oh wow, I love Acura TL's. I actually almost bought one before I got my 8. I went to test drive the 8 and I remember thinking.... If I don't fit in this thing, I'm getting a TL.

Hey Gerry we need to have a detail day sometime, just been soooo busy with school and catching up with old friends.

My Dad is finally selling his car. He was working on making this into a show car and do a single turbo conversion but he doesn't have time to work on the car anymore. Its so sad that his going to sell this car but were looking at possibly moving into a bigger home so its highly likely that he won't buy another sports car for awhile. For pictures and info go to.

hey jun. am sorry to hear that your dad's finally decided to sell the FD, as i know u guys really love that car for what it's worth, i'll pass the word around my old FD friends and see if anyone is interested. and, i hope u guys get the best price...

i think we've all been busy lately. so, no worries... i always appreciate your help whenever u have the time... so, we can play things by ear and get together to do some detailing when time allows. i have to work again this saturday. so, maybe we can look at how things look after that.

The reason for the exhaust is that my dad's friend has been wanting to buy it off of us for a while now so were selling it to him. It will come with the stock exhaust though.

i have also been looking at the 99 - 02 v6 2dr. body style honda accords. honestly, that would be a more logical choice for me though, not another 8.

did what I expected.

1st went to the Evo (driver 1)
2nd went to the Corvette (I expected the Evo Driver 2)
3rd went to the Evo (driver 2) (I expected 3rd for the Vette)
4th went to keith
5th went to me (I was 5 tenths off keith)
6th went to the Supra (the owner)
7th went to the Supra (co driver)


The 5 tenths I was off of Keith, was 1 tenth off Keiths time on the left course, (yeah that was CLOSE!) and 4 tenths off on the right course.


EDIT: it was El Toro.... Just so ya know.

The SAW series is starting to feel like a tv mini series. SAW 3 had a lot of flashback scenes in how they set up the torture devices and things (which was partially interesting)...but let SAW 3 with very little story line. Probably go see the 4th, maybe not at the theatre this time....and may be ready for check out on this line of films.

I mean, how many Friday the 13ths, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Chucky..ect movies can you watched before it gets old....and the story lines get silly?

SAW 1 was definately interesting because of the twists...not so surprising anymore, sort of predictable now.

My monday...going well for a MOnday. Got my oil changed this morning.....in prep for our dyno day. Still got to get to my air filter and change my transmission oil. Still getting a bit of grind...so may just switch back to dino oil.

Casey made the same switch, from Amsoil back to Dino oil. We drove his car hard this weekend and neither of us had any transmission issues or grindage.
