I'm psyched to get the little things taken care of for "Frackmobile part deux" & the Cosworth install project to begin. Bruthaman, do you know where the Stahl header's for sale? I'm thinking that might be the unit I decide to run.

I'll be in Joshua Tree, but thanks for the offer. I'm in the north Bay Area every couple of weeks anyway so it would have worked most other weeks.

I was sleeping a lot last week when I was sick, and instead of waking a 5:00 am like normal, I am waking at 2:30 am. I assume my internal clock will return to normal in the next couple of days.

What do you think of adapting this bad boy to our straight-exhaust project: http://www.eisenhaus.com/ehprice.php...42&Submit.y=11.

Well, cost-wise it's not that much different from buying a Borla race cat-back. Given the complaint that the straight-through exhaust is obnoxiously loud & could require several "do overs" it's probably safer to go this route. I'm thinking the Stahl header & this exahust. I'm sure it'd sound wicked.

Try it. I want someone else to try it first. I see you aren't crazy (or deaf) enough to go for the race version.

Dr.Steve:
I don't think I'll be able to make it over your direction today. Well, I might be able to but I don't want to keep you waiting. Let's get together next week to do the intake swap so I can get smogged. Have fun with your brother in Joshua Tree!

Lazy bum! Put off today what you can let slide to next week. It will only take about 30 minutes and I'll be here until 5:30 or 6:00 depending on when JIMINNI gets here.

It's good that you controlled it and are OK. It's nice that it was in the company van and not your MINI so all you lost was time. Have a good holiday.

Thanks....
I felt it going soft, so I was only going 15-20mph when it finally went. Valve stem was the culprit. But tore up the sidewall away.
Have a safe drive....wet down there? Pretty steady up here since 5am.

True, true. Glad to hear you're a-ok. Dr.Steve, I had no problems this morning with my smog. All I need is the paperwork from Arizona & I'll be a done deal. "The Frackmobile part deux" liveth!

Yep! I wrote my rebuttal letter to the insurance company last night & faxed it to them first thing this morning. Hopefully we'll be wrapped up soon, so we can move on with everything.
