Sorry just caught this thread ive been in the tech and mod forum and i think its best to stay out of there. If you think you may want that exhaust an i can help you in any way let me know.( i really do mean that) I do like it but its kinda loud inside, from what i heard at the dragon i like the way mine sounds but hate the way it tones in the car. I have had it off and on about 4 times now, i just put it back on for the dragon and its still on so maybe its growning on me. I think the other muff that everybody was talking about or had is a good fit for most people , but i do really like the sound of the one i have out side of the car, so i will try and leave it on this time and see if it grows on me
Thanks
Mike and Kathy

You hung with Jim and I through the dragon. Shame we couldn't jump over those cruiser bikes in front of us, or we'd have had a really sweet video that couldn't be turned over to law enforcement.
Those bikes made a lot of noise and went so slow! I couldn't believe it took so long for them to pull off to the side!

That works but unfortunately I will still be the only wrong wheel drive there.

The crash as you described it sounds really scary and I can't imagine what must have been running through your mind during all this.
This might be the last pic of Eric and his Crossfire together but as long as we still have you guys we can all take a breath.
Wishing you both a full recovery and I am very saddened to hear of all this.
My thoughts are with you guys and please keep us all posted in the days to come

Hehe, shows how well you know me Just know that the car will be fully gutted with B&G coilovers, rear tower bar, 30mm TTR rear sway bar, custom midbrace, 22mm ST front sway bar, solid bushings, solid engine mounts, MRZ underdrive pulleys and I might have a little spray for some straights Well that is what I hope to have done within 6 months.

P.S. In my book it cool of you to join us on the Fall Dragon.

Wow, I like that shop. Is that yours, or do you just work there? I want to get a set of lifts like that, but I don't want them bolted to the floor, any ideas? I may stop by just to see that place

Scott, it was great meeting you as well. I don't know about the fall run, but I'm thinking spring for sure!

Glad you like it, we have five of them (partners with a buddy of mine) all of them dont look as good , I do the real technical poop in those two bays stuff that most tech wont mess with, I dont know of any lifts other than a mobile drive on, that doesnt raise the car very high...It maybe raises it waist high. But im sure if ya looked hard enough you could find pretty much anything, i just dont know of any. Why dont you want to bolt them down, its really no big deal. it all depends on what your lift weights need are, heavy lift ( full size trucks)you would want a 10000 pound concrete and just reg cars i think you could get away with 4000 pound which is used im most home garages
Hope that answered the question that you wanted to know
Thanks
Mike and Kathy

Thanks Mike, but you talked me into keeping it stock. we love the quietness inside while cruising, but we certainly like the sound you had going there WOT. We hope you can get it where your satisfied . Ours is ok, but nothing compared to yours. You've got a great looking ride there. I think we are going to try to improve on our looks a little at a time instead. The black SRT Roadster really impressed me as well as Franks chrome on his Grey Roadster.
Eric having a bad accident was bad and I was hoping everyone could get home accident and ticket free. I glad to hear they are getting better.
It took me 2 months to figure out what tires to buy, I decided on the Coopers ZEON because of the wet traction capabilities. I am happy with that decision as well as how it handled on the hill behind you.
Have a Happy Easter!
Diane & Ben

I just built a garage, use it as a shop (auto and non-auto) as well, pull, the 2 cars out, and I have all kins of room. I would want something, I could use for storage, move to the middle for work, and remove completely for non-auto work.I could have multiple bolt holes in the floor, and that is an option if I don't find a portable that only goes waist high. I will take some pics of the shop/garage as soon as it is closer to completeion. Tge stucture is done, but outfiting the interior is still work-in-progress.
