This upcoming saturday, D day for the cougar. Lapping day at mid-ohio, first with TKo 5 speed and 13" brakes. 4 weeks ago: Take cougar to shop for tranny swap, brake swap, and wheel bearings. Shop gets zoned out of town, forced to move. 2 weeks ago: take cougar to Lasota for tanny swap 10 days ago: retreive car with new tranny, exhaust now wont fit. 9 days ago: 4hrs making new exhaust 8days ago: 3 hours rewiring battery and installing box 7 days ago: install electric fan and wiring 6 days ago: finaly get wiring right. 5 days ago: F1 4 days ago: Up late installing new knuckle and wheel bearing assemblies 3 days ago, brand new wheel bearings ruined, insufficient torque on retaining nut 2 days ago: fix one bearing. Wreck beloved benzo, I have no alternate track car. Last night: fix other bearing Today: brake swap, pack the car, and clean it up a bit.....but no Today on the way to work, the car sputters and dies. I see the gas gauge, not quite empty, but close. An hour of walking later, I get gas in it and drive it 200yds to work. Lunch break, depart for gas station, car sputters and dies after a mile. Run 3/4 mile to gas station, run back with 3 gal of fuel. Car still wont start, looks like fuel pump. Run mile back to work to avoid being late. Seriously my woman and my kid are the only things keeping me from totaly going off the deep end right now. For two weeks I've been eating only one meal a day for the sake devoting the rest of my time to that fucking car, AND IT DIES THE FUCKING DAY BEFORE THE EVENT! I'm out of cars for life, I swear to god, some one come buy these things, I'm going to start riding my bike everywhere.

thats what I get for running with scissors.

I'd be down for those wheels if I wasn't strapped. If they dont sell, I'll buy them this winter.

i did, last week.

not on an MN12

The hell? Pics? Hope everyhting turns out ok man.

da fuzz?

light front impact. I need a bit of the support pulled out to where it belongs. anyone?

Here we see the ignition sequence: http://www.druidlabs.com/albums/id2003party/WillLightingFirework.jpg

the bridge was loud, but only for a second or two at a time, they haul through at 150+ into the breaking zone ont he other side

Is that yours, or just 'an' Alfetta turbo? It looks almost like a model.

She looks like hell John, way to hit that. Should have told Scott that you worked with the DEA, see how freindly he was after that.

We need to see your car. Great race, even got some shots from the bridge: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/5914/bridge6xx.jpg

Rears, possibly fronts. Its an IRS car, so I can take out the knuckles and deliver them. I have no bearings though. Can anyone here do it? I'm trying to avoid the dealership. I'm hurting bad for time, it's making almost physicaly ill how fucked I am.

I've got a power inverter and a camera to run off it...but no cigarett lighter to plu it into. Its a race car, andI dont smoke. But my Camera battery is shot and I need some power for it. What can I tap into to get the inverter the right juice? Just the battery? The unverter plug: which is power and which is ground, the tip or the sides? Holla!

On a larger scale then I can, anyways. I want a clone of my hood, possibly my deck lid. Just want it lighter, and I dont want it to rust when I cut holes in it.

When its not a danger to myself and others. Needs wheel bearings, the rear wheel bearing have reached a "Trophy level" of wear and deflection. Should be tonight. http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/7826/window0za.jpg
