he he he here is a trivia question for the know it all's here. what are the scoops above the front tires? and bonus points if you know what dodge told nascar why they were there? keith and a few older members will know but lets see if the younger guys know. hint on the bonus ? dodge flat lied to nascar on there purpose(or should i say they s-t-r-e-c-h-d the truth)

what is the pet situation? im interested

i love it but one problem the intake does not have orange overspray from when factory painted the engine. this car probably seen a lot of its life at the race track. or the owner was anal about the overspray and removed it. but very sexy another TRUE muscle car. slicks+some timing=12's

i dont care for mopars but those are a rare and i give anyone props for a clean one. i would love to pilot one at a super speedway. i do love classic muscle cars

been there but what is weard is the clutch system has a preload or pressure on it unlike the brake system which is zero pressure when the brakes are released. but you may be right about the throw out bearing. the design may be different or it is worn out

clutch hydrolic(sp) systems are a real pain to bleed. normally you have to pump the shit and bleed repetidly before you get the air out of the system

i dont belive the th 350 is interchangeable with the 700r4. the drive shaft yokes are the same spline and will fit into the tranny, as far as the length i cant rember if the trannys are the same length. just measure the two and compare the two mesurements

will the gtu ftd slip fit in a first gen axle.

see the festiva thing is not a look thing its a sleeper thing i love a sleeper. plus this is a daily drivin car if it runs 12,s or it runs 14,s spinning the tires due to the wrong wheel drive it is still a street car that would shock people. besides the shock factor of being owned by a pos festiva. poke fun at my fastiva i have had it for 6 years im use to it. as far as a 1k awd dsm that is a rare deal if and when you find such a car they normaly are real ruff but they are out there see i have a open mind to cars which is why i have so damn many of them. 71 maverick ,67 cougar,71 galixie,69 impala,89 probe gt,91 festiva,86 gti,89 cabby,79f-2504x4,82 mustang gt,91 samuri,and three quads. with the exception of a few of these i have them because they are diffrent and not all that common. i agree with rane to a point normaly people are into the first car they read,owned,or learned about. i dont look down on anybodys car if there not a ricer tool ignorant prick. im into modding any thing if it can be made faster handle better or just look better game on

what i am saying about dsms is they are turds like the hondas with the exception of the turbo models compare a non turbo dsm to a non turbo honda or anything else and they are turds the proformance is so so. besides being a mechanic i hate to work on dsms and nissians pain in the ass and parts are expensivethere the dodge of imports to me. dont get me wrong there a many cool and quick dsms and nissans. but i am a little bias to them. no offence im not trying to look down on those cars here is one car that i totally forgot about. these cars are very cheap to make autocross cars and are pretty easy to make quick plus they are nearly bullitproof. i own 2 of these wonderfull cars all 84 and up volkswagons these cars are kick ass swap parts are everywere fairly light and are easy to work on to tell you all the truth im shocked that more people have not built a festiva there ugly but i have three in the family mine has the asspire suspension under it and this car is unbeliveable how it handles. (still a turd since i havent got off my ass to do the motor swap.) but these cars can be put on a diet to 1600lb and still have all the interior in them. now 1600 lb and put 150 to the ground and there is one little rocket al and all it dosent matter what a person buys as long as there not a tool any car is cool when it is modded not riced. i want to check out those geos some time since they are another overlooked car.

but my question is when did a 305 fbody become a preformance car those cars made 145 hp the h.o made 165hp and the tpi cars made 180 or 190. the cars are tanks crap rear ends and were as loose as a main st hooker. hell use the same combo in a s-10 or a 80's malibu and have a much faster ride plus half of the drivers that i see in these cars be it hondas camaros mustangs couldnt drive there way out of a paper sak. and there solution is to keep adding more parts and money when they need to spend more time at the track. take your car for instance you went 11.46 now let another person drive it and they would be lucky yo get your car to run a mid 12 and that is after they have hot laped it 5 or 6 times. but who know what people are thinking when they mod the hell out of something and its still a turd it seems the trend these days is all show and no go ( but tell a story about how fast it is or how fast it will be if i get traction,dont miss a gear,tranny wasnt slipping, a/r not right,etc etc)

why do most go the honda or dsm route for a quick driver when there are many other routes if people were to just do a little research. here is a quick cheap and easy to build car 88-93 ford festiva swap in a 1.6 from a 323 or a mercury capri,add a turbo with 12# of boost and you are looking at a concertive 160hp and a 1800 lb car before a diet. and for handling add 94= aspire struts springs and rear swing arm (which tripples the braking and handling)all this can be done for less than 2000.00 which leaves 1g for paint wheels and a system. other overlooked cars first gen ford probes gt/mx6 turbo(both cars capable of high 14s in stock form),92-96 escort gt (1.8 twin cam and use the same engine as the miata n/a are good for low 15s)92 and up toyota trecels (still looking for more swap info my nephew is playing with one)any of the dodge turbo cars ( dont really like them but there still cheap and remotely quick) first and second gen caviler z24 swap a 3.4 short block and a gm hot cam port the heads there is another cheap quick car i just get tired of hearing about hondas dsms i think there over priced and are like assholes everybody has one. i dont hate them i know there is a lot of fast ones and some really cool ones here in col. but there is other options if people just looked

ken you made my day with that last post i cant stop laughing. not at you directly but because its funny that grown men are scared by aliens but that is ok. ill tell you the first part that got me is when the alien stuck its hand under the door. i jumped damn near out of my seat. i say that we meet up and watch SIGNS again and face our fear that was a great movie though, and justice was served at the end. to see that louisville slugger go to work was flat out the shit. scared the hell out of me but was worth seeing

im glad some one else feels the same way. my girl makes fun of me when some one talks about that movie. when i watched it at home i couldnt sit still. the part when they were in the corn field and the dog freaked out i could feel the hair on my neck stand up. that movie was a real trip. ken i cant help but laugh out loud because words cant explain how it freaked me out to. i got over my fear of the dark when i was 4 and again when i was 28 messed me up for a while

have you tried napa tongue.gifgraemlins/thumb.gif
