[urq] hey all - guess who's back...

[Michael Williams]

seriously, who is back? i dont know, myself, but i have a feeling  
that it is more apparent to you... strange, isnt it? hmm..

well, a lot has been happening in my life over the past few years -  
my father passed away in november, and my sister and i are trying to  
recover from that in addition to dealing with the probate process in  
regards to the estate.

my urq has been off the road for a couple years as well, as i ran out  
of money to register it (and to cover a bunch of tix that my father  
got in my car and never would pay for... oh well, que será, será.   
and i also didnt have the money to get it running properly again.   
fortunately, though, i now have some cash that i am going to pour in  
to the car to get it up to the condition that i've wanted it to be in  
since i very first got it.

im gonna get one of javad's 034 efi stage IIc systems, as well as a  
ton of other stuff - header, turbo, downpipe, exhaust, short-shift  
kit, dash gauge pod thingie, finally installing the aluminum strut  
tower brace for it, 17x8 wheels w/ appropriate tires (after having  
the rear fenders rolled professionally), the firewall brace for the  
clutch M/C, an addition of the tilton in-cockpit brake bias adjustor  
dial for my custom dual brake system, sound system - including some  
custom mouldings for mounting speakers on the doors, but without  
having to cut the leather door panels (probably out of fiberglass),  
oil cooler upgrade, radiator upgrade, intercooler upgrade, re- 
upholster the front seats to bring them back to as-new condition, and  
also am going to have the exterior cosmetic issues mostly taken care  
of by a re-spray on the areas that the previous owner attempted to  
have matched correctly - but that, unfortunately, have lost their  
consistency over the years since.

im gonna be talking to javad about what my options are on various  
budget ideas - he is wanting to get my car up to a 20v and 500hp!!  
jesus, i cant even imagine that... oh well, i bet that, even with the  
basic IIc efi system, and a bump up to 19psi w/ 21psi overboost - and  
leaving everything else as is will end up making a SIGNIFICANT  
difference in power, but that idea of a custom built motor and 500 hp  
is just intoxicating...

anyway, just wanted to say hi, and let y'all know that im back on the  
list...  hope things have been going well for all y'all too..
