WWD JUNK

Who would be interested in a say 60 car maximum, street car race at NRP or the like, with say a $2500 purse with $1500 to the winner. Rules will be loosely based on NMCA True Street rules with a few exceptions in terms of eliminations, and body rules. No clocks, or timeslips, just turn on the win light. Entry fee would be around $100. Any takers?

This video below showcases the ride that belongs to THE AMC BOYS. He is the skinny guy in the ballcap fiddling with the hood on the Hornet. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/b752cd09-83c9-473c-9f17-9845004b7162.htm

THE AMC BOYS

......or perhaps he's hitting a little too close to home? :asshole:

Sorry to threadjack, but I have a '97 SL1 SOHC/5spd beater that I've had for a little over a year now. It is about to turn 200k miles. I'm amazed at how solid everything about the car feels. Were there any issues with the SOHC motor other than the above mentioned hg issue, or anything else to look out for? I intend to keep this thing until it dies. Like I said though, mine has been unbelievably reliable. I beat the hell out of it every chance I get, no lift shifting and all. If you can get this one for a good price I'd say go for it.

I hope you have a lot of cash saved up.

I had about 6" here, it hits harder in different places depending on which direction the wind is blowing in off of the lake. 4-8" more overnight tonight is the rumor.

I haven't seen any more snow since about 1:00 this afternoon, I'm a little dissapointed.

I know what's wrong with your truck. Check your PM's.

Dude, I'm really sorry about that. I was wasted yesterday.

Why don't you scrap those plans, and add some spray to THIS!

That damn show needs to be picked back up here in the states.

Check out this car, and make the kid an offer. I'm sick of him bumping the damn thread, and linking to it in any post where someone is looking for a car. http://thelotspot.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2343&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

How about the photochopped timeslip scandal?

That's an L98.

That's seriously the best way to remove the valves on a 4g63. Make sure the head is on a soft surface, ie. a pillow, and dip a deep well socket in some grease. Then insert an extension into the socket, place it on the retainer and smack it with a hammer. For re-installation, I use a modified C-clamp, of the large variety with a O2 sensor socket welded onto the end.

I didn't have any strange noises, or ill driving manners when the pin from my front diff cracked the case on the wwd.

If a new hydraulic tensioner was installed, was it tensioned properly?

Are you using a timing light? The timing advance is set by grounding the ECU via a plug on the firewall, and then adjusting the CAS accordingly. This is of course provided the timing marks on the cam gears line up - - - -, and with the dowels up the crank is at TDC.

I am not going to be able to run. The Laser is awaiting some tranny refinements, nitrous and ignition upgrades. I'm also pretty busy working on the twin engined, AWD, 8 second capable Colt. I know I would have been the fastest in the 14 second bracket.

Did I compare it to the evo or claim how much power it made? It has an assembly error, and or an oiling problem if it's going to keep doing this. Nothing more, nothing less. Detonation is going to melt pistons long before it is going to pound rod bearings into oblivion. Pre-ignition on the other hand......well that would most likely be caused by the map in the ecu, or the way the timing was set-up. That would be violent enough to maul the bearings, but at the pump gas boost level, there's nothing that the operator did wrong. For the record, I just met the kid for the first time on friday so I have no reason to defend him, other than the fact that he wouldn't know how to turn the boost up even if someone showed him.

Turned the boost up on what? If you mean the STI, it was at a whopping 15psi on the pump gas that it was t00ned for. Nothing out of whack with the tune, and the fact that the heap has destroyed itself how many times now, leads me to believe that someone can't assemble a motor, or that Subaru's are inherantly weak garbage. As much as I'd love to believe that latter, I can't.
