We should look each other up withen the next two weeks. I transfer to ATG in October. Are you still in?

I think I left before that one. My last full deployment was Operation Enduring Freedom. I left the navy after my first 6 years were up. My wife is still in (she was on the Vinson also), currently in the Gulf on the Ike. She's just over 10 years and will probably re-enlist while they are out and finish the 20.

I'll try to look you up next week.

It sure is. I was always amazed at the high quality cars that would show up for the cruises.

Say.... did you do your own tuning? I see you are running OL-SD.

I think I am gonna get an UD pulley next. Cheap mod. The Roadrunner, WBO2, and EFIlive set me back about 1600 bucks.

I did do the tuning myself. Bought HPT after I put the headers on (about 1.5 years ago) and learned as I went. I had an lc-1 setup for tuning while I was in Hawaii and did some tuning for a few of the phfba guys. I've changed over to an AEM wb / guage which is more permanently installed. I'm kinda out of the full tune business now. I can help out with some of the easy stuff, but that's about it.

hey fellas, kind of off topic, but my wife just registered her car down here, so she has VA plates now, but it was registered in Mass. so she still has a state inspection sticker from up thier, so she got pulled over this week because of it. Her E-brake is Faked, its the one u press with ur foot, but it doesent do anything when u push it down. Will she fail inspection down here tommorow?

Yes, Is it just the cable that is Disconnected? Or is it not connected in your brake drum?

Easy to fix...

Not sure, could it just be worn out? It used to work, but her mother had it for awhile and would drive with it set, so im thinking its worn out.

Yeah I would say so. Do you have Disk brakes all the way around?? If so, if you take the rear rotor off there should be two little shoes that look like a drum set up. Those need to be replaced, or you can try adjusting the cable were it is on a bracket and Y's off to both brake rotor's.
