Not too long ago, I replaced the worn out outer tie rod ends and have just been daily driving it and now I find this... And unfortunately I'm strapped for cash bad right now and am looking at replacing 2 tires that will not be covered under warranty from Discount Tire + a front end alignment. :( Guess I'll be driving the beater car for a bit...Quote:

And the autox more the likely messed with the front end. May not seem like it but it beats on the front end. I check and adjust mine few times a year. Because of the abuse the front end sees on track days.
Does that also hold true for aggressive street driving? I like to throw my bitch around in turns kinda hard sometimes lol.
lol yep it will. its a common thing people over look. When you are driving balls to the wall. You need to maintain your engine. And it holds just a true for the suspension.Quote:

Lol no kidding. Finding that yesterday was a pure fluke, too. I was pissed off from arguing with my wife about some stupid shit and decided to go outside and scrub my calipers clean to blow off some steam and found I was on the verge of 2 blowouts. Guess everything happens for a reason, huh. If it hadn't been for that, I'd have just kept right on driving it till they popped. :lol:Quote:

I got a 1LE front sway for my 95 TA. And during install i lost 2 bolts for the sway bar bushing clam shell. So i went to a hardware store and picked up some cheap 10 cent bolts. And put them on.
About 3 months later. I was pushing my car around out on some back roads. And i was in a left hand curve doing about 50mph. And the bolts broke. The release of the torsion on the sway. Jerked my car like a mothafo. It felt like i got side swiped on my front end. I lost control. And the car went into a spin. I spun 1 1/2 times. Hit the road edge went airborne flying over the ditch. And did 2 more rotations in a field.
I got out of my car. lit a cigarette then threw up next to my car. Im not going to lie. Time slowed down during it. And felt like it took 5 minutes to come to a stop. And thought in my head "FUCK IM DEAD"
Holy shit! That's f'in crazy... Glad to see you lived to learn from that mistake lol.Quote:

Well my car is running funny. did some looking around and found one of my opti vent tubes split and came off. Hope my opti isn't fried. If it is. it will be my first bad one in 12 years if owning a LT1...

I personally am very excited about this new technology and hope it becomes more mainstream. Imagine this stuff on your roof shingles -- the water, snow, ice, etc just sliding magically off your roof. On car windshields - no more need for windshield wipers. On metal infrastructure - no more worries about rust.Quote:

Yeah, may not be the best thing for the paint, but I can certainly see it as a God-send for keeping an engine bay clean. Any leaking/seeping fluids would just roll right off and it'd never look dirty lol.Quote:

This thread has 1339 pages and I have no idea what any of them are about. I'm so confused haha
it's all very random. lolQuote:

Think of this like a chat room basically lol. Almost anything goes as far as topic. :)Quote:

another long day at work, then went to a buddy's storage unit and helped get a LS ready to pull! its funny seeing a piston that the valve made its own re-leaf in! after seeing that i will NEVER run a single spring (he had beehives that failed)
At work today one of the LS butt buddies kept telling me I plan on doing a ton of work just yo run 11-12 second passes...
Honest opinions, what do you all think it will run...
Advanced induction 212cc heads (11.0-12.5/1 compression ratio)
Advanced induction 230/238 cam
Ported intake
100-125 wet shot
3.23 gears
TH400 with trans brake
2 step
Usual bolt ons
Subframe connectors
Coil overs
The 2 step, trans brake and coil overs will not be installed for a couple years.
Keep in mind, these are just what I want to do, nothing is final and I am posting here for tips and suggestions
Gonna depend how it hooks... how well you drive.. how good your tune is.
There is a good chance it is an 11 second car.... but right now, my guess is its a 15 second car....right?
bich please...Quote:
