Default It's more to just going 130...

anyone can do that on the freeway...

the salt flats are a different story.

There is only one option for street cars and it's 130mph.

If you go over 140 they kick you out

there is an unlimited 150 club but you need a cage etc...

Default Nice dude! Can't wait to see pics.

I'm jealous. I dropped the car off at JMI today. Had a little "incident" on the way there (I'll explain some other time... ask Jeff). Stoked to finally have some work done on the car though.

As for the seats, I got the drivers side in without the sliders but I think I am going to need to put the sliders in because it sits a bit far back. We had trouble with them because the bolts that you gave me that go into the sliders aren't able to be turned down in order to tighten them. Is this normal? There isn't enough space in the slider for the head of the bolt to spin so I don't know if I am doing something wrong or what.

Default Very cool! But you've got Hammond and May mixed up : P

Hammond is the short one. May is the doofy one with the long hair.

Looks like a blast!
