When she got out of the shower she heard something in the kitchen, she goes out and finds her soda knocked off the table and thinks someone is in the house. Then she sees the cat on the table eating her chicken wings from KFC, HAHAHA. A little background on Liz...she doesn't like animals, AT ALL. She's freaking out, hopping around the living room, talking to the cat "how the hell did you get in here? WTF?!" like the damn thing is gonna talk back to her, HAHAHAHA. She hits it with a broom to get it out, haha. So after she told me that story I posted up a bunch of those cat pics from a few pages back on her Myspace comments, mostly the ones dealing with the kitchen, HAHAHA. I'm gonna post this one up too now, thanks again Greg, haha.

Nic, you're on the MSCCNC right? Keep in touch with them also cause they do some stuff through Tarheel and others that you'd be interested in also.

Sorry but I have to say I'm a little disapointed right now...I thought there would be a little more interest in this.

Oh well, on a happier note...I think I might be joining the Tarheel Sports Car Club soon! They have a lot of great autoX events planned for the rest of the year. And I have been in contact with the Mazda Motor Sports division about getting a racers contract signed with them so, I can get all my parts discounted! I'm looking at starting out in the B Stock class and moving up to the STU or STX class by the end of the year (SCCA autocross classes).

Also, I'm waiting on an email back from SpeedSource about possibly working for them when they return with the ST class RX-8's in Oct for GT Live!

I had to look up the instructions found out ahead of time and just went ahead and bought the tool from autozone.

GT Live is going to be insane this year. Anyone else plan on going? The event organizers are looking for more people to help work it if any of you guys are interested. I'm doing promotions again this year. I'm thinking about running with Jonny in the lap battle (if Jonny runs again this year). WRDR.. WE REALLY DO RACE! hahaha.

Im not paying hinson for any of that mess.. ill do the harness myself, vette rad with volvo fan whcih my friend already has for me, ill get a fuel system together some how.. and the pyro ls1 kit is only 1200...
you can give me some imput on that josh you would know how it turned out.. but i wolnt lie i definately have NOT thought of a 17k budget for the car hahaha
it looks like a really nice car though

i dunno. it sounds like you have hookups on a lot of the drivetrain stuff.
a roller that clean is going to run you about ~$7K but if you can get most of the drivetrain stuff for about $4K. then i guess that still leaves about $6 in playing room.
The advantage of his car is it is almost done. it literally only has a couple of weekends worth of work on it.
it looks like it has some suspension done, prob springs since he doesnt list it. the wheels are worth some $$ they are old school.
honestly to build a nice LS1 RX7. i mean with suspension, wheels, brake upgrades, etc. i dont think you can get out for much less than 17-18K and that includes your hookup on the LS1. you might be able to do it for less since you know people. i think those BMW wheels would look hot on a black or montego FD
if you have any questions let me know.
my one piece of advice is to get the harness done. it will save you headache. he didnt get hinson to do it. there are guys on the swap forum that will do it for you for about $100. IT'S WORTH THE MONEY. (i still have gremlins, nothing major, just little quirks)

FWIW i think everyone should get behind this idea. this gas thing is ridiculous, and it is all corporate greed. we have more oil in reserves than we should. so it ain't OPEC hurting us, it is the refineries/gas companies. they are bottle necking production to artificially raise prices. they have seen that American's will pay $3/gallon. we bitch and complain, but we don't cut back. so why would they lower prices?
Anyhow, stuff like this makes the long-haired hippie in me come out. time to stick it to the man!

it was a turbo supra in NY for about $7K it was super!!!! clean from the pics
craigslist is a joke now. any good deals get 'flagged' by users so others can't see them.
EDIT: as for the hippie thing. the long hair, no. the free love, and sticking it to the man, yes

The General Lee was there (I've seen him around Hope Mills), they had a 1907 REO there, and also a 1928 Ford with original engine, interior, and paint (aside from the hood), it was pretty much all original except for the hood. He said the odometer said 2000 but it had MANY more miles on it than that. There was also a nice Cobra out there, the old roadster type, and a bunch of other cool old cars, some of them VERY well restored.
