Keep in mind I'm an extremely **** engineer, a couple percent which normally isn't much to a normal person is a huge deal to me. I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever choice you make.

Tires are for dinner.

Seriously, my stated assignment is to blow $100 of my company's money for dinner. It's going to be sweet.

No. I'm still deciding on tires and my car is going back into the bodyshop Tuesday. I like the Advan Neova AD07s, but they're quite expensive. The Azenis RT615 in 235 is the other choice. They're cheaper, though not as good as the Advans and wear a bit faster since they're molded to 8/32nds instead of 10/32nds like the Advans and will introduce a bit of odometer error.

Hey i'm headed down to Socal the weekend of the 21st, I'll be picking up a an Axial Flow short shifter because they're so damn close to my parent's house. If somebody wants to put in some orders, I'll pick it up and save you guys the shipping ($12).

PM me or email me at

you have no idea how much of a crazy bitch she is. she went to the doctor on monday for stabbing pains, and was told that if she had came a day later she would have been hospitalized for the kidney infection.

fast forward to earlier today she was starting in her rugby game and they won 99-0. she would not miss the game for anything. so she is ok now

I heard Michael J's is pretty good, but they're all the way in San Jose. Personally I'd use Livermore Collision Center: (925) 443-2909 ask for Bill. They're a smaller shop, but they really stand behind their work and are willing to work with you and any strange requirements you have until you're satisfied. Tell him Liyan sent you.

Geoff Sanderson (pronounced the same) was a hockey player. I might give Hayward Mazda a call about my gear oil smell issue. It seems that the rubber boot has a bit of the smell in it.

For paint, I might have a couple of people that can do it. To install, hehehe, I have weekends free and a cordless drill

I thought you went to Hayward once already? They're the best! I have to go get a trany flush in a few weeks. I'll be headed to LA this friday morning, anyone want anything from RacingBeat? If you want flashes done to your car, I'll talk to my buddy that works at RB if a few people want them done.
