It wasn't that great. The host kept saying, "It's triple time" or some **** like that over and over. Another time he said, "Do it double time" and I thought he was telling them to slow down.

What if they replaced the bald guy with a chick in a bikini? Throw in an element of distraction for the drivers.

I made a thread about the direction of my car. It took a long time to compose, and is kind of a serious thread, so try not to crap it up. I do value most of your opinions though.

i watched the pinks episode this morning....first impression. lots of shots of casinos, red river, etc etc. not many of the actual racing. then they bitched about the rain......still not much racing footage. then like hilton said the double time, triple time thing bc apparently there was more rain headed their way. overall i thought it stunk.

When we were out on our bike ride yesterday I saw at the Relay Station on highway 1 at route 2 gas was 87 $3.75, 89 $3.85 & 93 was $3.95. Are gas prices coming down?

I think so. I paid $3.95 yesterday for 93 at Sam's Club. My sister seems to think that it'll be back down about $3.50 around election time. This would be to leave us with a "less bitter" taste in our mouths about the Bush administration, and hopefully feel better about the Republican Party in general; so that we'll vote for McCain. She's either a genius, or a crazy person. I fluctuate between the two beliefs.

We won't be able to move until wednesday and yes the LCA relocation brackets work wonders. I have mine set in the middle right now and it leaves pretty good. Thought about moving it to the lowest hole to see if it makes a difference or not. Right now I'm cutting consistent 1.83 60's with the middle hole.

I'm just sitting at the house not doing ****. Put my intake on and it threw a low circuit code for the knock sensors. Went and bought a new harness since mine looked kinda bad and a new rear sensor cause it looked rough and it is still throwing the codes. Now I gotta pull the intake again to make sure something isn't loose and that I didn't pinch the wire. Hopefully I can get it figured out cause it's irritating.

I'm impressed you didn't break the oil pressure sending unit. I've broken 3 or 4 of them. I'm going to take you up on that beer pretty soon.

I've been lucky on the sending unit that or I'm just that good lol. I've taken off the intake a total of 4 times already and about to do it for the fifth time. I also routed that vacuum hose from the booster in front of the sender so that I don't forget and break it.

I'm with Hilton on that. I've broken 2-3 and they are proud of those babies. I've got the intake removal down to about 15-20 minutes

Put the lower control arm to the lowest setting. It will give you more negative angle and hit the tires harder.

With the stock torque arm my pinion angle was at -1 with the LCA in the lowest hole. If you have a adjustable torque arm dial it in around the control arms in the lowest hole. With my BMR adj. torque arm i got my best 60fts. with a -2.5 angle.
