Geez, I leave the forums for a few days to play with my new toy (Daytona) and sell my beloved older toy (my 1996 Impala SS has found a good home), and look what happens!

:)

Sam - I'm glad to hear you made it.

Dam Sam, glad to see you made it. Sounds like you chose the right people to build the engine for you. Don't know too many guys that would go out of their way like that, but thank god there's a few out there.

What motor is going into the e30? If you want to take a break on your trip back, assuming you make it more than 200 miles, in in Cbus [ohio] and wouldnt mind letting you stay in our spare room or go out for a bite to eat.

No sexual favors to speak of, but as you are from R3V im sure something homosexual would have to happen. :eek:

To sleep, to sleep....

Hooray for your dedicated mechanic.  What a REAL humanitarian.  I sure hope he gets all the business he obviously deserves. Does he sell parts?

To many ex-military a keg is only "a little" beer. :D

I didn't realize you had contracted with Metric Mechanic to build your motor.  Glad to hear that even despite the problems, they stand behind thier work.  Hope they get everything fixed soon and you get your car back!  

Looking forward to hearing about Febi's excellent adventure volume 2.

Unless I am mistaken, the motor that blew up was not their work-the new engine is.

Pretty impressive customer service.  Febi, when all is said and done, and you are (hopefully) fully satisfied, contact info for them would be appreciated.
