    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Yes, but farting in an enclosed garage might not make you any friends.

    I'll be there in a couple of hours! I have my battery hold-down, my test pipe, and some metal stock to fab an intake brace. Hope somebody knows what they're doing, I heard a little too much "NMC" last time

    Well that went well! Sorry I didn't stick around for the after party, guys. I headed for the hobby shop and then as I pulled into the parking lot I remembered that they're closed on Sunday

    And for once my battery didn't ricochet around in the trunk on the way home!

    Thanks for the help and it looks like my car is ready to roll now

    Sorry I missed it. I actually drove by about 2:30 and everyone was gone. Oh well. How did the intake bracket turn out?

    I fabricated a sweet JDM/SGM/TCB bracket. I think jrj512 took a pic of it.

    Here are some pics of the intake bracket. That's some real nice old world craftsmanship by Sammm, although I have to take credit for trimming it to size and drilling the holes.

    You really need a big set of pink bunny ears. That should get you at least a second or 2 on your track time.
