I've got to put 500 easy miles on my transmission, then change the fluid. Only 440 more to go! Then it's time to BEAT!

I may go drive around a little today if anyone wants to follow.

jeff, i need a high volume oil pump and timing chain, at 100k its time to do it plus i dunno if it was ever done in the past. so what do yall think about a stall? would it be resonable for a DD? is it even worth it?

yeah ill look into that oil pump and stuff. im not trying to be a douche bag but why are you going to get a stall, if your not going to race? im just asking? there isnt any reason really to do this except racing reasons. thats my .02 cents


wayne,chris, and chris curry what do yall think?

^^^^ street encounters yeah, i can see that... but i believe he is more for the looks of his car then racing. and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, because thats how i am as well. but you run a hell of allot bigger chance of breaking something on your car street racing then on the track. being that the track is smoother and no retards zooming all over the place in rice burners! i have to give up street racing because ive seen too much bad **** happen to people and i have a baby girl on the way. btw if your into street racing watch this vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkyRvW1cBB4 this really hit me hard. just thought i would share! enjoy


btw not saying i wont spank some *** on the freeway when a rice burner fly by me!!!

I'm not into street racing, but I've been told by people that a little stall on the street makes it more fun to drive and then the bonus of a little extra pep when you need it. I've always owned a manual vehicle so I have very little experience with stalls in auto's. It was just a suggestion anyways.

Of course I've always been a big fan of show and go. I always take care of the go before the show tho.

I quit street racing a long time ago. About 10yrs ago to be exact when a friend and I were being stupid 18yr olds racing and a car pulled out in front of him. He swerved and hit a light pole head on. Luckily he was wearing his seatbelt and was fine. Nothing happened to us cause the other driver was an old man and was legally blind and driving so we got lucky. I never did it again from that day on. Now out here in the country I will go do a little test and tune on a certain road cause there aren't any houses on this section of road and it's traveled very little. So if something happens it's just me and no one else and that's the way I would prefer it be. If I hurt myself, well then chalk that one up in the stupid book, but I would never forgive myself for hurting an innocent passerby. Not ranting or anything just the subject brought about some memories.

I don't see any reason to do a stall for the street. I will not even mention street racing, years ago I hit a tree at 95 mph. Everyone can see I walk in pain everyday, I was very lucky to live. Maybe if you are using the car to do some haul'in, you may want a cam & stall. I don't think he will be doing that.
