Hey any of you guys with a sunlight silver series 1 want a trunk with the stock spoiler? I'm interested in one without the spoiler if anyone wants to do a swap!

Yep, $25/hour for a lift is a good price. That's how much I used to pay when I worked on my truck in the shop on base(USMC/NAVY). I heard about that mentioned here a year or two ago as an idea then. Actually, I think that guy was the one who opened a conversation in one of the SoCal lounge about this idea. And when I came across this in Craigslist, I was like: "hmmm, he got the green-light to spearhead this DIY Garage."

I want to check it out and see if I can work on my A/C(leak, replace my compresor), but it's a heck of a drive from where I live. And in the temps these following days, it would be nice if their bay/garage is well ventilated

Dude, the base here doesn't charge half that! Use a bay / and or lift for $18 dollars for the entire day!. and thats after all the price increases!

On another note, who knows anything about Lucky 7 Racing?! I need to tune my 8 but i'm very skeptical about taking it anywhere and I know MM tunes are dope but I don't feel comfy doing it over Google chat so i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them at all?

I did search some and a few people said that they were good but a few isn't quite enough. i need more than just a couple to make me feel better about a place.

I've tried and only come up with a few things. I'm almost debating driving out to MM in AZ.

AZ trip may not be necessary. I'd talk to Jedi54 about Neptune in Orange County first.

It was a while ago when I did at the Stumps, but yes, it was cheaper. I dealt with Lucky 7 and they changed my engine with a reman' less than what the dealer would charge and did it pretty swift. I did inquire about tuning and they do, however, mostly with the REW not the MSP engine. Try giving them a call and juat as what UrbanOcho have metioned, Neptune in Huntington Beach. Quite a drive, may be when you head to Pendleton for TAD or something.

I'll give em both a call. But I don't mind driving down that way just for the simple fact of GETTING OUT OF THIS GOD FORSAKEN DESERT!!!

Thanks for the info though. I'll do some research on neptune...hopefully they can tune a boosted 8....through the AP...

Even the CobbAP based in SoCal doesn't tune turbo 8s
