That car is epic fail...I talked to the guy that owned it before ur buddy a few months ago.
Hed pulled up to our little hangout in it and got out and was telling everyone how it was a 40,000 dollar car cause thats what kbb said....we proceeded to make fun of him...he then start it to rev it up like hard *** (cause thats what all the cool kids do) and i heard a knock sound everyone else noticed it as well. I asked about it in front of eveyone and he said it was a lifter.....I looked at him and said it sounded alot like rod knock...like really bad......he then told me i was wrong and then proceeded to tell everyone ion the lot that it was for sale. then i told everyone that he talked to to not even think about it....then he leaves and leaves a huge BLACK AS DEATH puddle of oil....
A few months pass....then i see him come back on his bike...I walked up to him and asked him why he wasnt driving the rx7. He just looked at me and said "Oh.....turns out it was a rod bearing" I just look at him and then walk away.
I hope he got everything figured out and hope your freind has a straight car. I would run through it though and check everything.

Personally I'd yank the motor at the very least and take a look at it. If nothing else, it needs some heads that aren't iron relics from the 70s and a matched cam/valve springs, with a good set of rockers.
Or, he can lose to Switches. Either or.

On another note, it looks like I'll be staying here this weekend, so are there any special plans, or is everyone going to be parked at liberty like normal?

Hopefully my car will be on the road by this weekend. Just waiting on a stupid harmonic balancer (Pro Products lost my order!) and a vacuum block.
Nick's car should be running this weekend also, though I don't think it will be moving more than 20-30' under it's own power (if at all).

New shortblock shipped today. Should be here Friday. Nate hopes to have the old one out by next weekend. Then Joe can check it over. Heads and intake will go to Al for inspection and any additional port work on the intake.
Julie's in the loop now. Not happy, but eerily calm. I sleep with one eye open.

So hopefully it'll start, but it'll most def be in hover-craft mode. Last edited by The Beast; 08-25-2009 at 05:50 PM.

What are you trying to say ?? That my Buick is slow , just not rod knocking ,lifter ticking,oil leaking , V-8 RX7 slow?
08-25-2009, 06:39 PM
It sounds like this year has been filled with the enevitable... peoples **** breaking. And for a few others, waiting on cars to be finished. Anytime you get a bit of that, its to be expected for things to slow down.
In my position, I prefer things to be this way for now. That way I don't miss anything exciting while I am gone.
Anyone know if Nate is getting either his old car up and running? Or doing anything to his silver one?

Nick, I love the M&Hs. I'll get them again. Assuming I still run the 17s. When I do the new rear (Spring?), I'll go narrowed with 15 inch Bogarts, probably.

Did you guys here that Papa John's are giving away large 1 topping pizzas to whoever has Camaros? I got mine today and I know Darren did too.
08-26-2009, 08:38 PM
Besides, most of the guys that post in this thread anymore don't even own F-bodies, let alone a Camaro!

It was all on the account that the founder of Papa Johns had an old 2nd Gen Camaro who he had been searching for since he sold it back in the early 80's. He just found and re-purchased the 2nd Gen Camaro (for like $250,000) and in celebration of it was why today he was offering a free pizza to anyone who drove up in a Camaro.
I personally don't care for Papa Johns pizza (much prefer Pizza Hut), but I gotta say its a sweet giveaway for Camaro owners...
Speaking of sweet things for Camaro owners, anyone happen to see the latest GMHTP magazine? Perhaps looking in the Street Heat section?
