Zeus did I meet you down at Porky's with Eric M. a while ago? If not it was another red Cobra drop top.

I heard a GTO tried to have a little go ahead with a 350Z Nismo this weekend on 35N. Needless to say the 350 didn't win. Yay Ames!

1.) Rich asian kid lets white kid drive the Nismo by himself
2.) Idiot white kid tries to catch up with a GTO to rade it in rainy cold starting to ice conditions.
3.) Comes over hill and hits black ice hits the center rail and goes into a ditch
4.) Profit

I guess everyone was ok

Anyone ever done or had someone do a timing chain or timing chain tensioners on a SOHC Ford?

I'm looking to have a '97 Exploder done. I think I can get away with just doing the tensioners...I don't want to do it myself, but don't want to pay dealer labor to have it done. Let me know!!!

Try Lund's over in Waukee. That's where I take my car when I need something done to it.

ASAP, if you'd check with him, I'd really appreciate it, it love to give some side work to someone.

Doing OK, feeling like a home body already & crap weather is just getting started.

The '93 LX is for sale...I'd deal on it, I have an ad in the Midwest classifieds on here....
