  1. Maybe you should get a side car with concrete in it, and some wheelie bars. Redline clutch dump FTW.
  2. Mine will be back out next year, I was in this same place last year only I don't have as many bills this time around so maybe i can fix it better this time. We can bet when both cars run.
  3. I said thanks in the previous post, I was just a little surprised.
  4. mine looks stock but if you say so.
  5. motorized cooler + 40 hands = epic drag strip experience
  6. Thank you, but if I had to do it over I'd have gotten sunset orange or black. I do like mine though.
  7. You want I should fix my ATV? Rusty S10s don't do mud.
  8. 30 year old fat guys don't foot race, sheesh
  9. Slower then a busa? yup Turbo Cobra, nope.
  10. Well maybe you'll fix your car and we'll race. I can't help that I don't have a motorcycle to race.
  11. I'm faster then you. I race when my car isn't broke, and even then sometimes I race my ATV or someone else's car. I win /thread disclaimer: Chad, you've been with me everytime I've raced your car, don't get any ideas.
  12. So start a thread about it, I'd gladly talk racing if someone gave me something to talk about. edit: I started one for you.
  13. How about we just get a racing section? Oh wait nobody will post there. This is why I post over on LS1tech, at least they talk about cars.
  14. Sucks dude. I still miss my dog sometimes.
  15. There is a lot of paperwork involved, and very accurate records must be kept to show when and what was changed. That is one of the reasons documentation is very important when operating a shop.
  16. Like I said I don't see if it still pushes the wire smooth that it would be a problem. Unfortunatly most of the welders I've used were pretty beat up, but all welded fine. I think that welder you just bought is the same or similar model I used to weld on my sub frame connectors and it was a good working tool.
  17. I don't think you got what I meant, all oils, conventional or synthetic, have synthetic properties to them. Let me also say that I am no chemist and just stating what I beleive to be facts based on conversations with people who are chemists and represenatives of oil companies, with a little of my opinion mixed in there for good measure.
  18. Don't know how much experience you have so i'm just going to state the obvious, The gun is missing the tip and collar, but if it still pushes the wire through without issue it should be fine.
  19. Putting any oil into your engine is fine. There really are no proven facts about any of the opinions posted in this thread. All oils are at some levels synthetic anyway, just like all of them have some level of cleaners in them. Sludge clogs up engines on it's own, though certain things accelerate this process (like seafoam) but the sludge already has to be in the engine. If people use modern oil and change it regularly sludge won't form in the first place. The really funny part of all this is that in decades past like the 50s, 60s, and 70s motor oil was crap for the most part and sludged regardless. Quaker State is one that comes to mind for having had losts of waxes and parifins in it when it first came out 50 years ago more so then others at the time. Everything sludged and people produced different cleaners, keep in mind that engines didn't last nearly as long back then, and sludge was a huge concern. Fast forward to today with modern oils (everything on the shelf) with parts of them synthetic, having cleaners in them, and being less likely to break down you just don't have the problems that people still talk about. Cleaners that used to be needed aren't needed anymore, but people still sell them because of the old time way of thinking. Everything has advanced, and unless your car has been outright neglected I seriously doubt that there is any sludge in it what so ever. Like I have stated earlier if you have a sludge problem, the engine has been neglected and there is no easy fix. If you think you can benefit from synthetic then put it in the car, it will free up a few horsepower causing the engine to run more efficently, better gas mileage, and longer lasting oil, how much so is a matter of opinion. To what degree you use synthetic really doesn't matter. I have agreed with some arguements about synthetic helping to get leaks going, but I also think that those leaks would have started eventually anyway. It's my opinion that synthetic doesn't hurt anything in anyway you use it, if there was they'd put a disclaimer on the bottle. If any of these opinions on synthetic could be proved people would have sued somebody by now.
  20. Drink more water, and don't drink more then one thing.
  21. Yup, but I out grew that kind of shit. Getting drunk is all in the planning and preparation. Carefull planning ahead of time to hydrate and get some good vitamins (5 hour energy works good for me) and then have time to sleep after the fact will reduce or eliminate all forms of a hangover. I haven't had a hangover in a long time, and it's not like I haven't had some instances of being a blackout drunk.
  22. I sure as hell wouldn't want to talk about Tina's Formula all the way up there either.
