 both these guys  have past,    

its inevitable for us all,   and seems to happen all to soon, 

none of us are invincible,  ( I'm doing the cancer  fun right now) but  am very optimistic,

 had to make a smart a$$ remark here, I know its an old post,
but my wife was asking about Be4U  (Robert)

asked where that little "pecker head" was at?


I said I hadn't  talked to him since  he reached puberty.

IHADAV8 Playground / not much action around here
« on: October 16 2018, 12:52:23 PM »
need  that ford lady to make more allegations,
or maybe  killary  to off another  snitch,


on another note,
I picked up a 72 skylark, 430/ 2004r
making a GSX clone,
 just finished  front  end/susp, all tubular A arms, disc brakes, pwr brks.


sent the interior out  to be magically transformed into  something nice,


looking at wheels,
thinking 18 in ridlers,  5 spoke,


oh, just found out I'm 1/1000  indian, so where do I sign up for  "indian casino" money?

I see  some folks buying every known  part, to increase HP.

way over  built, not strength, but  way to big of turbo, inj, cam, valve springs, and the list
goes on.........why ? cause some one with no clue, told them to?

I actually like it, as down the road, at some point, they will  sell off  the car or parts,
and I get a great deal on underused parts.

95% of  these cars are street driven, yet have parts that are close to "race only"
my big issue  is valve springs, 99% have way to much spring pressure,

my we4  has oem heads, with  big valves, and about 2 hrs on a flow bench,
206 cam, 60lb inj, and a 911 LU converter, and old school TA60.
11.51@117,  and 24 mpg hiway, quiet, and as easy to drive as  it was when new,
it spends 99 % of its time  on the street,

seems you just can not  tell  some folks facts, as they wanna hear fiction, it must be  more entertaining.

IHADAV8 Playground / you guys in the north east......
« on: January 08 2018, 12:49:30 PM »
are some tough  sumbitches!
the weather or what ever you call it, is not even in my vocabulary.

nowhere  does it say 'negative" degrees,  according to normal people.

seriously, no idea how you cope with  those miserable temps, and  all that white
shit  all over the ground,
hope your all safe and warm (kinda)

oh, it was 72 here yesterday, but only 55 today as rain is forecast.

IHADAV8 Playground / car show fee's
« on: December 30 2017, 11:51:51 AM »
anyone else  see the rise in  entry fee's for  car shows?
here in Az $50 is the going rate, for  1 day show entry,
if its a 2 day event,  the cost  increases,

in speaking with some of my (cheapskate) buddy's, we have chosen to  not  pay.
 or participate  ,
sad, as alot of these events are fund raisers,  for good causes, but I question
if all the funds are going to  the charity?

there is a large buick event  in So Kalif, that for years, the organizer claimed  it didn't  make
any money, yet  he went gambling at a casino diirectly afterwards,  ( with event $$????)
current mgr if that event charges NOTHING, and still has excess $$ from 50-50, raffle, etc.
and attendance has doubled/ tripled .
go figure!

A/C, Heating and Cooling / Re: Regal Radiator
« on: December 30 2017, 10:47:21 AM »
it works great!   in AZ, with temps of 100+ a/c on full blast, and temp gauge  reads 180
all the time,  fans cycle on and off,

I bought the ebay alum , 2 row  rad, (about $120)   added external trans (big!) and oil coolers,
added  dual fans,
at 1st thought  fans didn't work as  never came on, using laser temp gun, showed temps to be  under 160,
all the time,  so went  with 180 stat, car NEVER gets warm, ever!
my personal opinion....... . you can never cool a trans to much!  yes, if  its 20 below maybe,
 but if your  on boost alot,  as much rad, and trans cooler as you can fit.

I stopped  doing the TB.com  bull shit, when shane told me if I didn't  like it, leave,
then found it more calm to avoid all the  hype, mis information, and plain lies,
by many (trusted) people, LOL
I find it more fun to do my own thing,  OH, I research  what I'm attempting,
and find  out the hard way (sometimes)
stopped trying to make 23 zillion HP, and  just make a enjoyable driver,
white car is such a blast (2700lbs@500hp) 
so my point of all this dribble, 
let the  BS'ers go on, just enjoy the  trip your on.

OH I attend Bates nut farm, as friends live close by,

I'd say keep the info  to your self.......... .unless, someone PM's you ,asking for the  info.,
that way  you keep your  nose clean, and make no allegations  , (in public)

so how are you  ?   wish you a Merry Christmas, and  Happy New Year!
