MarcS is back !?!?!? How's the car holding up!?

Sorry smoke Lil off topic


Been really sick so I took a break from just about everything this year. With any luck, all of that is behind me.

The car/engine has been flawless. The engine that I built a year ago performs great. It has just about zero blow by and oil consumption. The oil pressure is still 80 hot at full throttle. Road racing and 20 lbs of boost on pump gas is probably harder on an engine than any other forms of racing. Each 30 minute session works out to about 80 miles at full throttle and 500+ miles a month at full throttle. The only issue that I have is high coolant temps in the summer. I have a new engine, hood, and oil cooler setup that should resolve this.

That's putting it mildly. In and out of the hospital, surgery, unintentional weight loss, vomiting for a few months straight, it goes on.

I'm glad to see you back on here too.

^ Does he mind you airing his dirty laundry? Maybe he doesn't, but I know some people would

Just sayin

Nope, I don't mind at all. Bruce is a good friend of mine and knows what I have been through. Being sick really puts into perspective what is important in life and what isn't.

It's no secret that Matt and I were good friends and then an unfortunate situation put us at odds with each other. Due to being sick and then recovering, I realized that I was being too stubborn to admit that some or most of that was my fault. Due to being proud/stubborn, I probably would have never worked things out with him otherwise.

I will say that Matt was the bigger man and contacted me first though.


Not trying to derail Matt's thread with all of this.

Real class act man....not many people admit fault, especially in this industry. Both of u went up a few pegs in my book. N Matt I envy u at this point. Even though I'm in business for myself, I fucking hate what I'm doing and for the last 10 years dreamed of doing something like what ur doing now but never had the sac to start over. Good luck to the both of u.

^TMS nutswinger.


I kid i kid!!!!!!!!!!!

:kma:
lol

im just a mustang fan that wants to have a local "powerhouse" style shop. TMS has changed a lot of the last two years. ive got no problem supporting them. marc is a invaluable resource, matt is a talented guy and having the two repair their relationship AND to now have them work together is awesome imho.

its not nutswinging, TMS doesnt "sponsor" my car. its just being a fan and friend to guys i know around here.
