    Only chance of getting the stroker built by then would be to win the lotto! :(

    At least I have a temporary engine that runs... Sometimes thats enough.

    Yup I had a 91 Honda Civic Si SQ car with 1200 watts and competed in IASCA it really did get old winning every show you went to.
    Once you have a really nice audio system in a car OEM just won't due. I like to hear the full sound spectrum so I have a few quality parts and only a 10 sub which meets my needs. Amps are so small, powerful and efficient now it's crazy compared to back in the day.

    Today I have (2) JL Audio HD amps with a total of 1650 wats, Focal front separates, Infinity rear 6x9's and a JL 10 w7 in a small custom side enclosure that takes up less space then my Meth kit. Oh and a full layer of Dynamat to keep the sound I paid for inside my car so I can enjoy it.

    Drove it. :)

    And test fitted my Necksgen Rev head-and-neck-restraint device. And installed the Necksgen anchors on my helmet. And installed a RAM mount for my iPhone (or a future GoPro) on my roll bar.

    Didn't do a thing with either Mini the last few days. But, I did, however, pay to have the wife's 525 towed to get the water pump, thermostat and coolant tank replaced.

    Nuth'n like a nice little trip to the coast to lighten the load in my back pocket.

    Today I took my car out of the garage and washed it.
    Then I put it back in the garage.

    Maybe this weekend I will replace my failed tensioner and put on a new idler and new belt.

    What kind of 1911-22 do you have? One of my favorite plinkers is my Colt 1911 with a Colt Ace Conversion Kit on it. Now, to keep from too much thread drift... I drove my Mini to my daughters range to shoot my little .22. :cornut:

    My passenger side window stopped working last week so I finally found some time to look and see if I could fix it without ripping anything apart or costing me a lot of money.

    It is fixed :biggrin5:

    Posted my findings here here so you guys don't have to look for it on "the other" site.
