If you guys from the south are looking to cruise up, my friends are leading a cruise at the Chevron and roll up at 7:15 sharp -- 7737 Balboa Ave. That place is also e85 friendly.

Should definitely see a Mystichrome Termi, White Termi, new Red Hellcat, and probably 10 others. Most of them have like 700rwhp, but they won't call you names if you're not there yet.

we donā€™t go very often as it gets pretty nuts.

we may end up doing the tour d orange rally on New Yearā€™s Day though. Itā€™s a pretty early rally with hundreds of cars.

So I talked to RPG last week and was told my engine would be ship really soon. All that was left that needed to be done was basically finishing the assembly and pressure test the motor. Unfortunately the engine didnā€™t pass RPGā€™s pressure test. I was inform it was an easy fix that had to do with the head gasket. Engine will get new gaskets, reassembled, and pressure tested again.

Im grateful they let me know there is a slight delay. Iā€™m also glad when they saw an issue, they got right on it and began fixing it, instead of just sending the long block out and not worrying about it. Great way to take care their customers!!:rockon:

Still on the fence about getting rearend gears, but seems like Iā€™ll be going with 3.55ā€™s.
Now, taking bets on how much rwhp this thing will be putting down and at what psi..

I'll make you a sweetheart deal on my 3.55's as I'll be swapping in 4.09's and a Torsen T2-R. I'd be doing that now, but I blew up my transmission Sunday at ACS, so maybe February or so.

If anyone is interested in attending the Tour D Orange car rally on New Yearā€™s Day.

Meet up will be at Fashion Island parking lot in front of Cheesecake Factory.

1141 Newport center drive, Newport Beach Ca

I believe cars will start to park around 7am.

Im not sure if there will be music etc this year. There has been in the past prior to the pandemic.

Cars will begin pulling out at 8am. The Rally map/directions are always given out the morning of.

If you havenā€™t been before this New Yearā€™s Day rally includes all makes and models old and new. Hundreds of cars show up and go on a rally through Orange County.

Heres a couple of past videos -

My resolution is to learn how to fiberglass and weld. I know my Iggles won't go far, but considering they were a 4 win team the year previous, making the playoffs is a nice sign that the new Head Coach and QB might have been the right choice.

I donā€™t see how Jalen Hurts is going to win games throwing for 150 yards & running for 60 yards. Heā€™ll be a 1k yard rusher AND with his frame he definitely wonā€™t last over 2 years. Whoā€™s the eagles QB coach?


They got out of their own way, all the way to LA
I can say they will get more support and better media coverage in LA vs. in SD. At least they got a good QBā€¦
