I like how there is gas everywhere, but nothing says pimpin' like a fedora and a white jump suit! keep your pimp hand strong gas man.

Crazy what people used to do in racing. The intro the Watkins Glen episode of the show about Grand Am (that I can't remember the name of) was really interesting. The old footage of cars blasting through town and getting air over the railroad tracks and going under overpasses in roadsters without even seatbelts was crazy.

Oh, and my Chevelle will someday be a Time Trial car because that just looks like so much fun....
 
So Victoria is running fine today lol. She was fine on the way home from work last night too. I reset the ecu today just to be safe
 
Holy crap, that picture is frightening, Lauri. Look at all that fuel being sprayed everywhere!? Ka-blewy just waiting to happen...

Glad she's back to normal, Evan.

Hey Lauri, all us guys named our cars and they are all named after girls. Did you name your car?
 
It's bad luck not to name your car. It's the same theory boats/boaters have. Come on, everyone knows this. :D
 
If i name my car and have problems i'm blaming you.
 
Deal. You know where to bring it too, Lewis Motorsports. Our labour rates are amazingly inexpensive.
 
Well, Spicy will be headed down the road tomorrow to get measured for a custom FMIC, nstall a AEM Wideband and the Split Second A/F ayatollah air controllah.......then she is going to get repainted, bye bye rust and bubbling paint! andd then the serious works begins. Suspension, suspension, suspension........corner balanced spring testing to find the perfect fit for Mid-Ohio and nationals. We should have a pretty good Mazda turnout in Time trials

TTE: Jonathan Davis, he got a Spec Miata, Mark Freemal with his Miata, Rob Piekarczyk and hs MP3 TTD: Bill Brees (SM76) he is the record holder at Mid-Ohio and a former TTE National Champ, Mark Domo in the RX-8, Me & Spicy, looks like we'll have a lot of local flavor. Maybe Jr. Jaco and the not so slow P5 can move of the ladder quickly and joins us.....Not impossible as you did look pretty good out there. Better yet, smack Phen around and track the MSM..
 
We have settled on Martha for our 3. I prefer "old lady" names for my cars. The chick magnet (Dodge Caravan) is Gracie, my Stratus which I sold was Stella. The list goes on... sorry tearing up a bit over Stella, I miss her.
 
well Whitney just got back home from a day at LMS (haha)

clutch and flywheel and trans mount are all in
and i painted the OZ's silver (had to do something about the chipped to hell black paint haha)

and i think the guys can agree, she pulls pretty damned well :D
 
Finally, the pics from the swaparo.

Before things go too unrecognizable. The President of LMS himself, wrenching on a customer car

Trans is out!

Ol busted junk still bolted to the motor. All of the stuff dangling really throws the autofocus for a loop, plus low lighting..

Trans, tied to the jack. The strut was a real bear to get off the brake bracket/hub metal thinger
