Have fun this weekend at the dells.

If nobody has big plans for the holiday next weekend I'll be doing a ATX to MTX swap on the Stealth so I can get it rolling again.

maddog, i pm'd you earlier today about some work i need done on my vr-4.

let me know what you think!

I've been looking at trailers and I've found a 30ft trailer that I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy. So this opens a couple possibilities.

1: a 3S is 15ft long, we may be able to fit 2 cars on it with a little overhang, but should probably test fit before the day we leave if we are going to try this.

2: There is going to be a swap meet, so we could section part of the trailer off if anyone had any big things they want to bring with them. I know I've got an engine and trans laying around myself.

Also, Dave, is your car lowered at all?

how much is that second spot worth to you? you can just put the engine and trans in the back of my car. i REALLY don't want to borrow a truck and trailer from my co-worker for a 5 days.

PLEASE

Nope, stock height for now. I was going to pick up a set of coilovers but that can wait.

Its more of a will they both fit issue than anything else, I could care less if the engine and trans get left behind.

I'm just trying to plan out how we get the car(s) on the trailer, so go ahead with the coil overs if you want.

This is also preliminary. I need to get approved for the financing, and weigh my truck before I make a final decision since I'm limited to 20,000lbs.
