 Welcome back??? Yes, after a few years vanishing where I went to work at Honda R&D, I have returned. Never made it to those ellusive 9s on my blurple EK....it did go 152mph on a slipping clutch and made 830whp though. New setup will probably not be as complex, but it will still remain a street car (can't have it any other way) and should get me into those 9s that have been elluding me for years. An old video ot two to honor the times with....miss that car. Damn ex-wife!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGKKkEwiTCQhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6AIemuxDww

Re: Welcome back??? I am back in WR. Working civil service again developming missiles. R&D was great. Will have to catch up one night and get a beer to tell you some awesome stuff I did and got to see. All the test tracks where they developed all the civics, tegs, NSX, etc....got to test all that, see all that. It was awesome.
Still building harnesses and slowly regrouping after trying to save the last 10 years of my life. But oh well. Better off now and going to build another car soon. Picking it up last weekend in July.
