Manike get's recognition in Whiteboard today

[PBX Ronin 23]

Dayspring, close... but not quite...

GTRSI, yeah they are just working out if they can lower the car or not and how much, and if it's worth it. Rims turn up next week... so we will know then. Don't want to be scraping those turbos!

Muze, I'm having fun, that's what. I don't want to do anything illegal with the window tint. I suspect I may attract enough attention as it is.



??? They are? Who?

Yeah I'm also looking for suggestions on where to live up in NJ/Philly area. Somewhere nice around town I think...

I think GP and JC are on their way to DAllas.

Simon, why not just move to Newport News, Virginia? Lots of great jobs for Machinists and CAD/CAM guys and gals down at Northrop Grumman

For looks or performance? Although John L. is much smarter than I, I would be hesistant to do any drop on a vette. One of the best performing cars on the planet, however, with the TT setup you just added about 100-175lbs under the hood. What trim turbo's did you go with?

Looks. They are hesitant to drop it any, and if they do, then no more than 0.75-1", but I don't like huge gaps in the wheel arches.

I have 18" front and 19" rear wheels coming, so we'll see after they are in place.

True, but it also adds a minimum of 250RWHP! I'll be around 550RWHP... and if I add boost control... (maybe later )

The Turbos are not an off the shelf componnent, they are a Hybrid but they start as a
Garrett GT 28 series and are modified from there.

The rear is being tubbed and I'll be running 345 tyres...

I'm looking for 'show' and 'go'. Hopefully it won't be much longer before I get it back.

Simon, why on earth would you move from TX to NJ??!?!

Simon.... too much money man, too much money...

I hate you.

[manike]

Work.

CM, Yeah I really should have invested the money from the sale of my house in the UK for my old age...

[wobbles82]

Mantua= National Paintball Headquarters, why dont ya just buy a mansion or something around there? Or live in the back seat of Ginos hummer for awhile.

I think the real reality is that you wanna move to Jersey to play at Del Hobbies, isnt it? Thought so.

[Mango]

Simon, when do you think you'll be moving here? Just curious.

Simon, when do you think you'll be moving here? Just curious.

By the sounds of it very bloody soon!

I'm probably going to be flying up on Sunday/Monday to start looking for an apartment and to sort a few things out. On Wednesday I fly back to the UK to see my family, back the next Sunday and then start getting all my stuff finished in Texas to move up to NJ full time.

I.E. I'll be up there from Monday and on and off until there permanently. I stil have some unfinished business here but I'll be flying back as required to sort it out.

Looks like I'm about to shift my whole life again

Want to help me find a cool place in Old Town Philly? An apartment somewhere near the party zone... hopefully with a private garage and two bedrooms if possible...

Think like my place in Dallas but in NJ/Philly...

[Mango]

Simon, lets just say I'm a "party town" philly expert. I know of some excellent areas you might want to look, one complex was recently completed. There are many very nice condo's and brownstones right near South St. and next to I-95 which takes you right into NJ, getting to NPS is very easy.

If you are going to have any free time during your visit give me a call or e-mail me. I can show you the area. =)

Awesome! Consider yourself hired! If you can get any web links for me that would be useful. I don't seem to have your cell phone number anymore. Do you have mine? if not e-mail me at manike (at) gmail.com and we can swap numbers.

Freetime? I rarely have freetime on trips like this, but I do have time 'to find myself an apartment' so I guess that counts! Probably Tuesday or Wednesday morning.
