The Other Nick

Looks like my tranny should be done tonight. If so its a mad dash to get it back in and ready to go by Friday morning.

I have a set at home. One side I know I broke a manifold bolt in but the other is good if I remember right. When I get home I'll look.

rematch?

 

Yes I say so.

Not sure if my transmission will be done for the mustang in time. If not I'm going to have to race the ranger just to see what it runs. Lol.

I've always had a soft spot for rotaries. That sound is just amazing.

In and paid.

I'm just hoping to have the car in running order by then. I'm front fenders a converter and some nitrous solenoids away.

23 was a nightmare on my way home this morning. 35 was pushing it. Proceded to change lanes and ended up in a formula drift battle by myself.

Worth the read.

Don't really want to use it.

I'll give them a call. Already have a carb the right cfm just want to have it reworked for blow thru.

I'm looking to see if anybody knows of local places that can build a blow thru carb. I haven't had any luck finding anyone within the state.

I would love to do a ride along with one of these guys. Talk about a rush.

Welcome to CR. Very nice car hope to see it at some of the track days this year.

It had the 7 quart pan on it and hit everything. He bought the car now we're just going through trying to fix the previous owners screw ups. thanks for the help guys it's mich appreciated.

It's in Sunbury. I'll ask him and see what he says.

Yea the car has all stock suspension k member all that stuff. It has a 440 in it. The back of the pan keeps rubbing the rack. It was that way when he bought it. We're just at a loss for what pan to get.

I'm working on a 73 challenger but having issues with oil pan clearance. The steering rack keeps rubbing and we can't seem to find a pan that will clear. Any input will help thanks.

I'm in

Glad she was ok. My dad is the one who towed the car he was telling me how bad he felt because she was so upset about the car.

Looking for a set of stock 6.0 heads for a friend of mine. Let me know what anyone has.

just do it with the mustang. Come around every turn buried in the throttle sideways and smiling.

 

wife and I's entry car into auto-x was an E30 325i bmw (a 1991 convertible 5speed). It was a great car stock because it was very neutral handling and not super fast but not slow.

 

I think in the auto-x beater for under $3K category these are the cars I would look for if just starting out:

- E30 BMW

- E36 bmw

- Porsche 924/944

- MR2

- Miata

- honda civic/acura integra/CRX/Del Sol

- fox mustang

- Slick roof 3rd gen camaro/firebird.

- C3 & C4 corvette

 

All of these are cars with solid aftermarkets that sell handling pieces, most can be easily had for under $3K and some for under $1500, all have potential to grow with your driving ability, and all have been road raced competitively for years and have a huge knowledge base to leverage off of.

 

I was going to suggest your daily driver, but I see that it is a ford ranger, so unless it is lowered probably best not to use that. What does your significant other drive? maybe you can borrow that for a day?

 

debated on putting the stock wheels on it and trying it. its sbc powered with a th350 tranny with all the goodies to go in a straight line suspension wise so it would have more body rolls than kirstie alley.

It's just for the Lolz. Something I can take out and just have fun and use as a gas getter if I want. It will be a commuter to work the 2 days I drive back and forth to marion just so I don't put any more miles on my truck.

If you still have your motorcycle helmet I would wear that.

After going to the autocross last weekend down at Columbus Motor Speedway i am hooked on wanting to try my hand at doing it. That being said i know the miata is a cheap platform and usually does very well. I wanted to know some of the things to look for on one that i need to stay away from. Common issues stuff along those lines. i have found a few on the old craigslist for 2k or less. Any advice would be much appreciated.
