Those are cool, who's shop? Shea's place?

Newer guy in the club, Jason Bertram. Think he moved here from Florida back in ~2010. When I was asking the local TR guys who I should go to, everyone recommended him. The shop is in Edina. A friend of his owns the shop, but Jason works on TRs there. Jason just finished building the GN in the background for him. Has a kilo-horse V6!

Jason & Tom don't get along. Jason showed up & started finding lots of shit wrong with people's TRs that Tom had worked on. A lot of members started having Jason work on their TRs instead. That didn't go over well with Tom.

Anyway...Jason seems to be a good shit & also knows his shit. He's also reasonable. Only charges us TR guys $50/hr for labor! Fuck, that's less than half of what your average regular repair shop charges! It's just a fun thing for him - he works full-time for the FAA out at MSP airport.

Yeah, I like Tom but he can be pretty set in his ways. He was on this site for a while with JR's sidekick Brett. Tom was bragging about his new Tundra and didn't like that I wasn't a fan of Toyotas. He took his ball and left. I still respect him. Not many like him left. I wish him the best.

Not sure about JR's TTA & shop stuff. I'll ask Tom at our next club meeting.

Looks like I need a new turbo. If I'm gonna do that, I might as well get a modern progressive alky injection setup, too. Downside is that I planned to drive it up to Warroad for Labor Day weekend, but it might not be done in time. At least it will be done right!

Got the GN back today! New turbo will have to wait 'til next year. IMG_20240828_171314045.jpg IMG_20240828_171338294.jpg IMG_20240828_173252205.jpg
