Wow, I didn't understand how not getting old movies references that people would quote me is so annoying.... but now I do.

you guys suck.

anyway, shooting. i'm a bit too cheap for gun ranges, and i know how not to get myself killed. in lubbock theres a great big sand pit field thing on the outskirts of town where everybody goes to shoot stuff up. shoot some clays etc etc.

is there something like that around here? just a great big field to go shoot some stuff out in the boonies.

I guess any place outside of a city limit? I usually do my shooting outside of Flint.

Anyway, Not sure what you were expecting. It's Christmas. Everyone has plans or will have plans that tie them up for at least the next week.

I was thinking about maybe putting a meet together either the first or second weekend in January.

Yeah I had one guy with a four cylinder Mazda 6 tell me that he was pushing 400WHP with bolt ons naturally aspirated. I told him that it was impossible and asked him what he had done to it and he said it had a chip and the exhaust from a V-6. I am not shitting you, I just walked away from him. I experienced many similar situations when I had my turbocharged Civic back in the day.

I ended up going with the Mazdaspeed exhaust. Its a twin catback, not annoyingly loud when just driving around, and a good whine/pop at the higher revs.

Most of the people back in DC tended to have the HKS Exhaust on there, I found this one to be a little less obnoxious.


Oh, and in reply to the new engine thing, when I got the car back the guy at the dealer claimed it was new, instead of just a refurb; I pressed him if it was a new housing, old rotors, retooled, etc., trying to get specifics and he kept claiming the engine itself was a new one, and to expect a break-in period. Soooooo shrug? As long as this one doesn't explode, compress horribly wrong, or fall apart, I'll consider it a win.

Also, if there's a meet I've got time to kill, introductions to make, and "new" engines to show off.
