SilverPilate Up's His Ante

[Dark_5.0]

If I need to make the trip to Lubbock and lay the smack down let me know

Ehhh...you know, John's all talk. He hadn't beat anything at the track faster than that V-tech Spec SR99 KZPTR Honda XSR 71. Of course, that thing was flying pretty fast. And I mean "flying". His wing was adjusted wrong and he ended up flying into a nearby mountain. I was hollarin' for him to just open his Nitrous purge valve and that would provide enough down force to ground him, but he couldn't hear me through his fire-proof suit and above his 18 RockWood 10 Comp zx55 subs. What a fireball. John only won because after he broke on the launch, he got out and pushed his POS over the line. The Honda guy never tripped the light becuase he flew over them.

Nah, it's all good. But anytime you decide to, feel free to come up and we'll shoot the breeze and run 'em out by John's house. He's got a pretty nice new 40X60' barn with a 2-poster overhead lift and leveled floor. Really nice setup. Despite all the words, John and his dad, John, are good folk.

Take care.

Monday:9:00 am, office in p-view:

I'm calling in dead. My hands feel like i washed them with a cheese grater. My shoulders are creaking and poping, and i'll never get all the crap out of my eyes that crumbled off the belly of your car. My ears have antifreeze and wax in them. I ate some doritos before bed and licked the powdered cheese off. Yep, motor oil under the nails comes with that. *I'd have to call that a great day!*

You guys are gonna have to rally to me and help me get my white junk running.


All in all, i say we kicked ass in tha shop. Got Tj's car running good, got yours out and tore down, got that f-bod junk ready for some new shoes.

Its just badass when you've got guys with air tools and bustin loose on a job like that. I'm lookin forward to the reinstall.

Dark_5.0 come on down, we got wrenches that will fit in your hand, maby a mug too. Will that hot rod of yours make it down?

Yeah, John. It sure was fun watchin' you work! Haha... No, I was pretty beat today as well. Left work on time (almost) and shipped off the converter. Got the driveshaft and motor/tranny mounts in today, but still no word on the Coast shippment. I'll have to give him a call. Right now I've still got the block sitting in the trunk of the Infiniti. I'm about to order some wires, maybe one or two other things that meet my fancy.

Anyway, thanks a big one for your help and your work. It was even worth putting up with Pops! Hope my pile runs almost as good as TJ's as far as punch goes.

Anyway, I've gotta cut loose. Just watched Tech (#25) beat Kansas (#2) with four seconds left in the second over time!! WOW. That was one of the greatest TV basketball games I've ever seen! The end of the game, the first overtime, and the second overtime were all basically at-the-buzzer shots!

I'll probably head down on Tuesday after work to get crankin' on those brakes. Should be a hell of a fun job.

Later.

I was wonderin what you thought of tj's car. I guess you liked the wot performance?

[silver_pilate]

Well, it sure is a heck of a lot better than what I've got now. He's running more head than I will be, but I'm hoping that my GT will run about the same. Although, it probably won't have as many of John's parts and tool tumbling around in the back!

I dropped off the block and main caps at Total Engine today and talked with Casey and Tracy. They'll start cleaning it up and magnaflux it, and I'll take the rotating assembly by as soon as it arrives. I spoke with Coast today, and he's now saying it should ship for sure today or tomorrow. Guess they were out of stock on some parts. They are suppose to e-mail me a tracking number when it ships. Probably here the first or middle of next week.

John, what do you think about me coming by tonight and starting on those brakes or cleaning up some parts?

Later.
