I am disconnecting the NOS for now to see if you battery stays charged. It's not like you use it. Besides, you have lots of new LEDs flashing to look at. The gauge faces are in, but the covers are off until I align the needles. I need to know which buttons on the steering wheel do what for the radio so I can program the SWI-X. Or you can do it. Our new purple shop chairs are very comfortable, thanks.

The track up-&-down buttons are on the left-hand side of the steering wheel & volume control on the right-hand side. The center button you can make the "switch" between CD-DVD-iPod. Can you put the NO2 on a on/off power switch so I can have it on stand-by? Y'all have given me such a hard time that I'm determined to use it now.

Note: We need to make a template of the back area for the new sub + NO2 bottle mounting surface. Can you give me rough measurements of the two sections we're covering in CF sheeting? If 33"x44" will work, I'll place the order tomorrow.

Here, here!! I think we all have terminal Mad Modders disease. If I/we didn't have Dr.Steve & Sir Bradley I'd have to dream about what my car would look like.

Yep, that'll work! We'll each have 3 "Brads". Bill's on Jim. In other CMS news, what's Checkers getting done? I think he needs NO2.

Once Edge gets the oil leaks taken car of I will be rewiring the gauges (they stop working when you move the steering column and adding a few small items. It's here now to check on the leak situation which I have confirmed to still be a problem. Now back to Edge when Randy can pick it up. Until then, it will take Fracky's place on the pedestal.

First it's going back to Edge then back to CMS then down to RMW for another tune,then who no's. I seem to spend more time lately driving back and forth to repair shops than I do on runs. O'well there is always next month.

Don't feel too bad. Brad & Dr.Steve have seen more of my car in the last year & a half than I have in the last three years combined.

What, was Fracky reincarnated? Maybe you should buy a vehicle for each cat so you can name all your vehicles after your cats.

I'm having a wonderful time fixing stripped out threads on your car, too. Now I know why those screws were missing.

That is a totally **awesome** idea & when I win the lotto I will have a fleet of small cars with license plate(s): Fracky, Fracky2, Fracky3, etc. etc. Jill will totally love that!!
