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.

Subscribed. I'm in for one, either through a Group purchase or if Dean wants to split shipping with me.

I'm waiting to pick up an aftermarket cam before I install it, so I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Welcome to the club. They are a piece of cake to turbo and they really need it, especially with the auto.

If Pagemo hasn't hooked you up let me know. I have a set in very good condition.

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.

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/

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
