Move into out basement, Ryan. Rent would be crazy cheap. lulz. $200 a month + utilities. ;)
 
Pffsht... I've got $80 in my wallet with your name on it so I don't think you'll be leaving in such a hurry.
 
I've got a half a drum kit (I started playing when Phen was in China) and the basement is sound proofed from products from work. (shhhhh...) I want to buy another bigger bass amp but currently have no desire to be in a band and deal with egomaniacal musicians. It's so nice having weekends "off". heh-heh.

But yeah, basement theater would be epic. (2thumbs)

On topic bit; I went to Harbor Freight with Wes to buy an engine stand. Came back with more tools and a low profile jack. Forgot to buy the engine stand. Fuuuuuu.... haha. And I think the 3-toothed check out girl was hitting on me. Ack.
 
Let me know when you want a hand picking out gear, and getting it together. Home theaters are fun!


Are you going to be selling that engine stand in the future, or keeping it?
 
Lemme know if you need to borrow an engine stand for a while. I don't think ours is claimed at my house... Or go buy your own... You swap engines like I swap my underwear...every couple of months!
 
Ryan, I am so old school when it comes to TV's and such. My tv in my room is super old. But I'll hit you up when the time comes, fo sho! As far as the engine stand, I will keep it. It will always have a KLZE on it as a spare. I plan on keeping my P6 and Milly for a very, very long time. ;)

Chippy, LOL! How does Justine deal with that? Haha

Lmao, I thought about that on the way home. I figured I just heard you wrong. We could have tied that check out girl to the engine hoist in the back of the Yota and tag teamed her. That's 1.5 teeth for each of us.. I think she was hitting on me, too.
 
^^^ Ummm, not really. You typically have a spare car, the rest of us don't. Honestly, it comes down to work ethics and procedures. I research everything before I even pick up a wrench. We make good roommates, but I think my half of the garage is a bit more organized and I work much slower, very particular of how the parts fit and don't get mad, curse and kick things if they don't. That's just real talk, Phen. We're pretty much polar opposites when it comes to wrenching. I'm not saying I'm better than you or anything, but I have my way of wrenching and you have yours.

Anyway, the point of me asking about the time frame for your swap, MP5Mat, was because I would be glad to swap your P5 for you. But I would want to do it in my own garage when Lewis Motorsports is back up and that won't be until this time next year... We just don't have the space and room for another car right now, mate. That's not an excuse from me, it's just the truth. 3 car guys in one house with too many cars means not much room. But if you can hold out until next year, bring it over to Lewis Motorsports and I'll certainly take care of it for you. (2thumbs)

Haha fair enough. I could understand that for sure. Ok I have nothing but time. So next year is GREAT for me. Im pretty pumped for this thanks! Next year time frame gives me time to get her painted. Nothing like sun baked yellow. As far a price what generally does it costs to do these swaps? I looked on CL in the area area and saw tons of cars with klde's for under 1500. Would that be the way to go as all parts are there or order a crate motor?
 
Geez....haven't checked th thread out in a few days and now you are doing more engine swaps, buying tools that aren't on the list and hooking up with toothless chicks. lol Well, good luck over the winter with getting everything done on both the P5 and the Milly. If I was closer I'd be up for coming over to learn some as I know you wouldn't let me touch anything....which is a smart move on your part. hahaha
