Popular Post Overclocker Posted June 4, 2009 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) I've been in C'bus since the fall of '90 when I started college at Capital. I work as a network/server geek now. Has nothing to do with what I did on college, but that's how things work out sometimes. I went to OSU for a few years and got a private pilot license that I don't use either, but it was fun. Anyhoo, I heard about CR at the Gearhead Gathering a few weeks ago. I enjoy pretty much any motor vehicle in air or the road no matter the manufacturer as long as the execution is well done. Heck, a gnarly well-built lawnmower engine has it's merits in my world. Personally, I like to drive somewhat uncommon stuff. If that stuff can manage to get out of it's own way, all the better. I also enjoy doing nearly all my own wrenching. As long as I have the proper diagnostic equipment and tools, I do my own work. It's an extension of the tinkering I do at work but on different hardware, so it comes naturally. <shrug> http://faculty.otterbein.edu/tpindell/truck/srt10/herd2_smaller.jpg I have a soft spot for hot hatchbacks and the rediculous. Right now, my fun vehicles include a 1986 Omni GLH-T and a '04 Ram SRT-10. I've done a few things to the Omni, but the Ram is all factory except the old-school Rat Fink antenna topper. I hope that doesn't void the warranty... Edited June 4, 2009 by Overclocker resized pic 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Is 1024x768 still too big? I squeezed 'em down from the original 1600x1200... Thanks, man... Generally I wouldn't link pics bigger than 800x600 (and usually do 640x480 or so) unless they were to show off a hi-res shot or something. For two reasons: 1. For bandwidth reasons. 2. So people on smaller screens and notebooks don't have to scroll back and forth to read a post. Though its definitely better than before. +rep for the engine shot. X2, thats hot.

Overclocker Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 how often do you go threw tires on that truck lol Still on the original Pirellis! Some guys really thrash theirs. I drive it like a grandpa...most of the time. I badly need to find a set of shoes for the Omni. They've started to break down quickly in the last year or so. I think it's still got old cracked dry rubber dating back to the Reagan administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overclocker Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Nice to see something different. A Ram SRT10 is different Welcome aboard, have any plans for it yet? No specific plans yet. I've only had it a few years. The T-56 feels like I'm stirring a box of rocks sometimes, but I'm not sure what I can do about that. A 2/4 drop might look nice. The exhaust note could be a bit more pronounced. There was a -10 at the Mopar Nationals last year with a Billy Boat exhaust and headers on his -10 and...just...wow. But that's in the "More than you can afford, pal." category. Right now, I'm OK with it being that weird red truck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I'm OK with it being that weird red truck. Try swapping over to sythetic tranny fluid, could help out a bit. BB exhaust does sound pretty sick, I think corsa should've built one for the SRT10 Ram's, but never did. I like a sport truck you can row your own gears with.
