Car is back from Speed Secrets

Eliis dropped off my ride after installing the SFC, LCA, Panhard Bar & Torque Arm and as always he did a great job. You guys were right the SFC made a nice difference and the rest of the parts make it track straight as an arrow when you hit, it was dancing around guite a bit.

I've got a set of Bilsteins coming and then I am gonna quite modding for a while

Funny it was the Colby show I met up with you guys with a bone stock car, since then. Lid, Bellows, T.B., Intake, Cam, Headers, Corsa, 4:11's, SFC, LCA, Panhard Bar, T.A., S.T.B., Pro-kit, Shocks, Wheels, Power Antenna, Grille, Wire Mod, Battery, Fuse Panel, PCM & Fuel Rail covers, Shift ****, then or course Todd gave me a lesson in polishing metal and I had fun doing that.

It has been a fun year learing how to work on my car. Special thanks to Mark who took many Saturdays to teach me which end of the socket set to use.

Oh well... there are a lot worse things that you can spend your money on. I remind my wife of that all the time when she says something about how much I spend on my car.

And Mark taught you which end of the socket to use?

Oh yeah... I get it, when Mark tells you to use one end of it, just use the other end and you've got it right.

I hope you enjoy the new ride, Steve. I know when I did all that to my car it took a bit of getting used to but I really have a blast with it now that I know how to drive it.
