You guys crack me up Kimchi is that bad if is done right, I would not trust even the ones in the Korean markets in SAT. But It does take time to get used to it.

The best place for kimchi is a place in Seoul that sells Samgetang Which is the young chicken soup with Ginseng yum yum they even put ginseng on their Kimchi and believe me it does not smell at all like

did you guys know that kimchi helps clear the carbon buid up and ginseng tea in the tank gets you an extra 10 RWHP

now you know.

It's so sad that you Army guys only get to go to Korea, Germany, Afghanistan, and Iraq. While I was in Cannes, St. Rafael, Italy, Greek islands, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, England, Ireland, etc., etc.

Oh I am sure you do, I (my ship was part of it) did the reenactment of D Day in Normandy for the 50th anniversary so I was in Portsmouth for a week with the British Navy, Dutch Navy, etc. It was fun.

Luckily my only goal while in PR was hot mamacitas. Had I been into rotaries I would probably still be there.

It's up to you, you can try a 5W-40 or a 10W-40. Or you can use Mobil 1 0W-40 but it's expensive if you don't jump on the sales when they happen. Personally I always recommend 0W-40 Mobil 1 but a good 5W-40 or 10W-40 should be good. Shels makes a synthetic called Rotella T 5W-40 and they sell it at Walmart pretty cheap, if you wanna save money. But you can get Mobil1 deals for $30.00-$40.00 or so with a Mobil1 filter.

In deed a great deal IMO My issue is that my core is NO BUENO

I took a better look today without cleaning it and def need housings, 1 Rotor for sure front rotor is done the back one is questionable.
all irons will need to ne relapped...$$$$$$$$$$$ Balance$$$$ plus upgrades

So from an econamical stand point I will be better off to go with a reman with the MAZMART upgrades.

Shipping to TX is not much more poquito more than FL.

That way I can later use my ECC Shaft for my RX 7 build.( is lighter)

Plus what I read they are very reputable builder and good business.

The Turn around is fast too. so I could be driving my 8 faster if I get all the other pesky things that go bling bling and zoom, zoom....

Mazmart has a good reputation, I do believe they are using Mazda Remans now and just modifying them. But just call Paul for the details, he is a straight shooter.

What Hoss has is a custom setup from Fat Cat, you want Bilstein PSS9's. But in looking around it looks like the price of the PSS9's has gone up a bit. Maybe consider H&R, KW, Eibach, or talk to Houston about his custom setup.


You can get the PSS9's here for around $1500.00 new.
