Now regarding little sportscars. Im a huge mustang fan. My era is the 87-93. Ive been thinking alot lately about getting one (I was gonna get a convertible this summer but that never happened and Im gonna get one soon enough anyways) and doing a bunch of suspension upgrades to it, so it handles almost as well as those little foreign sports cars.
I wonder if it would ever be comparible handling wise?
Also definately gonna go with a supercharged engine, I want that thing to fly!
We've been dabbling with the idea of putting a turbo on the Z.
Thanks Jay. I think both of us will see snow this weekend, that should put you in the mood for hunting.

I still plan/hope to build a replica Cobra, and the 5.0 mustang drivetrain is perfect for that. Not so front heavy, but still plenty of ponies. I'd REALLY like to build one with an STi drivetrain... 600hp all-wheel-drive Cobra... drifting that would ROCK!!!

That would be a fun install.

Yeah your probably right regarding the handling Lisa, but a Z is more of a higher end car too, is it not?
I also second the turbo on the Z! Ive been contemplating one for our civic, but just for an economy increase.
Heres what I woke up to this morning. Nice when Im not feeling 100 percent lol.

I could use more tools. My folks and my bro live next door and between the two of them they've got more tools than NAPA.
It's a pain in the a$$ tho when I need to borrow something. quarter mile across the field...
I do have to admit I like being able to keep parts on my kitchen counter, take my time rebuilding things in the kitchen...lol. soak parts in the sink... Oh it is going to take a very special man to deal with me....lmao

I want an Arbor snowboard so that in summer I can have it on the wall and it will match with the rest of my furniture... hawaiian koa wood topsheet... gorgeous
i picked up a 21gal air compressor, 100' hose, 25' hose on a reel, and some air tools a few weeks back for $170. Sad thing was the guy selling it comes out to meet me drinking a beer, his brother is smoking, and they're selling this stuff because their electricity got shut off.... how is it people can be on the edge of eviction but yet have cigarette & beer money???

Hey everyone,
Drove the Z car to work today. Man I forget how much fun that car is. It'll do all the things my truck won't...like turn on a dime and fit in small spaces. I love the limited slip feature when I take a corner too hard.
Have a Dr's appt in a few hours. Booo!
I like that black craftsman. Right now I have three toolboxes, not including the gun cleaning and maintenance toolbox that is just for gun stuff.
I have a mechanic buddy with a custom order set of purple craftsman toolboxes and those things are nice.

Good luck with the Dr appt!
Morning everyone 
I love this pic, its nice to see im not the only one that piles crap ontop of my tool box lol. I only have one tiny roller toolbox for now, no shop built yet to store any others.
Now regarding little sportscars. Im a huge mustang fan. My era is the 87-93. Ive been thinking alot lately about getting one (I was gonna get a convertible this summer but that never happened and Im gonna get one soon enough anyways) and doing a bunch of suspension upgrades to it, so it handles almost as well as those little foreign sports cars.

we got a 5hp 60 gallon compressor and all the airtools here at the house...
we have everything we need to fix a car here except a lift.
I have a really nice toolbox full of tools
What really gets me is I never wanted a brand new box...I was happy with the old one...the matco rep gave me a deal I just couldnt refuse.
this is pretty much what my toolbox looks like...

as of this morning spa temp is up to 79 degrees and no leaks, so i'll be putting the covers back on and testing the waters tonight.
The fireplace and the drinking feasibility test was completed last night while looking for leaks. Drunk dialing was completed to Jim & Jeff and Clay, Clay was the only one who would play. I was bored so what better way to pass the time then to mess with those goobers.
