I see him every now and then..I know a few people that know him, so I am keepin tabs on him.
I'll have to do it from a 40 or 50 roll...I'll try not to blow the Tires off of it..

The full Tune goes in tomorrow, shift points set at 6800, everything adjusted properly..
because some people are tools and need to be put in their place. and as far as what he has done, unless its a forged bottom end with a lotta boost or spray hes got about a snowballs chance in hell. tell him to take a picture of your tail lights while your parked because thats probably the closest hes gonna get to them.

Well guys we might have a little problem..

Me and Rhino were playing with the Car, we were taking it out and doing the WOT Tuning, and I had to adjust the Throttle Body for the Idle..and I noticed Coolant all over the passenger side Head.
The Radiator had cracked and shot Coolant all over the Head. I was able to drive it home and get my other Car, but it's down for now..It's still driveable, it only leaks at WOT, have to see what happens..

Alright..this is the thing with it..I took it out today, drove it around. It was a little moist and I could see a little bit of Coolant around the area where it looks like it's cracked. I kept driving it to see what it would do, since it's not even a drip..and it stopped..
I kept checking it and I kept seeing nothing. I then took it out on the highway and romped on it a little bit..kept an eye on things and when I got home and checked it..nothing there, dry as a bone..
I don't know what's up with it..maybe some crud inside got into where it was seeping through and stopped it.
It's not overheating and the Fluid level was normal..I'm driving it and seeing how it goes.
Hopefully I get my $100 this weekend..

Yea..I'm about to park it and tear it apart this weekend. I was driving it earlier, and I noticed a crack on the front of the Housing as well..the back is getting more and more wet. It looks like it's about to go..I don't want to be on the road when that happens.

Got to love having 2 cars..

Well if you race the guy... you have to use this line: "Is your **** really that slow or are you trying to hustle me?" Get that on film, and you will be the king.
