The Crusades were a defensive campaign to drive invading Muslims from southern Europe, if I recall correctly.

I could be wrong, but 'Muslim hordes' did plenty of invading through the ages, and their religious viewpoint was "convert or kill".

Yes, many have died in the name of Christianity, but it's far from being the only one.

This sucks!

Hope it comes home soon, in good condition.

Foxbodys are kinda tail-happy with decent power, and the rain aggravated this, I'm sure.

Glad everyone's ok.

Like Derek said, check your shocks. Crappy shocks + uneven pavement + torque = filling your shorts with yesterday's lunch.

Looks solid! The 350 has decent torque, but a 425 or 455 would be a night-and-day difference in power.

My friend & I transplanted a 425 "Super Rocket" high-compression motor (out of a '65 Starfire) into his '69 Cutlass hardtop. Damn thing wouldn't hook up on street rubber...

Wow, this is new!

Hey, have you seen the "badger, badger, badger, badger, MUSHROOM MUSHROOM" flash yet?

Been a while, life's been crazy. Hope everyone has been alright, and their projects are done or are moving along well.

The Tempo is running, though with the old M62 setup. Putting the M90 on will require a custom rad and new intercooler, and that coin was already spoken for. Seems tight & solid, and throttle response is great.

One little 'bug', though. At anything more than 3/4 throttle (about 3, 3.5 psi) it 'chokes out' and loses power. Doesn't seem to be leaning out according to the A/F meter.

Only differences this year are the fresh motor, header, 2.5" exhaust with no cat & a turbo muffler, and EGR disconnected. I've also unplugged the IAC because the idle would surge from 900 to 1900 on a whim.

Should I try a check valve to isolate the MAP sensor from boost? This fucker feels strong (compared to last year), pulls decent even in 5th. Can't wait to get it running right, strengthen the motor mounts, and get it to the track.

After I get a few runs in, a bigger crank pulley is going on. I know I can get more pressure out of this blower, but first I want to see how much difference the header, cam, and short-ratio trans is going to make.

 

Probably no need for a gun, but if someone were to make him shit himself I wouldnt be mad. The way I feel is if you are man enough to pick on a kid.... then you are man enough to get your ass beat!

Mother. Fucking. Werd.

holy fuck i just had to take some oxycontin to keep looking at that....there are so many things wrong with this, where do i start.

 

 

I think its clear that whoever is selling this thing does not have a solid grasp on the English language. No native speaker could make that many disastrous spelling errors and expect to be taken seriously as a seller.

 

That car looks like it was assembled by a trained autistic chimpanzee with an instruction manual from Lego's, bondo'd by someone who clearly believes quantity trumps quality, and interior made by a Parkinson's sufferer on PCP.

 

Also, does anyone else look at the gauges in Images 4 and see only the right turn signal light? I don't see the left one?

I lol, as beer spews from my nose...

Good one!

Thats my old supra....

 

It is set up for drag racing. The car is very clean. The body and paint are in better shape then any other supra you will find.

Who are you on CGP?

And yourself?

Glad nobody got hurt, good luck getting 'er fixed.

I've done some supid shit too, but I've lucked out! Try 112 mph on a snow-covered autobahn. Went almost 300 miles like that, the rented Bimmer was actually pretty solid on the white stuff. Passed a couple nasty wrecks, but kept cruising, 3 young, indestructible soldiers with not a care.

If only our Interstates were half as good as those autobahns...

Forget a car or pickup rearend; He'd better go to something out of a Mack or a Pete. A bigass Rockwell or Eaton should do it.

Disregard the Mack; toploader Rockwells bring the Center-of-gravity up too much.

Funny thing is, many Conspiracy nuts will accuse Bush of masterminding 9/11, then in the next breath refer to him as a 'moron'.

Who is the moron? The guy making ridiculous and unfounded claims on a blog, posting from his mom's basement in Omaha, or the man holding the world's most powerful office?

21 complaints? How many of them had ghetto-rigged amplifier wiring? j/k

I know at least one ClubGP member had his go up in flames. Wish they had the cause narrowed down, give me something to go on.

Maybe I should decrease the deductible on my '01...

I got a bunch of it, but I'm not an 8th grader. The top section was the hardest, and I didn't remember the entire preamble.

I could sing it all right now!

Too bad we spend too much time on "self esteem" issues, cultural indoctrination and other assorted bullshit and not enough learning about our own country/history (and math & science)and how it is supposed to be run - by the people!

A recent study showed american kids had a high view of themselves - but no knowledge to back it up, several asian countries' kids didn't have that high of an opinion of themselves, but kicked ass on math and science.

Hmmmm, domestic automakers hovering in and out of banktuptcy, asian auto manufacturers seemingly not having problems.... coincidence???

Good post/thread!

Cool!

The rear cushion? The tape holding it in is the key.

Got everything but the diagram in under 15...no hints.

Dammit, I've clicked on everything I can see...

The Cavy looks, predictably, hideous.

The Bimmer looks good, but that air dam seems out of place. Did it come off of an M?
