road will be easier b/c there won't be stupid trees and curbs in the middle of the road!

 

Maybe Chris ought to take a run on that road (if there isn't any traffic) before he gets his suspension and then again after the suspension upgrade.

 

Good idea! I wouldn't be surprised if he's been out there already. It's very close to his house.

 

have you been out there? If so, hows the traffic? also is this a residential area? Don't want to put anyone (kids especially) in danger.

 

I haven't been on that road before. Kinda surprised because it's right by work too... I've been on some roads in the general area that are farm roads so no kids to worry about. just cows. :D

 

There are a couple of houses, mostly trees on either side and a lake It is a road you want to drive at night so you get a little more warning because oncoming lights will refract off of trees before you actuall see the cars. Most importantly watch the lake side (North) part of the road. There are some 15' or so drops including some directly into the lake that could be pretty bad. But hitting trees at high speed sucks too as Dazy found from low speed
Another great road right by there is Silver Creek Rd. Follow that road about 3 miles and it gets pretty intense. There is an area that is real twisty and the trees grow completely over the road so it is like a tunnel That is a great place to just scare the absolute **** out of your passengers :D

 

Sounds great!

 

Hey, maybe I should go on a run on that road if I can get my passenger airbag pulled. Dazy, wanna go for a ride?

 

I need airbags....

 

No you have built in "FUN BAGS" much better than air bags.

 

Fun bags that I can play with whenever I want.... D

 

girls are lucky sometimes :D

 

getting hit in the face with the "fun bags" is much more fun too

 

lol, you guys are funny

 

You better tell your boy fixing you car to get a move on and that you need it in a month!

 

I told him last week that I REALLY wanted it back before April 22 and he kept saying that he would have it done in time to return the rental, 30 days. We'll see....

 

If he needs us to do anything like pick up parts/supplies to get done faster let us know!

 

He will have it before then. I pointed out to him that we were going to Austin and everybody wants to see the car. He said you already let him know that.
It will be great advertising if all is well and by default it would be very bad advertising if it was not. This is a high visibilty repair for him meaning a lot of people are watching this.
These are the kinds of jobs that can generate more business. Those are the best kind of jobs a shop can get.
So the incentive to do this job quickly and nice is definately in your favor. My concern is the suspension work.

 

That was my concern too. There's a lot of metal under there and I'm concerned that something may get missed. I think Gotham was going to work on that, but I'm not sure. The exhaust should be in any day now and I would think it would be easier to repair the suspension without the exhaust, you'll have more room to work.
