Just your normal numbers/class for right now. I'll be posting a page with color and font options and then you can choose if you want one with a border, solid one color, different color for class/number etc. If it's something I don't have listed, you can pass it by me and I'll see if I can do it or not.

We can shoot for the 21st.
Also, if you want, we can try out the compression tester to see how well your premixing is doing
Of course you know my take on that... if you waited too long to start, the damage could already be done.
But you never know...

I might be up for a case - I've never used it but at 106k miles it couldn't hurt!

I know I'm going to get a full case for myself. . . should last well over a year.

Would be interesting to see compression numbers before you start and then take one after you've been running for a couple months.
If the numbers change dramatically... then you know that the seals and/or housing is worn.

Here is what the painted shrouds look like i didn't click it fully in because as you can see I need to clean those dirty exhaust tips. They are pretty close to the original plastic.

works great on old faded yellowing headlights too!


Okay, for the people interested in the case of pre-mix. It's going to be around $75 bucks/case give or take a bit with shipping.

Let me know if still interested.

John- I just looked over at my Axxess paperweight and remembered that you were going to talk to your friend at the dealership about possible firmware updates to the radio HU.
Any luck with that?

Jon - Never was able to talk to Sandy. I'll try again today. It was like I was talking French to them though so I wouldn't hold my breath.

No powder at all. They had a rainstorm on the mountain 2 weeks ago, and it didn't snow AT ALL. Fresh ground ice.

Was at Stowe. Really loved the atmosphere. Just dumb luck with the weather. Alll this snow completely missed that area

Welcome to New England skiing. I grew up skiing on packed ice and it wasn't until going out west years later that I realized that wasn't normal.

Guess that's why they say that if you can ski New England you can ski anywhere.
