Sorry guys, the weather is getting nice, I see bikes out riding, and I'm getting the itch. Not to metion all the work I have to do to get the car ready once the motor is ready.

What's it matter, you have no where to install it. All you can do is stare at it and give her some stroking anyways. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Ha, ha. I bet I'll find someplace to install it. I'd do it right here in the driveway, if I could figure out how to get the picker to roll in the dam dirt.

What's your target on and off the bottle? What else you doing this winter / spring?

I have done basically nothing as I've been lazy and too cold. So, I doubt it if either of us will see each other for Stanton's opener on W 4/2. See you out there or at Norwalk soon. Take care.

I know I wont be making it to the opener. Too many things to take care of.

I haven't done anything to the car yet, other than pull the motor & take it to ARE.

I plan to put in a tubular K-member from ARE, when I put the motor back in. Plans for this year include a direct port nitrous system. Taller skinies, taller slicks.

Goals this year are, 10 on motor, 9 on spray. That's probably going to have to be the limit on this car, until I can get me a house.

Hopefully, we'll get some good video of you breaking into the 9's! Are you changing your trans / converter? Take care.

Trans and convertor are planned for later in the year. For now I think I'll see if I can be one of the first to get into the 9's with the A4. I had been thinking of a 400 T, but, if 9's are going to be my limit on this car, then the weight penalty is not going to hurt me by going to a 4L80E. $$ dictates I put that on hold, so I'll just have to run a window switch for now. I know it wont hold up long, but there is nothing else I can do.
