It will be interesting to see the suspension mods to hold the car through the twistys with all the extra power. The "tyers" alone will help but the total package will probably blow my mind.

Geez, talk about over the top on the stereo (course goes with the overall theme ). Have you ordered ear plugs, or are you planning to keep volume control on 1?

That's been taken care of. Tires came in yesterday, I put the sensors on the wheels last night, tires were mounted and ready at around noon, just need to pick them up. Black chrome Gorilla lugs were overnighted to me and have been delivered.

With an average of 29.13 posts per day, I have no idea how EG has the time to work on Grond. I am always amazed at EG's work! Grond has been an inspiration to my Z. Look forward to the continued incarnation of GROND!


NOW GET OFF LINE AND GET WORKING!!! You have a lot of work to get done!!

Bling bling. You're going to end up being the British "Superfly". Photochoppers, feel free to express yourselves.

I really do not understand where this perception that I have a ton of money comes from. I don't.

I just choose to spend my discretionary income on my hobbies rather than on time wasting nonsense like cable/satellite television, pay per view, giant TVs, and other things like that.

And to ensure an adequate discretionary income, I arranged my financial situation so I only have a mortgage payment and nothing else. No car payments, no boat payments, no jet ski, motorcycle, ATV et al.

I can't stand debt so I have no credit cards, no loans - nothing. If I do not have the funds in the bank, I do not make purchases.

Life is simple and life is good. Invest wisely.

EG
