Tommorow is the big day, I think drive will be more like 3 1/2 hrs.
Thats how long it took on my last trip down, this past july, just before
I went to Taipei.

Wow, what a long day. Long trip as well. Thanks again Jeff and Jeff at AFP and thanks to Chung O' at Blue Oval Performance. With the gears, the car comes out of the hole hard, and with the tune, the car pulls great up top. The service was more than top notch, and thanks again Jeff for topping off my tank. You know, you really didn't have to, but it was very much appreciated. You have earned my business again.

Man, today took a chunk out of my pocket book

you guys should try some relatively hard install yourselves one of these days, i do all my own work and the satisfaction i get from it can't be beat, it's almost as good as actually driving the car

Hey guy's I just rolled in the door, What a trip, Traffic wasn't to bad untill I got to
the express me lanes, then kind of slow up through Lynwood!
A big thanks to Jeff and Jeff at AFP, thanks alot guy's the car is alot more responsive, and is actually fun,
now it will light em up in 3rd without much effort,
I better watch it or I'll get myself in trouble.
Jeff you went beyond the call of duty with the gas, thank you, You will be getting plenty of referals from me, and Chung I'll be seeing you in the near future about that fuel pump, and maybe a few other goodies.
Thanks again guy's


Oh, Cory

His butt is already rusted buddy!!! Too late for paint!

Cleaned the car up from the trip down to Vancouver on Friday, Man that is the dirtiest it's ever been, now I remember why I don't like to drive it the rain!
The weather was nice yesterday, so I had to go for a drive, and enjoy the sun!!
Boy those new gears really make a difference, way more responsive, and I thought it was squirrley before, gotta watch it now. It will take some getting used to, but I really like it.
If anybody is thinking about a gear change, do it, it's worth it!!!
Go see Jeff at AFP, it's worth the drive!!!
Thanks Jeff



See Ya Bill

Thanks again for making the trip down. I am glad you both like the gears. I put in a call for nice weather ahead of time but I guess he had more important matters to attend to. Can't win them all. Sorry, we should have dragged our feet a little so you could have been around for the Starbucks cruise. I'm sure we will see more of you this summer. If nothing else I will be up that way for a few races at Pacific and Bremerton and also for the Show at Belleview.

Sorry I missed you by 1 minute. That was me that waved to you in the green expedition, as you were leaving.. Glad you had a great time!! I guess I should feel lucky to live 10 min away ... ok maybe that was a bit too much.. HAHA... We had a great turn out at starbucks but I can totally understand wanting to get home. That one long drive home tired! We were out until 12pm that night.. but anyways glad you made the trip!!!

But, of course mine was for the IRS so it will just be naturally cheaper, I think Bills labor was 350. And he didn't need a rebuild.

Well, the SCT Xcal2 was about 410.00. That is with tax, without about 379.00. So, I guess I spend in excess of 1200 + dollars on the gear install

Well I'm sure you had a fun drive/road trip. Jeff and Chung do good work so you were in safe hands.
