No one else showed up to help except Ken and I. Left for Romeo at 7:30am. from G.R. Got home Sat. night about 12:30am dead tired. Ken still had to drive home to Grand Haven. We took 2 full enclosed trailer loads back and forth to Livonia from Romeo (Ken's dad has one that you can fit a car & a 1/2 in). About 1 hour each way. I did get to drive Stazi's Tour on the first trip since we didn't have enough ppl to move all the vehicles. His car is so much fun and the stares with the CF hood. 
Sunday got up & helped a buddy "tune up" the SVT Contour he just bought out in NJ. The secondary butterflies weren't opening and it had a slight miss under load. I completely tore down the upper and lower intake manifolds. Cleaned all carbon build up totally out, replaced spark plugs and wires, new fuel filter, removed water pump and inspected impeller for cracks. Checked for error codes that were previously present because of the failed IMRC box and took her for a drive. Back to her 195 horsepower self! Sharkey and I need a weekend from our weekend.

Thanks again Todd and Kenny, without you guys, like you said; I would've have been screwed!
Hopefully a couple more people will be availble to help me move from storage into my new home, once that's made vacant and available to me.

Sorry I couldnā??t help Stazi... Let me know when you'll be moving into the new house. Hopefully I will have all this court [censored] straightened out by then (long story).

Hey Stazi... Look me up when you move from the storage place to your new pad. I'll be more than happy to help out.

Steve with you, Kenny and Todd, and of course myself, we could move in, in half the time as it would help in carrying in and placing furniture.
Plus once we're done, I'll fire up the Bar-B and crack open some tinnies for the workers (moochers not welcome  !).
Then we'll have to ship Todd's big black trophy over this way and into my 3 car garage to get the damn engine back up and running; as it won't happen in this millenium over in his little shoebox garage!

Congratulations on the new house. Always great to move right next to your job, it makes life sooo much easier. Ugh, I'm currently in D.C. on an internship and have to battle a 1.5hrs commute for a measly distance of 14.7miles  ..I seriously can't wait till I get back to good ol' Michigan traffic; it really isn't that bad, guys.. Anyways, congratulations bro...
