  1. Good point. Look at it this way, I am sure it is badass and great to ride, you hardly see the front end while you are riding.
  2. Ok, maybe I am not supposed to be on the Official List since I am still a Riceboy???
  3. I am not offended, but mine is the second slowest in my stable. '04 Vette
  4. Look the auto industry is down-sizing, restructuring...So here is what happened. They fired the design team in the middle of the front end, and brought the guys who designed the late 70's BMW cars in at half the salary.
  5. Nice, must be an F-Body thing. My Mustang didn't seem to impress her enough....Damn I knew I should have kept the Camaro..
  6. Thanks again for the info Rob. I will have to stop by the shop sometime soon, as this car needs some help. I could do it, but damn if the bosses don't make me work too much!
  7. I got a 5, she is needy. Ok I wont lie the first time was a 1.
  8. Yeah good luck with the mods, I have a friend who has a MazdaSpeed Miata, she put a cat-back on it, took it there for an A/C problem. There was a big deal made about the exhaust and they tried to void her warranty. Sometimes it just depends on the advisor you get.
  9. All so true, and it is very hard to climb a a tree while blowing a guys head off on Gran Theft Auto.
  10. That is considering your office will do anything about it. I lived in a complex that gave no shit about anything like that, they only cared about your rent payment. Good luck though. I work at my shop late alot of nights, and Franklin County always stops, checks my ID. Ok didn't you guys check it already, last night? Point of that is maybe move to a Franklin County Jurisdiction. Maybe call immigration?
  11. Good looking bike, and no I will not say anything about someone's wife I have never met.
  12. Yeah unfortunately, those of us that work for a living become victims of those that do not. I just quit leaving things in my car...i.e. seats, windows,speakers, sound deadening material. Takes a hell of alot of time to bolt the stuff back in to go to work in the morning.
  13. I would probably buy it, but then again I keep buying Jeeps...Come on guys I like keeping the repair shops in business....I am a one man Stimulus Package
  14. Alright, which one of you guys beat me to it?
  15. I really like the cars. We have had a couple where I work, and they have been great to drive. Although I cannot speak for depandability.
  16. Yes I think I will ask about the TT package, just as soon as I punch Donald Trump in the face and steal his money. Thanks for all the advice guys. Then again the car is paid for so I could borrow on it??? No that was the dumbest thing I have ever said....well close to it.
  17. Yeah I would have to go along with the above statement!
  18. Yeah I figured 42lbs would be the least. I have no clue what these guys were thinking, then again who doesn't love a good project. Hell the thing might have a chip in it, but I doubt it. Thanks for your help guys.
  19. OK so I bought a car that someone screwed up, I saw screwed up because well I have built and screwed up enough of my own to know what a mess looks like. I have cleaned up most of the errors, but am still having some issues. Car is a Fox GT, engine 306, ported polished E7 heads, ported polished lower intake matched to the heads. Powerdyne BD11A supercharger with 10lb pulley, MSD6AL with MSD Boost Timing Master, Ford Racing computer for mass air conversion, 24lb injectors. Car runs great and has great drivability, however at the top of third and fourth terrible detonation. I backed the timing off, and added the BTM and did not seem to help much. The car has no FMU. I know what I need to do, but am looking for maybe some help with an immediate fix. I know the car is not getting enough fuel, I am going to step it up to 42lb injectors(increasing boost over the next few months) This winter I am going to install Trick Flow heads, and an intake, along with a different cam. The winter project is the reason I am avoiding having it tuned. I would rather have it tuned when I am done than to spend the money twice. I do not believe the car has been tuned, however I have not verified that yet. Just looking for some advice.
  20. I recently sold an '05 to a friend of mine, he had similar issues. He never had a problem, but his wife always did. She could get it to start, drive it, shut it off and it wouldn't start back up. Funny thing, when someone would show up to jump it, it would start. The ignition switch in those damn things are sensitive. Sometimes on my '07 I hit the key wrong and it gets confused like a middleschool kid with a naked supermodel. Might have an issue with the switch, my buddies turned out to be a key problem. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
  21. Thanks again for the info, I guess I will be looking for some SN95 parts. I will just have to figure out if my struts will work. Thanks again
  22. OK what I am looking for is a cost effective setup. I have no problem with upgrading to 94-95 spindles. I know that means going 5 lug, but that looks like the way I will have to go. Sorry, like I said I know Baer is good, but 1300-1700 for front brakes? Seriously? I had not thought about the 94-95 option, anything else I would need to change aside from the brake parts. My car has Koni adjustables on it, and I know the spindles in the shock mount area are a different thickness than the 87-93. Thanks for your help Rob
