I guess I just assume they are going to do it wrong if they don't state that they are going to do it right. And I simply said "I hope you've done your research" not, "hey you fucked up".

It's kind of like when somebody posts about this new turbo setup they are building and how it is going to be so great, "I've got this turbo, this manifold, this BOV, and this charge piping!! Isn't it rad!?!?" the first thing everybody says is "what are you going to use for fuel management, I hope you've done your research." what's the ------- difference?

yeah i'm aware of maintaining the suspension geometry... i kicked it around with the old timers while sippin on Black Velvet and Pepsi a couple of weeks ago. :) thats what i love about those guys i just tell them what i want to do and then they start going off about how you gotta do it this way... and that way... good peeps.

FURACERMAN:
the lotus 7 is a wicked ass machine and whats even more amazing is that he has done all the work himself. i think he said hes in it about $3000 just for the car, but hes also got a couple other donor cars too so... couple more grand?? i'll make sure to take pics this saturday.

i'm not sure exactly what he used but i saw him using a 90* air die grinder/sander thing, he took of the DOHC Mazda casting and then he said something about start sanding with 250 and working your way up to 800grit till your fingers cramp up... oh also he said that its the perfect weekday project to work on in front of the tv. really... i dunno all the details... i'll find out.

thanks for the positive comments... i'll report back when i get it all finished up.
