What's the windshield banner say? Something about keep right?

I hope to aspire to your level someday. That is a very impressive mod list and the results show.

Slower Traffic Keep Right of course written in reverse so it shows proper in your rear view mirror.

Thanks! Megan's not too fond of that list, or should I say, the expenditures it represents. I keep telling her it's cars or women, her choice...she doens't believe I'll give up the cars though.

guh! it says: "Thgir Peek Ciffart Rewols"

I'm not really sure what that means - some dude named Thgir is peeking at something...

:lol:

anyway - awesome ride Ian, very impressive work.

ianacole · « **Reply #7 on:** December 16, 2005, 03:06:16 PM »

Thgir was a Norse god famous for tricking women to walk up stairs so he could peek up their dresses. "Ciffart rewols" is Norweigian for "Hot Damn!"

:lol:

Thanks for the compliments!!

We shoudl have a GTG where we play scategories (is that the name?). It would be fun with this crowd.

Hehehehe...I'm not very good at that game, j/k

ianacole · « **Reply #11 on:** March 22, 2006, 06:00:17 PM »

Yeeehaaa!!! The suspension is finally done, all the kinks worked out, and it's feeling nimble!! I can't wait for this weekend's autocross.

Now for the brakes, a carbon fiber hood, and a racing seat...then I'm done.

Well, that's what I'm telling Megan, anyways. I will always be looking for ways to be faster, and things always grenade. And I think I will do the back brakes at some point, maybe a steering wheel, audi TT steering rack...then I'll be done, for sure :lol:

Eric18T · « **Reply #15 on:** March 23, 2006, 01:47:24 PM »

sure ian, i just don't believe you.. you will never be done.

i think i am closer to done than you, and i have a lot less money into my depreciating money pit.

Dado337 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 15, 2006, 02:05:00 PM »

Got the Centerlines sold and the Works are about 5 weeks out. Also, just switched from the Avon Tech-Rs to Hoosier A6s. The Hoosiers are stickier cold than the Avons were warm 8O

Can't wait for this weekend's event!! :woohoo:

Perhaps I should have gone with something a little more common, like silver?

Dado337 · « **Reply #29 on:** June 05, 2006, 12:33:49 PM »

haha yeah well all of them work except any kind of green I just don't like the color. And hey there is only 1000 of mine in the US or it's not that common.
