I was thinking about coming down today for a little while to tinker on your car. I love a good no start issue!

Hopefully I'll get to tear apart an R3 pretty soon...

South Austin RX club does not allow automatics.

Its quite possible. I don't take stassney very often. Well I'll keep an eye... or an ear rather out for ya . I've got an OEM intake but doubt you'll hear that unless I get on it. Very dark tint & a longhorn symbol on the back. Just turned 21 thurs so I have no doubt I'll be blowing some paychecks down on sixth street soon.

Nice! I'm down at little woodrows on 6th 3 to 4 times a week.

South Austin RX club members are big drinkers.

Haha hell yeah, we go hard in the ATX . Havnt made it the the one on sixth but I drank a few at a woodys down south. Thursday was my first time on 6th, so I've got some exploring to do. I probably looked like kid in an amusement park for the first time, Eyes darting around everywhere trying to decide where to go first.

Thanks. Oh I've only just begun . I'll be setting aside mod money so it doesn't burn a hole in my pocket when I'm down on 6th.

Finally got those damn LED's in. Big thanks to cornholio. But only after dealing with the light popping off inside the damn assembly! Had to use a bendable magnet pole, 30 minutes and quite a few cuss words muttered I finally got it
