thanks is bad....lets hope for the best
nice bruce, we did f1 today cold here but no snow, yippy!
So, we adopted a puppy last Friday...her name is Zoe (after the character in Firefly no less) and she's pretty awesome. She's an Australian Cattle Dog mix (we have pics of her mom) and she's 4 months old/26 lbs. Not looking to be a tiny dog 
This is Zoe when she was much younger in her original shelter in TN:
Here's Zoe chilling out in her crate:
Here she is in the passenger seat of my car...already a fan of the road trips:

Happy Monday!
Keep a look out Josh, they should be hitting the shelves in your area soon...I would think.
Have fun with the new puppy Ash! And Mahk, no need for a kid yet, I'm sure the puppy will keep them both on their toes! haha
Tony, that sux man! The G35 coupes are very nice but would hate to see you give up on the MSP after all the work you've put into it. Then again, it just might not be worth putting any more into.
Mike, don't think I ever had a chance to meet you at any of the meets I've been too but Congrats on the new job and raise. I live in Easton, about 30 miles south of the Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg areas. And I read your link over to rx8club...great read and very informative!

Heya guys, I know I'm rarely around the forum, well that probably won't really change, but I have a new job in NYC, and will be relocating to the Pocono Mountains, just inside PA along the PA/NJ line. Exact location still pending, but will be either right off I-80 or right off I-78 (and I'd be using whichever one that was for most of the commute into NYC). Don't call me too crazy though, since I only have to be in the office 2-3 days a week. Rest of it is work from home. Which days I have to be in the office, and even what hours of those days, is entirely flexible, so it will be exceedingly rare that I will have to do the commute in rush hour traffic. Most of the guys in the office work ~10-11am to 7-8pm.
What is more, I was hired partially for my data analytics and application development knowledge, partially for my knowledge and passion about cars. The company's primary product is car related, and I'm apparently the 2nd person (out of 15 now) that actually has a car. (lol) So I'm part application development, part automotive consultant (from a mechancial/electrical side). I can't go farther than that due to a Non-Disclosure Agreement, though that appears to be getting lifted in April when the product gets released publicly.
Oh, and a 70% pay raise was nice.
So, we will be moving within a few months, and our target requirements for a house will have room for guests and stuff, so we will be a free resource for people to lean on if they need a place to stay, either for the area or just passing through on a road trip.
And I've decided that yes, I'm going to put another engine in the 99 Miata, but I'm only going to be dailying it only as long as it takes for me to either find the exact NC Miata I want (6sp MT, white or blue, 2009+, PRHT, Touring or Grand Touring) or that special edition pictured above becomes orderable in white(I think white/red is the combo coming to the US and Japan. UK is Green.)
I need something better on gas than the 8, but the 99 Miata is too harsh for several hundred highway miles every week. The slightly larger NC solves the comfort issues, the PRHT gives me the top down as needed but kills much more of the noise strain when up. I never liked the 2006-2008 NC front bumper, but they fixed that for 2009+. I was eyeballing the BRZ, but the weight just kept climbing, and now that it's as heavy as a sport trim RX-8, I've dropped it from the list.
Sooo that's my update.
Good deal Mike, lookig forward to seeing you at a few more corrals this year.

bruce, of course you were never this age before either! you do it skiing or what? feel better dude!
you do it skiing or what? feel better dude!Yeah , can't get away from sport mode yet so this is a good compromise with good power and reliability deal.
wow, after all you hard work and $$...did you fine out if the head gasket was blown? that g35 is very nice!

I'll be checking for leak down this week to confirm that head gasket isn't bad, its 50/50 at this point with the radiator situation, was thinking to build it and all but the time it will take its going to be pain in the a$$ and don't wanna screw with time at this point.
Yeah, i've put some serious time into it and still have more parts waiting to be installed then what is installed yet but when you don't have a place to work at (garage) its not functional to do major work on the driveway/street.
The down fall of pursuing it further is the transmission, there's no solution for safe 300 whp + , so building the engine would make it unreliable at that power level.
I can always downgrade it and salvage what I can but I will have to find/buy the G35 coupe before I sell/downgrade MSP .
BTW, this is what radiator end tanks look like:
The tend to get more bubbly as the car gets to its operating temps.

Was bothering me a bit before skiing Sunday, which I'm sure didn't help.
