  1. The guy sounds like a tool, but at the same time I know several couples with children under 1 year old and they hardly get any sleep. I'd try to keep cool for 6 months, after that his kid will be old enough the guy won't have much of an excuse.
  2. Subscribed. I'm in for one, either through a Group purchase or if Dean wants to split shipping with me.
  3. I'm waiting to pick up an aftermarket cam before I install it, so I haven't had a chance to use it yet.
  4. You're mixing people up. S&M were two brothers, Shawn and Mike that sold that fabulous tri-bar strut brace for the front and they made a matching one for the rear. Shawn also was known for sewing up shift boot covers. I met Shawn briefly at Carlisle one year. Really nice guy. IIRC his brother moved down to Brazil and I think Shawn eventually moved down there as well. Shawn Silva is/was a fabricator from Canada. He made the 1st (as far as I know) adjustable cam gear, and also advertised his own intake and exhaust manifolds. I have both the adj. cam gear and the S&M bars.
  5. I had been planning to go to this for months, but Fri night was a friend's birthday party that didn't end till 4am. I slept through my alarm and missed it. I wasn't bringing my car so it wasn't a huge loss, but I still wanted to go. Hopefully they'll do it again next year.
  6. You guys know that the location was changed right? It's in Delaware now. Here's the new address: Wilmington Blue Rocks Baseball Stadium - Lot A. 801 Shipyard Dr. Wilmington, DE 19801-5154 http://www.mitsubishicars.com/MMNA/jsp/owners-site/owners-day.do
  7. I'm going. I should have my badges any day now. Not sure which days I'll be there yet, probably just Wed and Thurs.
  8. AWD doesn't mean the car has launch control. It takes a lot of practice to launch an AWD car to it's full potential, especially one that is turbocharged. The margin of error is small, it's a new car to him, and with the car being well used he's going to have his hands full.
  9. Craziest garage duo ever? http://www.deviantart.com/download/87310646/lamborghini_reventon_wallpaper_by_albenyd.jpg http://tharunaya.info/mx0125/wallpaper/image_wallpaper/Maybach_Exelero_Concept,_2005.jpg
  10. Welcome to the club. They are a piece of cake to turbo and they really need it, especially with the auto.

  12. If Pagemo hasn't hooked you up let me know. I have a set in very good condition.
  13. Looks great! As I was looking at the first couple of pictures I noticed the original headlights were starting to yellow and I was thinking: "I hope he doesn't go to all the trouble to paint the truck and leave the headlights like that". Obviously you addressed that with some really nice replacements. I hope the truck continues to run great after all that work you put into it.
  14. I just ran into these photos of a customized Starion scale model. I wonder if he was inspired by Burton/Kate's car? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/crazyhorse001/Starion/IM000761.jpg http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v205/crazyhorse001/Starion/
  15. If you were happy with what you had why not just replace it with a used OEM headunit? http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=saturn+ion+cd+changer
