Update since I haven't been on here in a while:
-Swapping my 92mm pulley for an 88mm pulley

-Hill's Garage is awesome and also very expensive

-Kirk, I moved the SC fluid reservoir up off of that condenser line and Frank managed to figure out how to extend the reservoir bracket to keep it off of the intake pipe. Also, I met a guy with possibly the coolest rat-rod I've ever seen (60 cadillac deville) who apparently knows you. He mentioned he knows a guy building a 240z track car and I said "oh hey, I know that guy!'.

-He's going to build me a custom undershroud because I don't want to pay $400 to Zspeed.

-Fantastic turnout at my first hosted car show this weekend. 70 cars (mostly classics) but probably a good 200-300 people showed up and we raised a bunch of money for VFW. True to form - I got hammered and sunburnt. It was awesome.

-You also mentioned you had been looking to get Sam to sell you the 88mm pulley for years now. You can buy it right here: http://www.gtmotorsports.com/product...cat=258&page=1
Certainly not cheap, but there it is.

Glad to hear that your car-show was a success! I am sorry that I was out of town and could not make it!

I'll put the pictures I took in an album if anyone's interested. There was 900hp Z28 there that literally shook the earth at idle. Enough to set off car alarms from a football field away.

Sweet, You met Greg, Owner and Chief fabricator at Dirty Hands Chopper...

He does good work and that Caddy is SICK...

Well I almost made it to the meet today but not all the way. Stopped at the Ford dealer about a mile and half away. Test drove and settled on a loaded Fiesta ST. Fun little car to replace my pig of a Mazda for daily driving with lots of nice accessories, including Recaro seats up front. It has a Direct Injection 1.6L 4-cyl. Turbo 6-speed Manual. Driving to and from work just became a little bit more fun.

I didn't have pics of the seats but here is exactly what they look like in another Fiesta ST

m4a1mustang · 11-02-2013, 07:49 PM

Awesome, Jon! I love those Recaros... I get jealous every time I drive Dana's car.

eastwest2300 · 11-02-2013, 08:02 PM

Jon is it manual or automatic? Very nice sir..

Thanks. I was not enjoying the Mazda and the Fiesta's Recaro seats really wrap around you.
