My title is a "Ride & Show Tech". I work at Animal Kingdom mostly on the Kali River Rapid ride, but have been trecking over to the new Expedition Everest roller coaster now that it is up and running (a lot to learn on that ride).

Sorry... I almost know yours... CN 70429x ?
Heck ya we have computers! I'm maintenance... we are behind the scenes unless needed, then we do our stuff after the park closes.
Hares on the move again! But Mr. K still doesn't have dates! I hope I have the correct railcar#. Would hate to be tracking someone else's car! I guess since the dealer called me with it, then it's correct.
I wrote "h e l l s" ya we have computers and it changed it to "heck" ya. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

I wasn't even trying to say a bad word!
Good luck tomorrow on your spring change out, Bill! Can't wait to hear about and see the results!
Maybe I'll call an analyst tomorrow to verify the railcar#... never found out, are they there on Saturdays?
What's the number to them again? (Just Kidding!) [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I pretty sure that the UPX number is public, the ERL is not.
Tom- Thanks, I'll post pics for sure.

Like that better than the Flowmasters?
Is Borla a Ford Racing product? I haven't heard them, but the Flowmaster's sound great!

Tom- Sorry to rehash this 2 day old topic, but I came across this site that did an install on a set of Flowmasters. Flowmaster install
On that topic, I just ordered a set of the FRPP/Borla axle-backs (M-5230-5GT). Not too bad of a price at $401 shipped (from Downs Ford, NJ). To anyone thinking about this... too late, I got the last one. Just about everyone that's selling these below retail ($440) have them on backorder til the end of April. I just got lucky! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
Now I'll have something to do next weekend too!

I'll do it backwards... exhaust first, then springs. Thanks for the flowmaster install link.
It's easy to bend the hangers to center the exhaust tips. I'm a really big stickler on that! I'll get them better than they come from the factory (which isn't always that great).

I'm a bit of a perfectionist too, but the hangers on the 05/06 look pretty beefy. I'll have to eat my spinach before next weekend!

Talked with a guy here at the marina that picked up his VB GT from the same dealer we ordered from. Beautiful color in the sun! He has put 1k on it so far and seems to have this silly grin permanently attached to his face. Crazy thing is his buddy riding shotgun looked the same way.... wonder why that is?

NOOOO!!!!! My delivery date was supposed to be tomorrow, but according to the analyst on the 800#, there's another rail car shortage! My car's stuck in Ohio! Kzinti seems to agree on the rail shortage. Well, at least it gives me more time to consider my options and make arrangements. Anyone know what I can expect for an interest rate on the car using dealer financing? they tell me it's between 6.9 and 11%. When they gave me the rough quote when I ordered it, it was 10.9% which is rediculous. They claimed it was an average number on the high side so I wouldn't do my budget under false impressions. They also said that since I'm a recent college graduate, the bank would understand and give me a lower rate to help start out. I'm 22, and this is my first job, and though I can technically afford that 10.9%, in reality I'd be broke! My credit score's in the low to mid 700's. Anyone have any tips for negotiating the rate? I'm buying under X-plan, so I can't really lower the principal on the loan, so the only way I can save money is on an interest rate.
