Martin himself will make it, but his car will not, still waiting on a turbo kit...
The original plan was to have Martins car at rotorfest to show off some of the work I can do, but due to parts delays we were unable to meet the orignial goal of May 15th, Now I possibly will not even get his kit before rotorfest. Even if we did, there is so much that has to be done after the kit is installed that I would have to still be working on it as we trailered it up to the show... I am not sure who is more disappointed by this, Martin, or myself. But know this, due to the delay more parts that were not affordable to put on when the original estimate was done, are now being ordered, Martin will have a badass FD when this is all done, we just have to realize that this all happend for some unknown reason, and that we all learn from the mistakes made. Martin has at least one paycheck in Motrin purchases for all the headaches he has had with the parts suppliers. I was kind enough to leave him the responsibility of ordering what he wanted and shipping it to me. Well we have 85% of the stuff now. And more due in today, but the Turbo is what is the stopping point at this time.

Drive the excursion up there. You are going to miss Ito's RX-3 dragger. Also miss out on Ito's birthday.
If you want and if I go, I can pick you up a RotorFest '04 t-shirt and nopistons.com shirt? Tell me what is up.
