project Gramps

well what a great day yesterday. made one pass and almost put it in the wall going around 90 at the 500 ft marker. when the car went into 3rd gear the back tires completely locked up and it went into a uncontrollable skid..

towed it back to pits and drove it around in the pits and as soon as i clicked it into high gear it did it again.

i'm probably done for the year. baby is due in 2 months and hunting season is here and im not spending anymore money on it.

fucking great end to the year.

2 blown trans.
1 blown head due to a poor machine work on the valves, seats,
and a broken opti!

at least none of them were my fault lol.

i'll try to upload a video of it sometime this week. my cell phone also died completely yesterday , the screen is just solid black...

So the trans was locking up in high gear?

LTXtech.com IS my drug...

Is it time for a 6 speed yet [emoji14]

yes only in high gear only... when it happened and the car came to a halt. we checked it out on the track and nothing was leaking so i tried driving it down again and bam as soon as it hit 3rd it did it again... took it back to the pits. unhooked the trans brake . romped on it in 1st and 2nd and it was fine. i dropped it into 3rd going about 10mph and it did it again...

Wow. That gave me a good laugh.

Like you said yesterday it's good you didn't lock up any further. Scary shit

I think your single pass beat all the ls guys from mifbody. I don't think any of them hit 10s. So

Glad you and Gramps stayed off the wall, brother! Looking forward to what you'll do with the car man.

Yikes. Glad you didn't wreck the car. Sounds like it's time for a break and then regroup.

Put a 400 in it they said....it will be reliable they said. From where I was it looked like u hit the wall glad u didn't....to bad u didn't run faster then my little street machine 10.22 134 that's moving. There's always next year
