I agree, I have spoken to Big 3 and they're going to build the motor for me for nothing, I just have to supply the parts. So, we have already started to obtaining parts. A big thank you to Josh, he is selling me the block that he took out of the Protege 5 he bought, can't thank this guy enough! What a great addition to the team and man I owe you big time and you will e taken care of. Thanks to the rst of the family for all of the support, it means a lot to both Lauri and me.....so the Spicy Saga continues........

Subbin, though a little late...

Sorry to hear once again, Marlon. But if you need any help or anything, you know all you have to do is ask. I like FS-DE's and Protege's.

More than likely not, but it gives me time to get everything done right and rush it to get back on track, especially since I won't have enough events for Nationals for this year. But I will be out to support our friends and family.

May not have enough events to run in Nationals, plus the cost will be way too much to enter. Would need more time for test and tuning as well, getting the suspension dialed in, car balanced etc.

I hope to see her at the Corral for sure. What was wrong with your CF strut bar? Not that there is anything wrong with the CorkSport bars.
