  1. I wanted one that was new, and honestly I don't regret it. I could of and should have done it a lot cheaper. Blowing up the stock short block set me back a lot too. I've learned a lot of hard lessons owning this car. Before this car I had not rode in a car that was spraying, had a stall convertor, big cam, or anything that ran faster then 12s, I was a total noob. I had grown up fixing cars and kart racing, nobody I knew was into modding their car. If I had to do it all over again I'd have bought a 99 for $10k less, used, and started with that. I would have picked my mods a little better, and would have reached my goals. I still don't regret what I've done, the car now has more potential then ever. It's cost me lots more because I was learning, but the car is coming together. Hindsight is 20/20, I love my car regardless.
  2. Well in my case, $26k, it was new $10-12k $0 $0 If I was to do it all over again today, with the only objective to be fast and just look decent, I'd buy a Z28 for $5-6k, and blow $10k on suspension and drivetrain. If you bought a V6 Camaro for $3-4k to get a decent one (unless you get really lucky and find one blown up), nothing from a V6 car bolts up, nothing. Not the tranny, not the k-member, nothing, so now you spend an extra $1k swapping stuff. Just doesn't seem like it worth the trouble. Obviously I'm talking about 98+ LS1 f-bodys, LT1s are cheaper but I wouldn't want to build one of those. I wouldn't want to build a Ford Mod motor either, which is why a foxbody is so appealing. They are becoming so much cheaper to build, because most of the parts go dirt cheap. That turbo kit Dyno Brian was talking about really makes me want to go find a decent fox.
  3. Anytime you wanna race, oh wait. I'm sure you're much better at sports then me, and I could care less.
  4. Unless you're building a car with a big budget, I've really started wanting to do a foxbody. Swap parts are so much easier to come by, money wise anyway. If you want a V8 Camaro just buy one with a V8 in it.
  5. So what is there for those with no raceability like you? Oh I remember, headband sports. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/dumb/raquetphil.jpg
  6. Up for whatever, I'll check tommarow for details.
  7. I watch little sports, Nascar gets played in my house because my wife watches it. I'm not a fan of watching much more then highlights, just isn't my thing.
  8. Fuck football. My wife is a huge Raiders fan, but I can't stand football.
  9. Obviously you've never been around an older Maserati, trust me they're worse to deal with than a DSM.
  10. +1 Making them more money, to have them take away from you is bullshit no matter how you look at it.
  11. I have found some nice spots downtown, but I can't get my pictures to come out very good at all. Thing about the parking garages down there is that they charge you, but you get a nice backround. There is also some good looking buildings down there to park in front of. If I could get the pics to stop coming out blurry as all hell, I'd love to do this.
  12. If it happens to be an axle, I've got a set laying here you can have. Usually those shear teeth off either the pinion or spider gears, beleive me I have some of those here too, broken. Damn 10 bolts.

    I've just accepted that I can't match your torque, and quit spraying my hands. So I guess that keeps everyone happy with my forged shaft.

    Awesome, but it's your hand that clicks the button, so clearly your hand has more torque then my car. You should be proud if your dick is still attached.
  19. My brother is the bass player in this band. http://www.myspace.com/souloffireband This is my brother's own stuff, honestly I could care less about the band. http://www.myspace.com/musicimadekevin

    This one time I raced, my car blew up. I guess I'm too fast for my own car.
