Bartender X

E.C.: Sorry for my late reply. I got my Spec. B @ May 12 at Halpert in Mentor. I have been to Ellacott several times (they're close to where I work) but they never had a Spec. B when I was there. Glad to hear there's a Bentleyville connection, I thought I was the only one who lived there . . . -Bartender X

Hi (Evan) Edgecrusher: Cool, I live in Bentleyville, so I'm sure we'll see each other again. Do you commute to Columbus, or just have family down there? A long hike, but you have the right car for it. See you around, -Mike

6/16/06 Saw a white LGT with a factory wing eastbound on 422 around 4:00 p.m.; I was moving along at a good pace (i.e., passing everyone else) when this car zoomed up right behind me. I was surprised until I recognized the car. He pulled up next to me and we gave each other the thumbs up. Are you out there?

Greetings all: Allen, it wasn't me, but I was in that neighborhood on Sunday. I was at St. Dominic's church (Norwood + Van Aken) Sunday morning from 10:00 - 10:45, then parked at my brother's (sibling brother, not a Subaru brother) house on Edgerton and Fairmount from 11:00 - 5:00 on Sunday. It does kind of sound like my car, though. I'll be on the lookout. -M

Hey, thanks again for all the info, I think I'm getting some idea of how it all works. Unfortuantely, my wife is not exactly enthusiastic about the car, much less any upgrades. So it may be a while before I can do anything. But I can dream . . . See you on the road! - M "464"

Hi Guys, thanks for your responses. Allen, I've got to tell you, most of the stuff you were describing to me was way over my head. In terms of cars, I had a 1989 Honda CRX Si that was totally stock(but still managed to get a ticket in Montana for doing 130 MPH plus:icon_twis ), and a 1969 BMW 1600 that I completely rebuilt from the ground up (bored-out 2002 motor, schrick cam shaft, 10.5:1 pistons, headers, exhaust, sway bars, torsion bar, bilstein gas shocks, brakes, transmission, 4-point harness, the works), so I am somewhat familiar with working on cars. I remember when I upgraded my original 13" wheels to 15" wheels, I thought I was really pimped out. However, I had a buddy help me with most of the upgrades, and everything for a newer car like my 464 seems totally different. Are there warranty issues with the upgrades you've done? BTW, at the risk of showing my ignorance, what's an OBP? -M

Hi Allen: I'm still getting the hang of this site, so I just found this thread today. Thanks, it was cool to meet you. I was giving my boss his first ride in my new car, telling him all about it, when I looked up to see you in front of us, giving me the thumbs up. I'm interested to hear about some of the mods you have done to your car, it looks sharp as hell. I'm paranoid about doing any engine or other mods that will void the warranty, so I really don't even know where to begin. Also, I would prefer to wait until something needs to be fixed before replacing it, but anyway, I'm interested. Let me know if you have a minute to talk about what you've done and who did the work. BTW, I saw a black GT with a factory wing on Solon road in Solon the other day, but it blew by before I could give a wave or see the driver. What's the deal with the LESROC? -Mike "464"
