No I didnt hear about that wreck. I hope your okay and sorry it happened.

I knew that Merlot was coming to pcola, but didnt know when. Is there anyway that you can get ahold of him for me. I could really use some help with the wiring. I wouldnt mind picking him up and dropping him off at the base. Maybe we could do it on a Sunday or something. Also, I'll buy him lunch, beer, hookers or whatever. I'm even willing to pay him if he wants.

Shoot me a PM with his info, or get him to call me. Please!

well it was bad. it was the day i graduated school on NAS and was on my way to norfolk to visit jon on leave. appearently i was racing some silver mazda in my vette doing speeds of around 160 mph. lost it, went through a guardrail, flipped and the car blew up after i was pulled from it. i had a traumatic brain injury (i should be retarded now), lacerated my spleen and liver and popped my lungs. and now knee and back problems that bother me and only a fiero pulling some G's on a controlled course could make feel better :P yea, that need for speed is still in me. just controlled a sht ton now. im too scared to go over 75. even that is frightening. and this fiero feels faster than my vette did. very scary.

So when's that phone number coming? I was hoping we could meet up this weekend. I'm kinda on a tight deadline to get my car on the road. The wiring is like the biggest hurdle I have to cross. Everything else is pretty much done.

i sent u a txt.

im game for sat and sunday

just wanting to check, can I use an 88 aluminum flywheel with this engine? would it be worth buying and would it be a good choice later down the road if I go turbo?

Thanks

Yes on the internally ballanced 3500s ( I believe they all are) you can use an 88 flywheel.
