LOL, well I COULD have it ready but now I want to add a few things as you know. :) Did you get what I sent yet? It will be there today for sure.

Figgie: Yes, I did order the Weldon. (2345A)

Add a few things huh? Yes I got the payment for the 2J engine you sent, so I should be able to ship that right out. :biglaugh:

Must be 1 big ass payment LOL. Must of had to start selling off body parts, although I don't think that would even pay for the stock long block. The exchange rate for Canuck body parts does not seem to be favorable around this time of year. :biglaugh:

Is this a smack talk thread or "rumours" thread, LOL ???.... Duane would need to re-do his tatoo if he went 2JZ :)

Speaking of "rumors". I heard I've gone through 6 or 7 engines. :rofl: That's what happens when people just assume or guess.

The 7M is still good as the rest. If you ran any engine this hard and ran lean, it would have done the same thing, period.

That sounds like a nice "farewell 7M" statement :biglaugh:

No, I am keeping my 7M as it isn't anything major wrong/broken. It's a simple gasket (and fix one small indentation) and back on the road but not for Vegas.

Last time I checked, you ran an 11.64 then a 14, 12, 13 etc...;) When a manual, mine was very conistant ;)

I would rather not drive your car as it may be contagious! :icon_razz

Hmmm, that was quite some time ago now (4 years). Last time I checked YOU were the only person capable of taking a 9 sec car barely into the 10's..:biglaugh:..Now take some good advice about designating one specific crew chief and hiring out the driving end..

:)

LOL Actually, it was 2 years for your car. ; Your age is showing! :biglaugh:

I never said I would be running 9's. Heck I only had 600 HP. :3d_frown: Don't put words in my mouth.

I don't need any help with anything, thanks.

Hmmm, it was the year of Kelowna. 2 yrs ago? I think you're confused. Time flies when your DAILY DRIVER hasn't been on the road and is being worked on DAILY for 3 years..lol..:icon_razz

I recall quite a few conversations and posts aswell, and I'm quite sure others do too about you running 9's with a 5spd let alone an auto..:biglaugh:.. Dude you have to slow down as your selective memory is waning at best.

Who is arguing about 10 second runs? Tony squeaked in the 9's last year. I thought it was obvious that we are speaking of 9's. None of the MKIII smack down guys are planning on running 10's.

The quote is correct but not the right time factor. ;) That was me speaking of THIS year, not a few years ago as insinuated by Vansupra.

Don, I guess I will have to dig up a time slip. You ran against me and it was not "4 years ago"., trust me.

The funny thing is that you say a 9 second car. You need to make up your mind. I ran an 11.00 and you said I had a "11 second car".(which I did of course), now you say I have a "9 second car'" but am running 10's. :icon_conf I didn't "barely" get in the 10's. A 10.2 last time I checked, is deep 10's. That was my first pass, just to clarify it for you. It seems that you always have something to add and it's never positive.

Jeff, I did say 9's but again, I was speaking of this year and I can't now. :cry: I guess I will be in the 9's next year and I will be happy with that.

Vegas people/racers:

I hope you do good this year in Vegas. Don't count on winning against Tony though. :biglaugh: Whining maybe, but winning.......:nono:

Next Year????? HAHAHAHA your killing me. I planned this whloe trip this year just to run down that little white supra of yours and put it where it belongs, AT THE END OF THE LINE, LMAO. I am deeply hurt by the unfortunate circumstances that have arose. So for clarification, we are down to 6 again right or is there sombody else backing out because they are scared, woops I mean because they have car trouble. :icon_bigg
