Skid Mark - how fast for 5k?

Likewise, if you want the back bags... rather keep them in the BS family! Solenoids are good, the airline is 1/8 iirc. Pushlocks, small compressor, make the four-eye into a 1 ton?

I don't think it will need more than the 2.5" junk this go round. I'm still thinking about running them to the back and flanging an x-pipe, weight be damned. I have some turns I picked up for another project to put them over the axle. The H or X from the collector to just before the axles would come off at the track pretty easily. I'm not a big drone fan.

I'm also thinking stereo solutions, a MP3 setup / box / amp that can be removed. Drone reduction. grin. Monica likes the same kind of music I do so it would be cool for that 400 mile leg, but then again she doesn't whine about the truck's drone and crappy stereo, so I guess we're okay there.

Jacked with heads today again, intakes on head 1 need a bit of attention to match them up with 2, and I'm not happy with the short turn on either set of exhausts. They have sharp corners from entry angles at either end that are ... well, they're pissing me off because there is no easy way to get to them. I'm gonna have to call this game pretty quick. They'll do okay I guess, definitely light years beyond as delivered. You have to stop somewhere? Time is slipping away.

With the mood I just got put into by the City of Lewisville, who is good for anonymous conversations ... and having it hidden from me until it was too late today to even discuss it with them, I'm not sure this guy is going to make it. Pissed - f*ing pissed - is an understatement.

/edit - still pissed, on many levels. We may see plan Z first.

ut oh.... I have some spare dynamite that I didn't use on the dealership - maybe that'd help?

[Beagle]

still pissed ... it's supposed to turn into reason overnight. My fault for still living in this city. I'll order a car cover but I think just to get some breathing room from these clowns, I'll move it to location X. What's pissing me off is they have to stand in the bed of a truck to get pictures of stuff they don't like but can't see otherwise in my back yard. Who cares if I have 14 motorcycles under a tarp? They do. Clearly, all residents peer into other residents back yards while having somebody else drive them down an alley, standing in the back of a pickup truck.

Find sanity from stupidity. I planned a giant move this weekend, everything to location X. No 26' trucks are available today, but I can have one first thing in the morning. What to do in the meantime? Let's not get rid of parts, lets buy more... CRAIGLIST!

Found (and bought) a TR 3550 for 850.00 with a Lakewood bellhousing that'll fit a Windsor / Cleveland / 385, shifter, and mount. YES.

This one may have to sideline for a bit. BBF/5 speed -> smaller fox. I can get tags on the '90 and they can't say sh*t. Sad for kitty killer, yay for Notch!

My dad has neighbors like that. He lives against a private airstrip, so everyone can see everyone's back yard. Of course, that's a problem since he had 40 something cars in the back field. So he put up a fence (cyclone) with slats. I said "dumb" because his neighbors live above him and can easily see over his fence.... that said, he cleaned up his field (registered, etc), but won't do my suggestion. He should paint a wrecking yard on his fence facing the neighbors.... I totally get the middle finger salute, but being rude just gets more rudeness - that said, a wrecking yard painted by local graffiti artists painted on your fence would be wayyyyy cool... and if they give you grief, it's art - and freedom of expression.

still, dynamite is a lot more fun

I'm finally over my crying and whining (mostly) and have taken on the garage as part of the giant move o junk to X. Assuming I get this pulled off correctly this weekend, I'll have a garage. I am going to anchor a D Ring to my floor and winch the car in and out of the garage as necessary, but if I'm real good, I won't have to. Motivation comes in funny forms sometimes. It's back on!

excelant

Kitty killer is in the garage!! If it doesn't make it now, it's my own damn fault. lol. There's almost more room to walk in the garage with the fat car in there now than there was before, I guess it's all for a good cause. Pffft.

Aaron - the thought has crossed my mind. On the inside, for the nosy bastards viewing pleasure. HA!
