That sucks jacob, borrow one of your buddy's fbodys for a quick spin.

I'm going to try and store mine away this year. I'm not looking forward to it. I have to buy a beater first.

Quick question... where did you get your hid's and how do you like them?

I know what youre saying. I sold mine because of a few problems it had thatd cost me an arm and leg to fix , plus I never raced anyways. Now I wish I wouldve kept it because this damn truck is a turd and no fun to cruise.

i think you're still "tuning"....and don't let cogs tell you i'm emo, he's just being shitty.

ps 15 degree heads with 2 turbos is never even to a 23 degree head'd stock bottom end N/A motor. that wouldn't be fair ever.

Javier, you down for doing something next spring at the track? We're gonna have a 306 with a blower...It would be fun to try out that twin turbo MONSTER. Full interior street car too.

Still going to get more paintwork, so that's why I said this Spring.
