  1. the tranny out of the turbo cars are damn strong, the ones in the non-turbo cars still aren't bad, but not exactly bulletproof

    I should be in, but a reminder phone call after 5:00 would be appreciated by anyone with my phone number
  3. I've heard that the later C5 ZO6's handle better than the C6, so there's a huge plus, and they have the same power stock vs. stock, plus the ZO6 will be FAR cheaper. The GTO and the Mustang are both nice cars, but I wouldn't exactly put either into the same catagory as a ZO6. The Vette is an all-around better car, from build quality, to how nice and comfortable the interior is, etc. Mustangs are fun cars to drive, but the ones that I've experianced feel like they could fall apart at any moment. The only GTO I've riden in I really liked, but again, It's just not the same as a vette.
  4. Northside: Better roads Better traffic patterns = less congestion Far less crime Nicer homes More money Nicer stores/restaurants Better schools More big businesses = more jobs Faster growing property values = high home resale value Excellent per-capita income (Powell is over $100,000/year per person) Discuss
  5. .22 - 250 is a nasty caliber

  7. http://images.quizfarm.com/11132844312001_Chevrolet_Blazer_Xtreme_02.jpg What's funny is that I was somewhat looking for an Xtreme Blazer when I was last car shopping. 02' Xtreme Blazer 100% 00' Honda Civic 75% Ford Focus ZX3 02' 75% Aston Martin Vanquish 63% 00' audi A4 50% 99' Mitsu Eclipse GSX 50% 90' Turbo Supra 50% Trans Am 38% 64\' Impala 38% 03' Mustang SVT Cobra 25% 05' Cobalt SS 25% 87' Z28 Camaro IROC 25% 02' Mazda Miata 13% 91' Geo Storm 0%
  8. Vin Diesel once attached roller skates to his knees, then drank a 50 gallon drum of nitromethane fuel and farted out a 50' long jet flame, propelling him down the 1/4 mile drag strip to an astounding ET of 0.0000001 @ 669600000.01 MPH, exceeding the speed of light and creating a rift in space which devoured all life within a 100 mile radius.
  9. Rick was having the exact same problem with his. Lustalbert pulled it apart, cleaned it up, and it now works good as new.
  10. Tell him that actual Columbus citizens would like to offer their gratitude for his service and courage to do the right thing.
  11. I used the LT1 as an example in the above post, but it would be just as easy to use an SBC, LS1, GTP V6, or just about anything else. I would choose the LT1 for price, availability, and ease of installation.
  12. The Catera can be a good car, but it will take A LOT of work to get it there. The car is on the same chassis as the GTO, so that helps things, but you will need to be able to fabricate if you plan on using this chassis. It's basically a rebadged Opel, which is where the engine came from. Problems with the car: engine failures wiring problems front suspension/won't stay in alignment 16.5" wheels make it difficult to find tires transmission is nothing special upsides: you can find them with blown engines for $1,000 good platform it's still a caddy, so comfort and a nice interior A good way to start fixing GM of Europe's mistakes is to go with either an aftermarket front k-member, or fab up a tubular one. Assuming you get the geometry correct, this will take care of the alignment/suspension issues and is where the motor mounts are placed. An LT1 is a cheap and solid motor that will fit with ease into that chassis. I *think* that there were some Catera's that came with a manual tranny, but they were rare. If you find one, it would make it much easier to swap in the 6 speed too. Doing all of that will take care of the majority of the problems with the car. Using the LT1 harness will clean up a good bit of the wiring problems. It's a lot of work to get one of these cars to be worth having, but it would be damn fun when finished.
  13. Is this the Roadhouse thats in front of Walmart on 23?
  14. Auto? Manual? 2 door? 4 door? color?
  15. A couple of the tech's there are old members here that don't post very often anymore. They are extremely good guys, I would definately recommend them.
  16. Would you be willing to make some sort of trade for the FD wheels?
  17. I would say that you were lucky that the cop in the honda that was following you wasn't on duty, sounds like he was in the mood to toss you in jail. It was really cool of the other cop to let you on your way.
  18. +1 on Tansky sucking. The other three places in the area are fine though.
  19. I have every other tuesday off, looks like i'm in
  20. This thread just reminded me that it's time for a smoke.... Wanna join me? http://www.columbusracinghosting.com/mfaigley/stillmancantquit.jpg
  21. If a thread stops getting replies, then yes it will fall. I lock threads once a transaction has been made and the thread is no longer needed.
  22. Bump for a shell worth more than he's asking.
