Lol if you have a garage you can be doing more mods while it's a blizzard out :). Just have downpipe left to do but not sure if I can do it without a hoist :S

P.S. hope none of you were on the 400 in the 96 car pile-up...crazy

Even my garage is cold. Something about working on your car on sunny mild day drinking a beer is so gratifying. I have all these toys piling up in my garage waiting to be installed.

Finally made time to install the foust front lip. Came primered and I decided to go with matte black plasti dip to match my rims which will be back on soon :) pretty easy install overall once you get factory clips out, predrill holes in right place and get in up into place. About 2 hours this afternoon it took me to install, hope you guys like it. Can't wait to get back to Cayuga again!

I've been procrastinating buying a helmet, but over the weekend I went to my buddy's Stag party and I won a motorcycle helmet haha. I gotta read up on what safety requirements for helmets are needed. Hopefully thats one less thing to buy to get ready for some laps!




Has anyone looked into an advanced driving school on a track?


I've been checking when the next Cayuga lapping session will be, they haven't updated the dates yet!

Wow small world, I played goalie that evening, I play ball hockey with Vince on Fridays (I just got back home now haha) and he texts me when if needs a goalie on Tuesdays (I usually play on Tuesday in the Beaches, but they've been closed until April) so I made it out on Tuesday!
