It's required by the Valley Athletic Association where we sign our kids up for sports. It's just a piece of padding that has velcro and goes around the neck for whatever.

Forgot to post this yesterday, but I built a lean-to (I guess that's what it's called) for the boys.

No bonfire! It's supposed to be for the kids!

Yeah, my Z is going away on Nov 1.

Brandon's first night at hockey practice. I've never seen this guy so excited (in recent years). He's stoked. And the price tag? I might have to sell the Z...

Mid-March to Mid-Nov = Enjoyment season
Mid-Nov to Mid-March = Modify season

Because nobody wants an rb20.... If ur gonna do the 2.0 go with the sr 20. Otherwise get the 6 cylinder rb25 or rb26. You can find sr20s and rb25s for about a grand. With the tranny and main harness

I have used Wheels America out of chicago and have had good luck. One wheel was as good as new, the other one could not be repaired due to the wheel being out of round.

I know there a couple places in town that do a decent job as well

I've gotten a recommendation from a co-worker to use Precision Wheels (precisionwheels.com) in Hopkins. I did some searching and found Twin City Wheel Repair (twincitywheel.com) in White Bear Lake as well.

If anyone has used either please let me know how it went. Otherwise I'll just go with Precision Wheels.
