Ct...

Like I said though it's not even set up yet...

But I'm giddy exited... I'm gunna have a REAL hard time not spending every dime I have on parts...

I'm thinking about convincing my buddies (guys who run the station) to start an online parts store so we can sell performance parts directly to people and get a discount ourselves... as it is they get stuff for good prices from some places but not all.

Oh and the dyno we have should have no problem containing the accord... it's actually a pretty nice looking rig... it's got moveable rollers that wrap the front of the car like (car) that so it minamizes roll around you get when you just strap down the front and chock the rear...

It should be good though... If I can increase they're profits and bang stuff out then I think I could end up making pretty good money on top of it all...

And as a side note this is the shop I always use to work on my car so I'm pretty familiar with it and it has LOTS of good stuff... nothing too crazy but lots of good things to have..

13ton press (god send when I bought my master kit)
big ass cherry picker (for pulling da engines)
power brake bleeder
4 wheel alignment machine
4 bays w/lifts
Spring compressor
all the tire machines
brake lathe (I'm not positive yet but I think I can shave down my flywheel on it... not sure If I would though seeing as how it's got 160k on it)
Lots of welding stuff

Oh and one of the night guys is a body/paint guy so a color change may be in the not too distant future too... (I'd probobly get it painted elsewhere though... it's by NO means a clean enough shop to get a good paint job... my buddy painted his 70 impala there and it came out pretty good but some trouble spots cuz of all the dust in the air.)

Rambling... VERY VERY exited.
