And anyway, Denise is the woman who almost has everything ;) , or else doesn't want whats left.........shes very hard to buy for........:rolleyes:

you just keep telling yourself that sweetheart :p

seriously though, in my "educated" (haha read: clueless :p ) opinion, if you wait for the upgraded one, you'll want better brakes (more money) and... well, you'll have to wait ;) so you'd probably be satisfied with the current one, you could spend the money you already have instead of it burning a hole in your pocket and enjoy that JCW feeling right away :)

you know it makes sense......... ;) :D

I thought I'd clicked on the speccing thread for a second there.:p

I'd lost this thread, I thought it'd been deleted.

I guess you are right, I would guess it would have needed to start about Jan 2002 to be at legend status today;)

Arent they all? Wife's b-day last week, everyone was asking me, "What does Tracie want for her birthday?" Hell, I don't know, but if you find out, would you let me know too? Even asked her, she said "I don't know." Normally she just wants clothes, but since shes 6 months pregnant, she doesnt want clothes. Gift cards? Come on, thats as bad as giving $. If your going to give me $, give me $, dont tell me where I have to spend it too! :D

I am still all for the JCW kit and it looks like East Bay Mini will be the installer unless Neillo changes their mind. EBM offers a full 10% off the kit for NorCalMini members. That's $450 :) NM offers 10% of also, except on the JCW kit. They told me they would knock off $250. :rolleyes: Hmm, $200. Lets see, the 4 runner gets 15 miles per gallon, 60 miles one way, thats 4 gallons. They will need it for 2 days, so if I come all the way home, thats 16 gallons. 16 X 2.25 = $36. Ball park numebr for the MCS, lets say 29 mpg, 120 miles round trip I'll need almost another 5 gallons. 5 X 2.45 = 12.25 + 36 = $48.25. Still saving $150 over NM. Here it is Neillo, knock off another $150 and I'll stay with ya! What do ya say? :confused:

Motor on

you can get uk cars Mo one of guys in the ofice has a white one ;) tis good but, on an unofficial test, my S is quicker cross country as i've got more torque out of bends he needs to get right up the rev range to start to come back ;) probably slightly quicker in a straight line but the S is better in the bends ;) :D
