nice, can't wait to feel the difference from yours and mine with your new heads.  i installed my OEM window visors and replacement pillars today. looks slick.  i'll take pictures when i wash it.

actually, i was a supporting actor in the play, you'll notice my name at the top (Brian Beaudry), those four names are the actors.  i also wrote all but two of the songs in it, and performed them.  it was a pretty cool experience, and has actually inspired us to write another one, which i've been doing in my spare time.  it's awesome!

but yea, next weekend we should all definitely meet up.  but rockville is about triple the distance for me as it is for ya'll. lol.  can we meet somewhere between baltimore and DC? somewhere along the 95 corridor?

same here, I forgot to mention that Paul will also be raising the compression ration and according to worldon1finger (V6P Member) it made a huge difference in response. dont get me wrong, it aint no J36 6spd, its more like an extra kick from what you have right now.

ROFL!!!!! Dont worry man, you know I laugh out loud everytime I find out something new about you, among other things of being a member of ECM. I did however noticed your name, but only gave me the impression that you were credited to the work you've done.

anywhere, BUT in DC. Your not getting my car in there.

^haha i don't blame you on DC, it's the same in baltimore.. such shitty roads!

i made the suggestion of meeting up in Ellicott City, MD for a meet awhile ago, it's almost identical drive-wise from bel air, md, and from reston, va.  I don't really know the area that well.. but I researched a park or two up there we could go to..  it's an hours drive from reston, and and hours drive for me. (according to google)

You can't get me into DC because my dad bent one of his factory hubcaps on his company vehicle because of a pothole, the steelie inside of it too of course suffered a bent as well, i mean thats crazy! the other reason is that two of my cousins got their rims stolen within an hour parked in the street (rims like ours, tuner rims 5 x 114) so i dont know man.

Fine we can try Elliot City.

^yea i feel ya, DC can be rough i hear.  Centennial Park is the place I was looking at.  it's a park with a lake (good photo spot) and plenty of parking lots, so we can seclude our cars in one of them.  we've got a week to figure it out.

Dudes! just got back from Bmore meeting up with mr_smc steve and picked up/installed the Neuspeed Strut Bar!!!! Can't wait feel the difference on Joplin or equal!

Now i just need my damn suspension work done  Should i really bother with the coilovers or just go with springs?  and sway bars? somebody said somthing about using somthing from a TL instead of bothering with the coilovers

congrats on your first suspension upgrade. but dont be too confident in the way your car handles yet...The more you pay for, the better it is. I can see you having coilovers because you work a lot on your car on your own, so I would think you would have to patience to constantly adjusting your height (or possibily dampening) preferences to your liking, especially during season changes. They say the TL rear sway bar makes a drastic difference in eliminating your cars body roll. B_beau, Blinx197, both have those mods. I have that mod too, but I can't say because I had nearly my entire suspension setup upgraded in one day so all I can say about that is that everything made a difference and nothing more.

maybe next saturday. For this Sunday, NVA-AV6 and TG are organizing something at their place. I say its a very well worth drive over there, no matter how far you are.

I'll see assuming I got nothing else in mind. Either way, I gotta travel far so I can put some miles on the TL-S Cams and Ported and Polished heads w/raised compression ratio so I can dyno the car. I definetly need more practice too, I'll be doing some practice tommorow. pretty tired from wetsanding one of my wheels today, I got 2 more to go...

^i don't think it's too difficult of a drive..  i've only been through there once or twice.. didn't really stop.  maybe i'll swing through on friday or something after work to check out some spots.

tremmor, you should go to paul and carrie's for sure, if you can make it.  i can't but i wish i could.  and you will notice a difference with the RSB.  but when you get dropped it'll be sooo much nicer lol.

shouldnt be too difficult if you have some source of Navi leading the way. but without it, you wouldn't be seeing me there or anything else beyond Northern Virginia.

Yeah, only problem I'm having is getting the money for all this  Well, i figure by the end of May I can afford my Apexi WS2 exhaust at least.  If i can find a cheap set of coilovers+rims so i can slam my ride, i'll take care of that.  But for right now, I need the GO JUICE!!!!

[Bobsk24]

Derrick....Wanna sell me your old k24 block?

That sounds good to me but it depends on how long you wanna wait.  This project probably wont get goin til around September or so, hopefully earlier but that's what it's looking like at the moment.

Cool .....just call me and let me know whats up.  Are you going to be keeping your old exhaust set up or is paul going to re fab it up to the j ??   I want your pulleys also.  What other bolt ons do you have???
