God damn that must feel god getting it closer and closer to whoopin' ass out there! Come on, give us some vids man! Somethings better than nothing.
:seeya:
Jon @ TRE does kick ass with helping people out, when I first got my DSM I called him up to talk about trans choices and what-not, he helped me figure out something relatively cheap and strong. Then when going to install it I had some questions, so my noob-ass called him up and he was more than happy to help me out, he didn't sound like a pissed off dude trying to hurry and get me off the phone, he helped me every bit of the way and also through in some FYI's on whats where and shit. Great guy! Glad you chose to do business with TRE.

When I lived out West, everyone swore by RRE and TRE, so I've always had a good impression of them in the back of my mind. They have some good deals right now too. Dogbox quit replying to my emails, so it was an easy choice for me.
And I did give you a vid, an idle vid :)

Got the new drivers door trim piece in the mail to replace the one that flew off on the freeway a few weeks back. I will be taking it and the front bumper in for some paint one of these days.
Also fixed a bunch of the boost leaks. It's still not 100% sealed, but damn close.
Also got the radiator air scoop done using some misc aluminum I acquired. I'll put up some pics when I get a camera to use.
Waiting on a new boost gauge from MAP. SW 30-0-40 white faced.

Got the new boost gauge installed while I was up at the cabin this weekend. Looks/works great.
Also thought that I'd mention that I got 20miles/gallon to and from the cabin. That's the best milage I have gotten since I switched to E85 last year. It was all on the highway with no stop n go traffic, averaging about 75mph, with the cruise control on, with only a minnimal amount of "spirited driving". I was real happy when I calculated that!

TRE Tranny showed up in the mail today. First impression is that it's the cleanest 1G tranny I've ever owned. And the packaging was excellent!! Now if I just had a day or 2 to put it in...

My days of working my ass off and slaving over this thing are long gone. Slowly but surely, with lots and lots of breaks. That's how I roll ;)
But if you and your bro want to help, many hands make light work :D
