If I wasn't working I would totally go, but my upgrades aren't going to pay for themselves.

That sucks dude! I just blew my coolant elbows last week, so I know how it feels when you break down and cant drive. Also, I was just about to post and say that I wont be able to make it, and now I feel better that I'm not the only one. Got a couple of huge research papers to finish for my God-awful summer college classes, so I gotta park the monte for this weekend. She's not quite ready yet anyways. Catch you all again sometime soon!

Good luck with the upgrade, turbo monte. Cant wait to meet you and see that beast!

It does suck! I ordered a new bigger turbo and I am upgrading my down pipe as well now. Parts were ordered yesterday. I also feel better knowing I'm not the only one not gonna be at the show I posted about lol. I am further diagnosing the car tomorrow to be sure its not piston rings or valve seals which I got my fingers crossed it isn't.

Thanks for the luck I hope you get your school work done quickly can't wait to meet up sometime as well!!
