I'll have to remember that for future use!

I know this is a long shot, and a bit out of place but me and my wife just listed our townhouse for sale in Lake in the Hills. It is a 3 bedroom with a den, 2 car garage. It is less than 1 year and 3 months old. 1937sq feet. Asking price is 249,900. If you or anyone else knows anyone interested please let me know.

Right now Im changing the exhaust on my bike to exit under the seat instead of on the side. Ive also decided to pick up a powdercoating oven and supplies, so if anyone wants anything fabricated or powdercoated let me know and Ill see if I can do it.

How you doing man? It's been a while.

Should I not ask why you're not gonna have a license for 6 months ;-) Just wondering?

Browsing thru General, it seems that Ray Pampena is offering to travel to areas in the US to do tuning on 3SI members cars. I for one would love to let him tune my 900 car, so how many others here would be interested in having him come to Chicagoland sometime say this spring(?) to do a tuning session ?

Speak up.

I'd love to have my car professianlly tuned this late spring/summer, after I get a few more parts into it...hint, Travis. I actually put it away for the winter, since I got my Jeep back from the ex. I'd love for Travis to help me get it up and running since he's gotten his to run pretty well with the AEM. I would then love to get it to peak performance with a Dyno.

You got a link to some pics on the6 point cage...I wonder how that looks inside a vehicle, and how you get in and out.

Doing ok, I got a DUI.

Basicly I slept in my truck after leaving a bar. When I woke up I said ok, I think I can drive, pulled out onto a road, and about a mile down the road said no I shouldnt be driving. So I pulled off onto a side road to sleep until the morning. When I put the truck in park a cop pulls up behind me and turns his lights on. Says I was speeding when I went by him. Then he saw me pull over, why did I pull over.........I get arrested and get a DUI. Basicly I should have never left the parking lot, but oh well. Live and learn.

Before I put the car away, I drove it for a few weeks, and you're right. One of the Rotors was warped, even after I had it cut. It was wobbling. I took my old rotors to Pepboys to have them cut. They held on to them, and apparently they checked them a few days later, and they were below specs. Then they proceeded to trash them. Bastards. They said they called me and left 2 messages, but I only got 1. I dropped it off at Fox Valley, so I didn't get back there untill 1.5 weeks later, and they told me that they trashed them so they woudn't clutter their garage. So, I don't even have the opportunity to throw on the one old good rotor, to test which one of the one I bought off you is the one that causes the shimmy. I guess I"ll have to figure that out in the spring.

thanks for asking

Luke

P.S. How's school treating you?

I would be willing to help you out, but I have no way of getting to your house. I cant even drive to work for another 2 weeks so Im gettings rides to and from.

I never put the cage in a car so Im not sure how it would look. To get in and out you have to kinda hop over the bar that goes along door.
