    Thanks! My best friend lives in Austin, and south by southwest is next week. We're also going to look for a place to live when his current lease is up in July.

        It's kind of up in the air right now. I'd really like to go to university of Texas, so we will see.

            So I just got back from Texas the other day. Needless to say the weather here still blows lol. While I was gone, my dad brought my strut bar to a customer of his to have it chemically stripped down to a raw finish like it was suppose to be. I thought that was a cool surprise. Should be getting it back this week! Other news is that I got my inner ball joints too, hopefully getting everything pressed in and out this week. Still need to call Andy to have him swing by and time my motor. But it's good to be back, and I'm excited to get going on this car again!

                      very nice progress.  one thing that bothers me is that bracket placement for the hydro rear brakes will be very unfortunate to your knee/leg if you were to wreck. it would be terribly ironic if your samurai themed hydro setup actually sliced your leg open...

                        I found the part, nevermind :)   Its just a little beat up.

                        I definitely see what you're saying.  Keep in mind the blade of the samurai sword is completely removed, but still.  I could always put some foam on the brackets too.  It wouldn't look as clean but it'd save my knees in the case of me hitting a wall.  I will probably do that before bringing it to the track again.

                        In other news, I contacted the bmw tech, and my motor should be timed sometime this week :)

                        I also finished up the lines for the new hydro tonight.  I cant wait to test this thing out!

                              And Brian I'm going to be driving this thing everywhere once it's done! I have a new goal in mind for when I want it done so we will see.

                                  Not saying anything yet!  I have a date in mind that I want it to be done by.  Id rather not say because I dont want to say it will be done at said date, then blow it and mess something up and have to wait more.

                                      I was actually planning on bringing the e46 to that, just to be comfy, have a/c, music, leather, not racecar, ect.  Lol.  But if you're willing to bring the e28, Im willing to bring the e30 ;)

                                        Well, I was told if I show up, I gotta bring the E28, otherwise I'll get roofied. So either way works for me. I don't mind being roofied, I guess
