Thanks for aLl the kind welcomes! I'm logging in from work, so this is a good sign. Heh heh, I'll help out with all your projects, and then you guys can help me replace the 4th gear synchro on the turbo...it's grinding on upshifts. Oh, and the front bumper shock replacement and Iceshark headlight upgrade, too, but I might be able to knock those out on my own. And the odo isn't turning in either car....sigh...too many projects, not enough garage.

Well at least the balance is returned. I left Houston (OK, Beaumont) for Tampa, and you relocate to Houston. Good luck in Texas! The Greaseslingers RULE!

I am definitely go for Saturday night whether anybody else shows up or not. Dang, they could really use something like this in O-town...but no, all they have are tourist traps whose idea of a kart is a weed wacker engine strapped to 4 tin cans by way of a chassis that was welded at some local vocational school. Some of the tracks were kinda neat in design, what with the elevated figure 8's and all, but no traction on a wooden track takes ALL the fun out of it.

Great news: the TurboS is in town! The local auto shipper just gave me a call to schedule delivery... 
I arranged for it to be delivered this Saturday morning, so perhaps I shall bring it to the Kartzone festivities?

Ok, do that. All I have to do is put in the radiator fan, so maybe I'll be able to bring mine too. Then you guys can see what that Flaming Eye LED dash light kit looks like. I'm liking it. I can actually see the gauges now!

Brian, glad to have you in town. Can't wait to see the TurboS. Unfortunately mine won't be ready for about another week and a half. We are having to do a little fabrication of parts to make this S motor comply with the autos flywheel/flexplate, and I had to get the different ingnition setup for the S motor. When its all done I'd be down to leave you guys in the dust at Kartzone. C'mon yall know I have the weight advantage.
Well, glad to see your startin to settle comfortably, man.... can't wait to get this puppy into my ride:
