On the way to school today, and on university I see a 70's model challenger, nice paint, huge rear diffuser, and new challenger tail lights. Tag said 70 SRT, so I"m assuming a new hemi swap. Really really nice car.

Damn man, that sucks ***. Hopefully you'll get it figured out. We should be back at the track here soon. As soon as we get the new half shafts in we'll be back to put them to the test.

We havent even gotten a chance to turn the kit on yet.

well got good news, i got the motor out of the car and found the problem, it wasnt nothing like a bearing which is what i thought it was, it turned out to be that the flywheel bolts had backed out of all things and thats where the noise was coming from.

Hopefully ill get to hit up some meets at some point. The fact that i play in a band on the weekends kinda cancels that out. Lol. Maybe next time we play chestnut on a friday i can catch the gadsden one. Lol
