Default woohoo!

pointless thread, no point just excited
but anyway i was taking out my transmission yesterday and i noticed a sticker on the motor, i looked at the sticker and noticed it was a jasper engines and transmissions sticker, i called them today and it turns out my motor was rebuilt in 2004! my baby has 103k miles so ive been scared to push the limits of it with nitrous and a cam but now that i know that it probably has half those miles im so pumped now!

dont want to burst u'r bubble, but jasper engines are no good. i've never had one but several of my friends have and they were nothing but junk.

hopefully u'rs is an exception, i hope it lasts a long time for ya

There was one in a friend's car and Jasper took the cylinders .010 over and put stock bore pistons and rings back in it.
