  1. There use to be a free church donation place near Central Ave and Lake Street intersection in Delaware. I don't recall the name of it, but it was a free donation organization to help support those who are less fortunate or cant afford to buy their own.
  2. Eric all you have to do is ask man. Im sure we could meet up to get it welded if you wanted to try it. Personally, I would start soaking the shit out of it with PB blast, and try tapping a large torx bit into it. I have a set that is 1/2 inch drive that you can pick up at harbor freight for like $20. Push comes to shove it will snap off at the head anyway so then you could drill and tap a new one into place.
  3. In for what you find is cheapest. I am in a similar boat. Will be due for an update towards the end of the year (Galaxy s7+) right now. If its only like $50 then I will keep what I got, but if it is over $100 I would be better to just pay off what I owe early and upgrade.
  4. So sad to see all these "fast" cars nowadays being driven by middle aged women who don't even think about going fast but want a sporty car to drive the kids to soccer in. Cant tell you the number of G8's, mustang GT's, Camaro's, etc that have no desire to play at all when side by side. So Moment of opportunity racing doesn't happen near as often as it use to either. I remember those nights quite well JP up in the C-Land. Meeting up in the Valley, or over off of 91/20. I too miss those random cruises to the stadium and back.
  5. Yea, this is Dyno Brian's recommended starting point. Since he's gonna be tuning it. :D

     

    Right, it is a safe place to start. Brian is a wiz with the ol' 5.0L lol. He use to tune my cousins 86 gt. We had it set up with a 347 stroker, novi 2000 supercharger, and a shit ton of nitrous :lol:

  6. Really is. Could always get a set of these... :D

     

    Those are neat too lol. I would be worried they would get brittle over time though.

     

    She is definitely becoming more race car lol. If memory serves me correctly, mine use to have a sweet spot around 13-14 degrees timing for what it's worth.

  7. Start with trying to tap a lager allen wrench into it. I recommend using a torx head instead as the grooves between teeth will allow more of a "bite" if that doesn't work, then its time to bust out the welder. There is an old school trick to take a small bolt that fits into the hole where the allen wrench would go and weld that in. As soon as you finish welding it into place try breaking it loose. the new bolt will allow you to get a regular 6 sided socket on there, and the welding will heat up the bold directly so it should break loose as soon as you do that. Make sure to clean the gear as much as you can and wrap/cover it with tape so the weld spatter doesnt get on any machined surfaces or the teeth of the gear.
  8. It actually turned out to be something completely different. The center hole of the rotor was just a tiny bit too small so the rotor wasn't fitting properly on the hub, which would induce a wobble. Also the wheel is slightly bent / out of balance so there were a few contributing factors.

     

    Unfortunately on a car that's literally had everything replaced from bumper to bumper there are often times these sorts of issues. All part of the fun! :)

     

    I stand corrected lol

    I'm glad you guys figured it out just the same. So does he have to replace the wheel now or is it repairable?

  9. what was the issue with the Chevelle?

     

    I drove through with the wife's Audi around 7:00, and the meet looked like it was in full swing and a lot of fun. I had my 6year old in tow and realized it probably wasn't the best place to be chasing a kid around so went home. Glad everyone had fun.

     

    The Chevelle only had 8 miles on it since it was put together, and the rear wheel had a wobble to it. Turned out it was just the wrong studs and lug nuts for the style of wheel that was on it. Easy fix, just glad they caught it before a full high-speed pass was done.
