Cool The cars back at CMS
For some tranny upgrades

well, since having the newfound power, I've noticed my tranny getting sloppier and sloppier. Went back to SoCal this past weekend to celebrate my GF's b-day with her parents who live over there. So I figured I'd drop by the shop and drop the car off as well... so there she will be for about another 2 months till I have time to make another trip out to SoCal. C.J. seems to be Ryne's "Tranny" guy, and man is he knowledgeable! We took the car for a spin and the whole time he's explaining "syncros, sliders, keys" and the whole time i'm like

any hoot... while I was down I got to meet Mrs. CMS who's carrying Ryne's Sperm (really nice gal)... and they took me out to lunch and we did some chicken dancing... Don't ask

all in all it was good times...

WERD...

I can't afford a whole new rear end right now... I was thinking of doing stuff to my stock 10-bolt... but I've heard that's just a waste of money so... guess I'll drive her till something happens...

she's not really a track car anyways... just my cruiser so hopefully the stocker will last a bit...

FYI, 4 things that are never in the same paragraph together:

Sloppier, tranny guy, sperm, chicken.

It just doesn't sit well.

I've had soooooo many clutch issues with this car... it's almost tempting to do an M6/Auto swap... i just know that would COST a LOT!

think i've had my tranny dropped about 8-9 times now, usually because of clutch issues...
