Marc - Saw a car just like yours at the Verizon store on the SW corner of Merle Hay and Douglas today. Does yours have blackouts on the tail lights?

Yes, that was likely Dave driving it. He was doing a wire tuck in the engine bay and cleaning it out. At least somebody drives it I guess

Want to buy it? lol

FYI, the last Midnight Madness & Quick 4 Shootout is this Friday night Sept 9th @ Eddyville - $20 to run all night & then you can try to qualify for the Quick 4 shootout at no more cost & if you're one the quick 4 you get to compete for the $100 cash if ya win!

Street legal, DOT tires, & mufflers are the only rules

They use the mph to qualify for the event and usually if your 90mph or above you've probably made it to the quick 4

No thanks Believe it or not I had a 95 TA that exact color back in 2003. It looked pretty much identical to yours.

There you go, Josh. All times sake. Except stalled auto (you probably had a manual). I'll even give you a special price

Lol sadly with this market I doubt I'll get what I want for it and even then it would hurt me to sell it for my asking price. If I get too many more low *****, I might just cry and take down the thread lol

I tried like hell to get mine back together, I really wanted to bring it down and hopefully I would've had something for you.

It should be running this weekend and I want to make a couple trips to eddyville for fun nights and then a trip to CFR.

Hey Charlie how did the car show go?

FYI, next Sunday Sept 25th is a R/J performance Fun day @ Eddyville - Its basically a Test & tune & car show, the best part is admission is free as well as the car show i believe, the track prep is good & the air is the best this time of year so if you're wanting to see the best times out of you're ride bring it on down! (see website for details)

(Dang i sound like a salesman........)

Are you glad you were able to get rid of that boat anchor LT1? What are you going to upgrade to?

Just a reminder, bonfire this weekend in Norwalk. Weather is forecasted to be perfect bonfire weather so I hope everyone can make it!

Marc, if you bring a Eclipse, you have to park on the shoulder of the highway

I wish! We had the pump rebuilt (even though it was new when we bought it) and has only filled probably 10 bottles. We are still having the same problem...thinking maybe our mother bottles may not have been filled properly. I have monday off so I will probably head over there and try to get it figured out.
