Eric, Fiberglass & resin work is easy...just very smelly and messy ! Gloves and a mask are essential along with good ventilation.

You want to bring it over and we can fix it ? call me.

I used to do a lot of work in high school fixing my surf boards !

Yes Chris I will be doing all the work....I will try to do my best to document it and post pics. I will be taking my time....no racing until June 23rd, so I have plenty of time.

I have everything ready to go.... just want to make sure i have plenty of time once I start the Resin stage with fiberglass...it gets really messy quickly so I need plenty of time.

I failed in that aspect. I only got to see two cars on the dyno. Two different EVOs, one running E85 and made 360hp/460tq. The shop is so much bigger than before and those COBB guys are pretty cool. I got to meet Mike and he let me drive the frankenZ. lol

Chris, which event is June 23rd?

Hey Daddy ! How are you and the little girl doing ? I hope mommy is well and the rest of your family.

Sure would have been nice to see you at the shower/BBQ....sorry I missed it. I'm looking forward to seeing the daughter....will you post pics of her sometime soon ?

Take care and try to get some sleep.

This is what I have been told as well

Eric - FrankenZ... that sounds German -

As for the COBB Dyno day - it was kinda weak - but it is always nice to go there, the new shop is so big and clean. - the big bonus was to meet Eric and his buddy - oh and pick up a T-Shirt i won.....in a picture contest....with my Z.

Eric took the time to learn me on the brands and bolts - indeed SPC not SPL - and in checking SPC, they say the tow bolts came with the package for the rear camber arms - (i would need an experienced diagnosis there or I will just try to adjust them and find out) yet they also sell them separately it would appear - I guess there are locking bolts as well, that I can buy, because the camber slips on hard cornering? That sounds serious in my opinion - does this really happen?

Which MD exhaust, condition, and price? I broke my current exhaust so I'm in the market for another, so I may be interested.

Man, I wish I was in TX. I'd love to watch you do it so I could learn and fix mine.


I should be coming back to TX indefinitely sometime this summer, though.
