I have considered going the Braille battery route. How does it perform in cold starts?

I think I'm liked just fine. From the amount of pm's I get and some warnings when you guys are talking **** on me. Seems the only ones I have problems with are the furd guys when I set them straight.

So where is the twist?



Keep contradicting so you won't have to give credit to the enemy.
More bullshit I see.

removing wipers on your street car is super

And no rainX don't work as good as wipers.....not even close.

I never use that ****.....had enough of that crap on the race cars with the drivers complaining they can't see. S.ame goes for that anti fog ****.......it's a joke

Helping friends diagnose a squeeking pulley on an 03/04 cobra....FUUUUCKKKK that. Whenever a friend asked... I just told them to buy a complete new set of pullies to change them all. Once one goes (after spending the time trying to figure out which one it is)...another one goes soon after...and on...and on...and on. I was spoiled with the GTO being the easiest LS motor to work on in car. I had pulling that motor down to a science... could get it out within an hour from turning the first bolt. Though when you blow as many motors as I did... you tend to get good at things like that
Tell me about ******* squeaking pulleys. What I have found that a new belt fixes it for a while. But as soon as you wash the car it squeaks again. One of those things that furd guys don't tell ya because they want you to think their **** is great.

Kinda like the ls7 valves

I don't have any problems with my belt making noise therefore it's not existent and it's not an issue with the fords


Sound familiar

I specifically meant putting the engine in other cars when I mentioned those things. The Camaro 1LE handles great despite weight and it's cog because of the way it's built (the mustang isn't a low slung car to start with iirc). Swapping a coyote into an RX7 or 240 and it will suddenly matter.

Snowmobile was probably worth more, faster and more reliable.

No pretty much the same but depreciating like crazy. The trans am will always be worth something.
