Ppat,

Sorry for that bad turn of events....I hope the driver that hit you has Insurance.
Sometimes in intense collisions your body won't show signs of injury for up to a week or even two for any soft tissue damage. Just be extra careful with everything you do.

Jason, i met you at the drift session in Mineral Wells a while back.. You mentioned that you had a hook up on toe arms. Is this still the case? I'm gonna break down and get coil-overs soon and would like to delete the buckets. Can you help a brotha out or direct me to where to get them? Any help would be appreciated.

Monthly meet: awesome sushi restaurant....!!

yes, NTB as well......they will not advertise them, but if you walk straight into the bay and ask for used tires, they will usually walk u to a rack in the back where they will have stickers labeled on the used tires with permanent marker giving the price......not a bad option of course, but 50 bucks for a used potenza is ALOT actually.........

any local mom and pop tire shop sells me tires for 30 to 35 bucks max!! sometimes cheaper!

tons of places like that all over DFW...im lucky enough that my work in Grand Prairie is in a very industrial area and im surrounded by them..........if any of you guys EVER need really good INEXPENSIVE replacement tires.........let me know..i know where to go, who to ask for, etc...

ya thats feasible.........hit up the local tire shops in Grand Prairie, arlington, or anywhere really.......mom and pop shops.....

if you can, show up in another vehicle to pick them up, buy then, then once you have tehm all go to another shop for install, balance, etc..

My ankle hit the side of the jeep so hard that it actually busted the skin open. I've broken 18 bones in my 21 years lol so I know what a broken bone feels like and this really feels like it might be fractured but hopefully not more than a hairline fracture. Regardless I will still be out at tms this Sunday even if it kills me lol
Damn you can't catch a break can you? Sorry man, hopefully if it is fractured it heals up quick! Gotta' get back in your Z!

It would rain here the day after I finally really clean the FX.
Spent about 3 hours at the drive in car wash between scrubbing it down and then going back and drying/quick detailing.

Lol Stu That sucks.... I was cutting the rear dust shields last night and it started to rain on me... and 2 in the morning...

Forget what I said the other day about there being 9 Finalists... there are 6.... started with nearly 2 dozen people back in May. I am going up against a guy who is using UNT Laser research, and a group that wants to start a brewery/restaurant. Good news is I am the only one already in business and not a single one of them has half the reason I do to win this money.

Sounds like I can AutoX out here in OSP!!! I may go do some fun runs to practice and then get the FX dialed in over xmas break in time for next years events. Unless I can find a way to lower my coilovers here.

Thanks for the best wishes guys. Thankfully I am feeling a lot better today. Ankle is not broken and I can almost walk normally again (still a bit of a limp) and my neck and back are still pretty sore but I should be ok. The guy actually hit us in front of the shop and when I walked in I told then I was there to pick up my car and asked for a first aid kit lol since my ankle hit so hard that it busted the skin open and started bleeding a little. And yes I did drive the z home even with the bummed ankle lol I waited too long to drive my baby again and I wasn't about to let a bummed ankle take that away from me.
On a side note, I went to the store today and got everything for Sunday and I went ahead and put that flywheel in my trunk for you Jason so I won't forget it lol
