I'll just trade him springs since mine are completely settled and I have to dodge bugs on the road so I don't hit them. Jim just needs to drive his MINI a little farther than to work and back (and to The Shop). Some nice twisties would help, also.

Oh, oh, oh!!! Whatever dude. Last time I checked, 213 - 201= 12whp= 3 carlengths. I know you like draftin' off the tunnel diffuser anyways.

212-202=10 And you are still jealous that I am the first to post over 200 whp. Kinda like when Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier, nobody knows who went faster than him after that And don't worry it will be mine once again....muahahahahahah........

The only thing about facebook is when you get that friend request from the person you really don't want to reestablish a link with Is pushing the ignore button really that bad

Somehow I dont think pressing the ignore button when your wife is requesting to be your friend is a good idea.

Went to Bootcamp at 8 am, then had to teach Martial Arts at 9 am--WOW, what a start to the weekend! Reminder if anyone wants to try out 7:30 pm aerobics at my Dojang on Monday, 9/21 it is no charge. Have discussed a similar cost with the owner at $3 per person after that. This will help fill up the week for those who are going to try out Jen Alcorn's classes, as she does not usually have Monday night classes. PLUS, the classes are inside on padded mats v. outside. Hope to see y'all (that means YOU Steve)

Nope, had a million things to do today & probably won't get over there for another two weeks. In funnier news, I'm getting ready to go to a dinner party here in a couple minutes. My costume is captain of the Gryffindor quidditch team.

I will see you at the shop after my VA appts in AM on Monday. What kind of gauge packages do you have for Harley and Mollie? 05 and 08. Let me know. Gauges are better than idiot lights and almost as good as S** . See you on Monday!!

The new gauges look and work great. Marshalls under the direction of Dr Steve knocked this one out of the park with the clean look and function Eddie you will be impressed as well as anyone else installing them

Hey John, did you ever find a wire to connect the gauge lights to the brightness control? I know it doesn't matter most of the time but it would be more professional.

Here is an option for the R56 The red wire on cigarette lighter wire is switched power, and brown wire is ground. The Grey w/red stripe wire on DSC module is the illumination wire.

I used the power and ground you established and then changed the lighting to the DSC illumination.

Steve,

Any idea what kind of life I'll get out of using a helicoil to fix the threads in the spark plug tube?
