Thumbs up The Phil Thread

I think its about time for a Phil Thread.

There is no better place to start a Phil Thread than at the beginning!

Edit: I think Scott needs a girlfriend.

When I saw the thread title I immediately thought we were going to see pictures of creative ways to turn random Home Depot items into performance parts!

Hereyago! It ain't Mazdaspeed and it ain't JDM .... it made from choice selected parts imported from the far reaches of the planet!

They aren't equal length! The exhaust flange is American. Of course it's backwards. Look at the RB.

I got to be honest, I had forgotten about half that stuff i'd done... When ya'll run out of pictures i'll have to come back to houston and do some more "work" to give you guys some more material.
But for real, ya'll are just jealous that I came up with those great ideas first.

And I might be getting out of order with this one, but it's the most recent one that I was proud of:

And before this goes any further (don't know where this is going still) I think it's fair to point out that Chuck has been a GREAT help in executing/improving nearly all of my best ideas.

If there were a contest among rotary owners to come up with the absolute most ghetto way to purposely modify or fix something, even the winner couldn't hold a candle to Phil's standard level of work!!! Brilliance shows itself in creative ways. I'm amazed that his car made it to Sevenstock and back. To drive it there and back was just plain bravery!

^^^ Phils car rode 90% of the way there and all the way back. My FD got evicted on the return trip so the COSMO could ride.

Best run was 15.1 by Chuck on the SAME CRAPPY TIRES that Phil is killing in the video.

Lemons Officials kicked us off the track at 3PM due to too many black flags for the day.

Left to our own devices (and I had a fridge full of beer) that gave us 4 hours to come up with the Lemon Line Lock and get ready for drag racing at 7PM.
