Yeah, they are in east hartford I do believe. they do alot of import and mustang crap I guess, there's some clown that runs around the pike all the time with a white mustang with a single turbo on it... car's pretty quick, but the guy is a ********.. think's he's king ****. You need to bring your turbo car out here when it's done and smoke this joker's door's off. Actually, I know a guy that's got a motor at Eastside right now getting built that will be able to more than blow his doors off once he's got his car back together, but it sure would be nice to have a couple guys do this joker up good. He's on this board.. name's kissmyss01 I think. They got a supra too that makes about 675 to the tires on C16 fuel. Put it this way... I wouldn't send anyone I know there to get anything done.

Class was awesome.
We used Chris's white mustang on the dyno... nice car and makes good power. Stock engine with the turbo and runs in the 10's.... cant argue with that... I gotta say, at least in the classrom situation, he was cool. I saw nothing to suggest an attitude, just my 2 cents.

I know that I'll be there. dunkin donuts on Friday nights.. look for the big tall fat goofy looking guy.. that would be me. Saturday nights is usually burger king..a nd now the kripsy kreme is supposed to have a curise every other saturday. Every other Friday is also hooters... another good time.

That guy Chris is gonna be in for a rude awakening this year... I can think of a couple guys that will be down ther ehanging out with cars that will reduce him to a school girl in a hurry. Should bring him back down to reality.

My car won't get the job done I'm sure of that, but I should be able to take care of most of the rice after this next wave of mods

chris's mustang runs good.All that car has is a set of trick flows that I ported and the orig. stock bottom end inc. the cam and a 67mm turbo and runs 10.50's- not bad. The black supra thats at xx, I did the motor in that car and he has the same turbo as chris and his supra made just shy of 790 rwhp. Not bad for a chevy guy I guess I can't say anything about how or if they race anybody though.

Man.. WTF. Not to bring up a dead thread but...

I never met you and you act like I just knocked up your mom. You know what's funny, 90% of the people who haven't met me hate me, and that started when my car started making power. People who have actually met me and know me know that I'm a pretty stand up guy, unless I don't like you. Sorry you feel like I'm such a dick, maybe I was a dick towards you at some point, but maybe it was deserved?

Scotty - Wanna run it? And who wants to race if you know you're gonna loose? Your white car was fast as *****. I had alot of respect for that thing, especially after you let me drive it.

Jammer - Hope you had a good time, lookin forward to meetin you again.

JL - What can I say, sounds like you are an Alfred sackrider, and if that's the case, sorry you feel the need to hate me because you "heard" I'm a dick. Maybe the next time you see me, say hi?

- Chris
