The reason why I’m not really worried about it at all is that I’ve noticed over the years one thing has been constant. (Hold on 59 year old grampa is going to bore you with a life lesson) Good people hang with good people. I see a lot of people on this forum that have provided me great advice, free of charge, and without treating me like a ******** saying “Oh yeah, his products great.” That’s good enough for me.

And that’s not saying I earn a pass on the ******** part. Like that one time in Mexico! Ah....that’s another story!

I love my AD mounts, but I understand why anyone would get sketched out, some real talk... why does he still have an AOL account?

Just because you still have free minutes doesn't mean you need to use them. (that's a joke for us old guys that pioneered the interwebs) ;)


Yeah, I've tried to get him to at least appear professional or casually join the forums to answer questions, ship the products he resells, or just to count the likes. But we all can't work 60hrs a week and live the legends life like @Ecoboost_xsport

I'll admit, I am too young to know what that is. Apple IIe is the first computer I remember in our family. I do remember having AOL disks for days though.
I remember playing first clunky video games on a Commadore 64 computer and this was the drive for the game.

and that was big time. My family didn't have the $ or interest to get one at my house. Same for cable tv

Hey, I can remember cutting telex tape to send orders to the factory BEFORE even fax machines. You would type out a message or an order at a keyboard console that punched out corresponding holes in about a 1” tape. When you were done, you’d dial a number, hear what sounded like a fax or modem on the other end. Then your tape would feed through and print the order/message on the other end.

Ordered mine today from Tony. Should be here Tuesday. Have you installed yours yet?
Unfortunately not. I am currently working about 92 hours a week, trying to buy a house, and with snow on the ground, it may be a little while before they go in. I have to say, they came on time and were packed very well.

I enjoyed putting rock/metal tapes into my Teddy Ruxpin.

So far on upgrades I have bought since this post is the trans mount and full hot pipes and nosemaker delete to help install methanol.(all yet to be installed waiting for time and everything to be in)

I am now thinking I want to upgrade my break kit. I originally wanted to go wilwood they didn’t have anything for the sho. So then I tried brembo and am not finding anything.

any recommendations on break kits ?

Are you interested in upgraded breaks for better stopping (you plan to autocross?), or for appearances?

Stopping power won't change from a 4k$ brake upgrade...but the 4k$ brakes will cool down better, preventing brake fade. Lot of money to blow on something that only yields results on a race track.

You are not wrong I am mostly interested in it for breaking power reliability and longevity . Honestly I’m not crazy about the breaks and how they look on the sho. I would probably go with black calipers if I did.

A mix of style and performance but a lot heavier on performance is ideal for me
