  1. Twin screw to turbo. I liked the Saleen blower setup.
  2. These were made in different years and had different colors. Maybe some more details would help.
  3. Why would I get an insurance hike? Car is liability only. Not going to get fixed anyway. It would look a little weird with fresh paint right next to the rust spot. Just goes with the rest of the car. If it had been either of the other vehicles that I own, I would have waited for the county to get there to cite him. I just wish I would have thought about the possibility of getting a nice check to "fix" the car and putting into something else.
  4. No, I'd be in jail. If it was the Cobra, then I would have been able to just hit the gas and make it around him. Stupid Geo Prizm has 0 acceleration, but is a decent daily driver. It was the guys work minivan too. I would have definitely waited until fault was determined before I left it was the other car. Just sucks that the guy was so convinced that he did nothing wrong until the officer asked what happened. I told her what happened and he just sat there with nothing to add. I guess he realized that maybe he wasn't paying close enough attention and I wasn't blowing smoke up his ass when I asked him why he needed to try and share lanes with me on two occasions. I'm just glad that the old Geo didn't spin around at 70mph. That would have been bad news.
  5. Well, I was cruising along as usual in the left lane on 270 this morning when a minivan decided that it was time to switch into the left lane. I guess his turn signal was on, so he could do whatever. I hit the brakes and avoided an incident. Well my exit was about a mile off, so I got into the middle lane and when the front of my car was at his back door he turned on the signal again and started to get over. This time I didn't have enough time to hit the brakes. I hit the horn and swerved right, then had to get back into the middle lane due to a car in the right lane. Well he never heard the horn or saw me over there, because he kept coming over and hit the driver's side quarter as I was trying to avoid him. He proceeded to throw up his arms and act like he had no idea of what had happened. I went to the next exit, which was the one I needed, and got off and stopped at a gas station. I asked him if he saw me either of the times he was getting over on top of me and he only said "If you weren't in such a hurry, you wouldn't have caused this." I was a little confused. I said you cut me off getting into the left lane and then got over on top of me when I was in the middle lane. All he said was "Didn't you see my turn signal?" Since when does a turn signal mean that you can change lanes whenever? Columbus cop shows up and says that technically the accident happened in county jurisdiction and that she wouldn't cite either of us and she would have us out of there in 10 minutes. I said that was fine and he agreed. Then the officer asked what happened and I said that I had gotten into the middle lane and he came over when I was right next to him and that I tried to avoid him, but couldn't. The guy stood right next to me and never said a word. He didn't argue what happened at all. Kind of funny how his tune changed. The officer shook my hand after taking down all of the info and looked at the other guy and got back into the cruiser. I shook the guys hand and said "Hopefully you won't be too late to work, but I have to get to work now." Here I am stuck with a nice dent on the drivers quarter and most likely a bunch of calls from his insurance company trying to place blame on me. Can't wait. Good start to the day for me.
  6. I almost remember being 21. It's a little hazy. Kind of like what I keep seeing in the pictures. I'll just live vicariously through these pics for now. Something about a pregnant wife that keeps me out of trouble, but you guys keep tearing it up and posting the pics.
  7. Only thing I haven't done on my vehicles to this point would be the rebuild of the T-56 and the tune. After doing some transmission work on my 93 mustang and looking inside the T-56, I decided that I would leave that to someone with more experience. I would rather have it done right the first time in this instance. Working on cars, whether it's one of mine or a friend's car, keeps me out of trouble. I always have to find something to keep me busy or I lose my mind. Working on cars helps fill that void for now. I guess we'll see what happens in 5 months when I have a kid.
  8. The only reason I knew what kind of car was in the picture was from the wheel. That is no good. I just wish at 20 I could have afforded something like that.
  9. Or, how about the fact the he was drunk and that gets almost zero coverage? Just saying.
  10. I've got a dollar that says 450+
  11. Nevermind. I'm retarded. Dyno Brian beat me to it. Maybe next time I'll read the whole thread before posting.
  12. I hope that moron was drunk. If not, someone needs to crack him right in the head. How much of a bad ass is that guy? "He's fuckin scared" Really? Kids lucky he didn't get out with his gun drawn. Let's see, driving out in the middle of nowhere and some ass is following you. What would you do? Best part is the kid is talking shit about driving 90 mph being the "scariest shit ever" How much of that video is the guy driving in the middle of the road and swerving all over the place? Too bad he didn't lose it and tape that.
  13. If I do go solid, it will be an 8.8. I can make one plenty strong enough and it will bolt right in with no modifications. I've decided to run the IRS for now, but we'll see how long that lasts .
  14. How about an IRS with shitty halfshafts to worry about?

    wtb 4.10's

    Is this from your 5.0?
  16. They announced that they were doing test and tune tonight last week at the track.
  17. Seems a little off, but I guess anything is possible.
  18. The car moved out on the back half of the track. I just know what I saw and what my friend said it put down. My friend stops by Precision often because he lives in the area. He happened to see the car over there and that is how he knew about it. I don't care who you tell what, but when it's at the track it's hard to deny that it is putting down something impressive. I'm sure it runs much better at speed as well.
  19. Here is another attempt at curbing street racing http://www.nbc4i.com/cmh/news/local/article/New_Law_Would_Put_The_Brakes_on_Street_Racing/16146/ I guess it's not surprising that this has come about.
  20. I think we should make this a sticky. Anyone who needs that kind of work done, go to Driveline 1.
  21. The number I heard was well north of 475 and the trap speed on the last pass definitely made sense with the #'s. Not really my place to say on the numbers, but I think everyone here knows that it makes more than 475.
  22. That's funny. I heard it was on Precision's dyno and that is who was driving it at kilkare. Maybe I was misinformed.
  23. No one was supposed to see that until the front mount was hanging out! Delete it please!
  24. 33 and Hamilton. Can't miss it from 33.
