I would only race someone if I had a giant set of curves in front of me, this car doesn't beat many cars in a straight line lol.

I am not traveling on business, at least planned trips, so just let me know the day and maybe we can go out for some beers on the day you get it. We will see if we can get anyone else to join us.

Sure. I'll know more about what day I'll get it on Monday. I'm planning on going in to take car of financing and such on Monday so I can just go pick it up once they finish the pre-delivery stuff.


On a side note, I finished this the other day. The paint is actually Galaxy Blue Silica. I got some touch up paint and used that.

I have been noticing several groups of car owners meeting on different days in the long parking lot in front of Men's Warehouse on Woodward by 13 mile. It is a pretty cool location to have a meet up, has a long border with Woodward. We need to get together again, for something quick. I am working on putting a time/place together for an informal meet up. Working out my travel schedule.

I have a few questions. Has anyone put in the Perrin bushing for the transmission and have they noticed any improvement? Has anyone done a swap of tranny oil and have they noticed an improvement? I have my opinions on tranny oil and can share if people want, from a chemical engineering prospective.

Has anyone got any work done by shops locally, and which are good? I don't have jack stands or a lift or the time to **** around with putting the Perrin bushing in and I want to have some place put it in for me, but I do not know who is trustworthy.

Anyone out there have a set of ramps or jackstands that can be bribed with a 6/12/24 pack of beer and let me use them to swap motoroil out. Will only take about 10 minutes.
