  1. Just cant believe this sweaty inbred fuck is still in here.

     

    You obviously have not met him. What compels you to fight the proven fact that people now think you are a douche? Getting mad at people over then internet about something they pointed out about you is not going to fix anything.

  2. What year?

     

    Any year. You're the one considering spending 4 grand on one of the worst mustangs ever. My mustang when I was 18 with liability and comprehensive listed as a leisure vehicle was $26 a month. My 96 z28 was $23 a month, and my 98 z28 is $130 a month full coverage. If you ever think of buying a v6 version for gas economy, you should be shot. The v6 cars are slow and have terrible economy in comparison with the v8 cars with more power. My ls1 gets 28 mpg highway and 17-22 in the city mixed driving, of course you hammer down and the gauge will drop at a decent rate.

  3. Y'all talk a good game but like ur butt budd said he showed up at 7:52 fucking idiot. Was supposed to be at 7. But I guess his power ranger watch wasn't working right! Yea do that crowd around me this friday. I got something for ya :)

     

    What you failed to realise is he only traveled across town because people were actually going to be there (Doc and Major, obviously). Where as anybody and I'm sure Gary is included, knew you would not be there at 7.

  4. i guess 1/2 this site was scared to run a V6 on spray.

     

    False, you're the kind of douche-bag to talk shit, get your shit tossed, and never pay up.

     

    Thats the truth. Famous words up there "Ill race you off spray". Tell ya what get in my trunk i got some powder for that pussy of ours!

     

     

    You sure do you have a big mouth for such a slow car.

  5. When it goes away, clutch in or out in neutral?

     

    Regardless, if you take it out of gear then it wont be the engine( well depending on rpm) or the drive shaft, as they are still spinning. Most likely to be an actual transmission problem or transmission mount problem.

     

    Back to the Engine part. Does it do this in any other gear? Try using the brakes to load the engine like it would be in 5th or 6th. Is there any vibration at any point in the rpm range in any other gear, or even with out load on the motor?

  6. Because half of those you would check before purchasing. Give me a fucking kitkat bar bitch. Fluid levels, really? Missing or loose bolts under the car? Go to hell.

     

    Right, You should not even need half that list of reasons to walk away. You and your pal are just mad that he bought a piece of shit.

  7. Sorry guys. I had way to much to do to the laser than to waste time taking pictures today. But i got the trans swapped. Everything put pack into place. Ready for the final cleanup and fix the rest of the issues with the car. Here is a list of what was wrong with it, that ive seen so far.

     

    : Gearbox not anywhere close to being tighten down

    : Cracked bellhousing

    : Starter plate is all fucked up, cracked and bent up.

    : Front of block cracked where gearbox bolts to block. Leads to next prob.

    : Welded a bracket from the front motor mount to the lower front gearbox bolt- was broken when i went to work on car

    : Missing nut on rear motor mount

    : Loose halfshaft bolt where it bolts to back of block

    : Fluid in tranny was disgusting grey with metal in it

    : Transerbox didnt have a full amount of gear oil, maybe have of what its suppose to be

    : Valve cover leaks oil....a lot.

    : Hacked wiring at the thermostat, someone broke the temp sensor plug, replaced it with spade terminals

    : Both lower balljoints are bad

    : Struts need replaced all around

    : has a minor coolant leak at the oil filter housing, should just be the hose

    : Burns either oil or has an exhaust leak at the turbo, yet to figure out which one it is since ive been dealing with other issues

    : Wiring under dash that leads to a on/off switch and a 3 cigarette lighter plug, 3 wires leading into the engine bay that are just laying there?? Dunno about that yet.

    : From what joe has told me, the Ebrake doesnt work. Will investigate tomorrow

     

     

    All i can think of right now. Car was not worth 3500 or whatever he paid.

     

    Yeah, the only thing I have seen in this thread is that the guy who bought this car is an idiot. To buy something and not look thoroughly inspect it is on the buyers part. I see that the seller has said it was in better shape, but if the buyer would have just looked it over he probably would have walked away. Nobody to blame but himself.

  8. Lots of warnings now...

     

    Nice to have the office right under a blairing siren.. there is goes again. hope its wrong

     

    It's going to be 'south' of here, according to Ganahl. I've seen him be wrong before. Besides, he's using shades of pink and purple to mark the watches/warnings.

