That's OK. We could use a little "real" Canadian beer...

BTW way if PQ shook out enough coins from his piggy bank for blower. A pully should be no big deal.

Just saying

Maybe we can take a collection for the pully.

lmao. So I go back to catch up on Pumpkin and see this......... lmao

I'll have my 3.6 pulley AND beer.

I may even let GTAHVIT off the hook from our bet.

BUUUUUUT, about those DRs ................

I'll buy YOUR beer sir if you can make that happen. lol

What stuff are you getting for your baby?

Springs, sways, end links, control arms....you know, the good stuff....

At least, this is where I'm going to start. We'll see what's next down the line. Not sure...but....

I'm back. Last nite was the RivercraftCraft Xmas party. (www.rivercraftanchors.com) Making Martini's 14 at a time. The math gets more difficult as the night goes on. Fun was had by all. Pic or two follow.

What I was thinking, was I will throw them in the race car hauler when we go to Veags next year at the start of the season. Then I can get one of my Bud's to ship them to Firebird and back to his place after. Then they can come back home in the hauler on one of the trips back to the Great White North. It might work. Got to look at next years scheldue.

Need some help from GTAHVIT as where I can ship them too and who can recieve at Firebird.

Probably handle like a mother ///////. Just hope it's not too noisy and rough.

Just closing the deal with the Driveshaft Shop for one of there 3.5" one piece aluminum driftshafts for Pumpkin. Stock driveshaft is definately a weak point in my opinion. I have bent more then a few sets of bolts so far.

If you don't mind, could you PM what you paid?

Definitely interested to see what you think of a one piece driveshaft. I was looking at there carbon fibre shaft but here there is exaust clearance issues with the aluminum one so the carbon one would be even worse.....

[Merc]

The driveshaft is worth $899.
