    nice car, well built. Welcome to the site +Rep You ever take it to the track?
  3. about 160 miles from westerville
  4. Glad to see the car making some good runs. Did the clutch come back after you let it sit for a little while and cool?

    ^^TRUE TRUE. I'm going over to Rob's to work on the FD today if you want to swing by and hang out. Just gimmie a call. I'm heading over there about 10:30-ish

    I'm guessing the rain and lack of commitment is killing it this weekend. I'm out of town next weekend, but would be interested in doing it the weekend after.
  7. If I'm remembering correctly...On cable-type clutch cars the quadrant is what determines the ratio of pedal movement/position to the actual amount of pull the cable exerts on the fork/throwout bearing. If you change the shape/ramp of the quadrant it will change how fast/far the cable pulls in relation to you pushing on the pedal. Since you likely have all cars with hydraulic clutches, I wouldn't worry about it.
  8. it means it was orignally a NA supra that he put a turbo on
  9. yeah, i suppose I just don't get out enough anymore. Last thing like that i remember being popular was the Hella-x stickers
  10. Carl, you considering going up on the 20th or 27th? I'd definitely be interested in a ride-along in your car if you don't mind. Have you had it up there since going single?

    so...eh....anybody down for 9am Saturday? Right now we have suggestions of CSCC bookstore downtown where Ben works, or some place up at Crosswoods (23/270) cause Erik is lazy Hell, if we're going to be lazy about it, how about we do someplace on the east-ish side since I'm going to Reynoldsburg to work on my car afterward.
  12. Andrew, I like a lot about the car, even the old school oil cooler mounting. LOVE the bigger panasport reps. About the only thing I can't really get behind is the "I'M KILLING IT" sticker across the middle of the windshield. Was that something you did only for HIN? Am I just too old and missing the punchline there? edit: Buck, nicely played. I'm laughing my ass off
  13. almost? Come on Bob! It was hard as hell to find those pants (especially in a nice size that didn't fit like that). I had to custom make the shirt and if you look closely at the bottom of the picture I even had the blood stain. I suppose I should have worn a curly hair wig, but you can only scrifice so much. Craig, thanks again. I laughed my ass off at the Robert Downey picture thrown in there, but I think I like the picture from the range the best.

    I'm down for Saturday morning. I'm going to work on the FD at Rob's Saturday to get it ready for Nelson. I'd be fine with going down to Ben's work as well, whatever works.

    I think this will require more than one person to head it up. People will just have to determine which week they can handle, scope a spot, and send out the word I suppose.
  17. well....seeing as you have to drive there and back, that should probably limit your ability to go.
  18. Very cool stuff Craig. Got any old pictures from the events? I used to have a page saved that had a bunch of photos of the Nelson 24hr races, but can't seem to find it right now.

    Bad experience

    Ben you made my day!!!! I didn't realize they had moved the blog. Oh how I've missed reading the true stories on there. Mark, I'm glad to hear you had a good experience with Northwest. They've always been a straight forward dealer. They weren't always the cheapest (which is why Ask even exists), but they were always honest. One of the very few contacts I keep in the industry works there.
  20. stop using Armor All on your interior and you'll be a lot happier
  21. I've stopped receiving subscribed thread email updates recently and I'm having a little trouble figuring out why. I checked my profile and it is still set to instant email notification. I checked my email settings and I still have cr_admin@columbusracing.com listed on my "Do not block" list. I'm not seeing any of the messages show up in my junk mail folder, do I need to add a different address to the list?
  22. You are correct that it's the new fad. I cringe every time I hear someone say "murdered out" To tell you the truth, I had zero intention of buying black centered wheels. I was going to get silver and then powder-coat them gold (still considering this, especially as more people go black). However I found a good deal on my wheels/tires barely used so I went for it with the intention of painting them right away. Once on the car though I was surprised at how well they went with the black trim on the car and they seem to suit the car well. So I've become comfortable and let them stay.
  23. did anyone else do a quick conversion on that weight?! 22 Stone = 308lbs that dog reminds me of "The Beast" from the movie "The Sandlot"
  24. sucks that Speed GT is the last thing on Sunday, but at least the crowd will filter out by then, so hopefully it'll be easy to get out.
  25. I think my sister has a windstar with a blown motor.....you know you want to be rocking the minivan action.
