Can't answer for anyone else but it's been a busy couple of days here at work, not much time for TMSing.

heading out to Irwindale later today to check out racing and pick up my SCT from ST Motorsports. Anyone else want to meet up, just give me a yell.

Same here I've been busy all weeking prepping for an interview I had today.

Good news I nailed and I start in two weeks. I'll give you Socal guys more details this weekend. What a great way to start the weekend.

New job, 3 day weekend, Laker game tonight, 6 pack of hoegarden waiting in the fridge. Life is good.

I have no idea. I'm just glad he didn't quit or something.

Danny is supposed to call him and see when he's due back.

That's awesome George. Congrats.

Just finished the first of my projects in the near future. Put on the GT front with the CDC chin and a Bullitt grille. Here's the before and afters...





I still need to install the lower grille, but it's essentially done.

Congrats George That's really cool.

Congrats Leo more mod money

Kyle - Looks great I kinda like it without the lower grille New set-up sure gives the car a mean look

Ranting here: Fedex = Spoiler was supposed to come in today. I go online, check the status of the spoiler only to see that "an attempt was made." I was here at the time stated. There was no way I could miss it and to top it off, no door tag. I call it BS.

I'll have to go out of my way tomorrow to pick it up. I've never had a problem with Ups They just usually leave it at the door. Which I prefer

Okay. Done ranting

On a lighter note... I plan to order the following mods this month:

LCA's (going with the billet LCA's from Steeda)
Motor mounts (what's a good choice here? Prothane? Steeda?)
Swaybars (I know they're needed... Leo but should I bother getting beefier ones? Maybe just the rear? Or are both a good idea? Leo's opinion need not apply here )

Thanks guys.

I actually like it without the lower grille too, but it does look incomplete if you see it up close. If there weren't brackets and holes there, I would probably have left it be.

I've had the same problems with shipping companies before too. It's even worse living in an apartment complex and they don't know what the hell to do. I'm sick of dealing with all the shipping companies. Good luck.

I'm going to be putting on LCAs and the anti-squat brackets soon as well. I got both for $95 shipped.

I'll be putting in sways too. Going with a GT front bar with Steeda endlinks and a Hellwig adjustable rear.

In other news, Brandon Ford decided to detail my car after painting the roof and pretty much ruined all of the polishing I had done to it a few months ago. All kinds of swirls all over and monster buffer trails on the roof where they painted. What a mess, I hate dealerships.

Sorry to hear of the bonehead FedEx guys, I'd be PO'd too.

Billet Steeda.. very nice! But then again, I'm a little partial to them.

Motor mounts.. Prothanes

Sways.. most aftermarket ones are the same size as stock, make sure to measure before ordering.

For the drag guys..

This is the World's Fastest Electric Dragster. You really don't hear anything except the huge tires skipping over the asphalt.

Watch the 'Christmas Tree' lights go to green and the dragster leap into action. It might be electric but it wastes no time hurtling through the 1/4 mile for a stupidly-fast time of 7.63 seconds.

Sounds funny imo.. it's missing that V8 sound.

You didn't lie. Made zero noise

So about the sways - is it worth it to get front and back? Or just rear? I'm looking at either the bmr or steeda pieces. What's the stock measurements for the front? Thanks for the heads up Bill I'm kinda leaning toward just getting the rear now, but I still want to run my choice through you guys

Jed - I know. Whipple's on hold

I just got raped!

At the gas pump. Man Cali gas for regular is $4.35 on average out here. Kids I don't think things are going to improve anytime soon. So I am considering (again!) This baby... Don't worry the Roush isn't going anywhere except 120 mph on the on ramps I'll be like Dr Jeckle & Mr Hyde.

I'm going to see what my Highlander gets as a trade in. That's going to influence my decision big time. I'm tired paying $60.00 - $75.00 a fill up. Plus I drive alot average 45-50 miles a day.

Getting a black Prius to match?

Expect to get raped in the worst way when trading in your Highlander. Pam only got $4k for her 2000 4Runner with less than 100k miles.

With that said, I think we just found our new ride to Vegas!