  9. Did it break just then, it almost sounded ok right at first? IDK i've never heard a broken rod before....

     

    BAH this is Crossle

     

    Sounds like it just happened, almost like he was trying to get a vid of a rod knock and it snapped, plus that is a lot of oil to drain if it was already broken.

  10.

    i hate when fucking people park in the isles and i have to try and cram my truck through the lot looking for a spot because some jackass parks in the middle of the fucking lane

     

    +10000000

     

    I guess I'm lucky I show for 8 am classes. As a first year student, I have no idea how bad it was in the past. I am sure of however that the 4,300 extra students don't help.

  11. What are you doing with your Cars for Clunkers turn in cars. Are they going to junkyards or do they just get scraped. Reason I as I would like to get a hold of a Cherokees since they seem to be a common vehicle to turn in for the C4C program.

     

    The only thing that legally has to be demolished is the engine. Everything else can either be scrapped or sold to a junkyard. We had a Cherokee taken in on the C4C last week.

     

    I know that our orders for them is to drain the oil and fill it up with 2 qts of liquid glass, start 'er up and enjoy the show. I'm thinking verse is correct, i believe our actions are only to make it worthless, hard, or expensive to salvage it for sale. Most of these cars, you'll never know if any certain part was missing at the time it was turned in.

     

    they all must be crushed. they are not aloud to sell anything off of them.

     

    on the other side, I've heard this too. I haven't looked into facts, cause we havent started killing them yet

  12. Have a grudge? want to stop bench racing? Don't want to go to the track?

     

    I was reading thru the metro/state section of yesterdays dispatch, and there is an article that talks about raising funds for an airport, in the form of dragging down the runway.

     

    Where: Vinton County airport

    When: June 28th

    Cost: $10 per car/race

    $5 for final race

     

    Im sure if there isnt a huge crowd you'll run several times.

    NEW PLYMOUTH, Ohio -- If pilot Nick Rupert was unsettled by the black cat crisscrossing the sidewalk leading from the control tower to Vinton County Airport's lone runway, he didn't betray it.

     

    The feline is just another homeless waif fed daily by airport volunteer and pilot Tom Wilkinson, who won his license to fly the same year Harry Truman won the White House.

     

    "Tom sleeps in Nelsonville," Rupert said, "but he lives at the airport. He arrives every morning and cooks three eggs and bacon. He eats the eggs and feeds the bacon to the dogs next door. Then he climbs in his plane and flies somewhere for a cup of coffee."

     

    Wilkinson will be directing traffic on June 28, when the airport opens its runway to grudge matches for gearheads whose $10 fees to drag race will help keep the grass mowed and the runway lights on in New Plymouth.

     

    "You can go out on the highway and do it completely illegal," said Rupert, "or you can do it down here in a controlled setting."

     

    In the teen novels of my baby-boomer boyhood, hot-rodders and their heartthrobs commonly used airstrips -- sometimes even legally -- to settle deuce-coupe disputes over bragging rights.

     

    Rupert merely wants to settle the utility bill.

     

    "Our electric bill is $189 a month," he said. The mowing of the portion of 106 acres that are not runway costs "a fortune," he added.

     

    The last time the airport volunteers allowed drag racing to raise money, the cars in the first heat alone ponied up $800. Those racers who make it to the afternoon finals following the heat will pay only $5 for their final race.

     

    The east-west runway at the county airport is, rather curiously, four stories higher at its western terminus than it is at its east end. The roller coaster rises where the sun sets.

     

    But, Rupert said of himself and his Vinton County flying buddies, "We're all redneck pilots. We're used to landing on the sides of mountains."

     

    The airstrip, a few miles north of McArthur, was the brainchild of a man whose name is yet invoked in reverent whispers in Vinton County.

     

    "James A. Rhodes," Rupert said, "a good Republican if ever there was one, decided that every county in Ohio should have a paved runway."

     

    The governor never hinted that benefactors of his poured concrete would be on their own to maintain the airstrips ad infinitum once the groundhogs were delivering Jim Rhodes' mail.

     

    But Vinton County does proud by the gift.

     

    Locals are even holding a mini tractor pull pitting souped-up riding mowers against weight sledges.

     

    "They have a kids' class and an old farts' class," Rupert said, noting of the competing vehicles, "You ain't mowin' the lawn with these bad boys."

     

    If you are a motor-head who loves to race and willing to yield to incoming planes, call 740-357-0268 for more details on the noon flag drop to keep flying alive. Otherwise, timid drivers might want to consider staying the hell out of Dodge on the 28th.
