**jrhaile** · 09-10-2006, 09:08 PM

I got them like a month ago or so

Always one of my fav wheels and I found them for cheap so I jumped on them! I would LOVE to help you except for that 5 hour difference

Hope to seriously see you over here. It looks like Chea is coming too from FDub so you might want to get in touch with him about caravaning...

**devinwwu** · 09-10-2006, 09:28 PM

i'm pretty sure i'm caravaning with paul so far but ya we could all meet up i'm sure. i'm gonna post up a vid in a bit but i have nowhere to host it with a decent sound quality...

Devin,

I can help with your suspension. Let me know. I am free most evenings after 6 except I play soccer on wednesday nights.

**devinwwu** · 09-12-2006, 12:44 PM

well i am still waiting for them to ship it, but a little extra help next week would be awesome. just havin another set of hands around makes the job go quicker

well guys its not lookin good. i got an email from chris at understeer and he told me the exhaust is going to take a 7-10 day build time. it's my fault cause i didn't anticipate this as i thought they were kept in stock for the particular model i requested. if i'm very lucky it will get here friday but i'm betting on next week. so the drive is off for me.
I also got an email from daniel at flying brick and he told me the camber plates i ordered had to be returned to stock for a manufacturing flaw. He was very nice about it and upgraded me to the full race design as i was going with the hybrid race/street design before. it will be all aluminum now and probably a little more connected but a little harsher as well. I'm actually not bothered by this as i was torn between the two anyhow. but this probably won't be here till thurs or fri either so i dont' see any way to get the car rollin by the drive.

too bad you cant make it man, but it sounds like you will be having a sweeter ride as a result.

**devinwwu** · 09-20-2006, 10:08 AM

ya i just decided today i'm moving in with some buddies up in shoreline. we're gonna have a 2 car garage and a huge yard/house so gatherings and stuff can definitely start there
we even have a middle school right across the street for parking before drives, we'd just have to go elsewhere for donuts (of course i mean the sweet type of pastry) but we're gonna have a welder as well as an air compressor and we're thinking about a lift soon too!

**dinan540** · 09-20-2006, 04:39 PM

Where in shoreline? I live close to shoreline. It looks like I fractured my forearm also. It sucks, the drive is out for me

.

**devinwwu** · 09-20-2006, 04:48 PM

LAME!!! how is work gonna be with that? whole dentist thing really requires hand so casts gonna suck!

its on 3rd right by the Middle school and QFC off of i think 185th...

**dinan540** · 09-21-2006, 11:41 AM

I live at 15th and 140th, near Jackson golf course. I don't need a cast since my arm is fractured, not completely broken. If it was broken, I would need a cast. I am still working. My arm only hurts when I push or squeeze with a lot of pressure.
