Hey Rob, if you want to do a raffle I could donate some free stuff (console plates, gauge plates, etc...)...

Heck, since it is a free dyno day we could get the local "clubs" together and have a cumulative dyno competition, that'd be cool...

Everything has been alright.... I just need to get the motor mounts done sometime after you're all settled in the new place. Oh and my back right shock completely blew out a couple of days ago (damn Tokicos), the shock even started leaking- I ordered Koni on car adjustables should be here sometime at the beginning of next week. I could've called Tokico and gotten a replacement since I only bought them last year but I really don't want them on there anymore. As far as the shop location... I really wouldn't move too far from your current location. The current/former location was almost a mid point between the L.A. area and SFV. If anything I would move further east a bit into the North Hollywood/Burbank area just so you can be in a good middle position between L.A. city and SFV. If you don't have anyone helping you look yet, I have a family friend that does commercial real estate and could help you find someplace quickly.

Rob can you recommend any good hotels real close to the new shop? I would be planning on coming down and staying the night so I could have a few cold ones at the BBQ.
