I did this upgrade and it is a nice improvement. Worse part was pulling the console.
Wow, what a coincidence - I was just talking about how good the Mk I aero kit cars look, and voila, GH996 with his guards red aero kit car pops up. Man, that thing is stunning.
Thank you!

Nothing at all - still waiting for the world's slowest wheel guy to refinish a couple of wheels.

I have a new noise I need to diagnose over the weekend - RPM-dependent; think it might be an idler. I'm headed to Harbor Freight anyway (the Easy-Flux 125 inverter mig welder is on sale for July 4), so I'll pick up a mechanic's stethoscope.

Has anyone tried Poor Boy's Black Hole Show Glaze? Thinking about giving it a go to see how much of my paint damage it can mask. :D

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

It's how the site works, not your photos. Fixed 'em for you. And posted a nag in the phpbb dev forum...maybe they'll fix it someday.

*edit* Looks like I may be able to fix this by just ignoring the inbound image headers - will try the code tweak this weekend.

Just a word of warning to all of the new guys: don't Google "Poor Boy's Black Hole Show Glaze."

Or any other things Schnelly puts in his posts that you don't understand.

Ask me how I know.

What did I do with the toy today? Drove it for about 30 minutes for no reason at all. Several shots down the nearby hi way just o hear that sweet sweet sound above 4,000rpm. Best recreational "drug" I have ever discovered! Still grinning like a fool...
