yep, Mothboy, you do wear the cloak!  Now, go buy a Vespa and leave us alone!  Do something to stimulate the economy other than generate electricity by friction.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

If that car will not launch with 4.10 gears and 28" tires, a 250 amp alternator will prevent it from idling.

Looks like it'll be a couple more weeks before the rearend ships, wheels and tires are being shipped with it.

I've got line lock, motor mounts and a new y-pipe to install in the mean time. I should yank the front sway bar to get some weight transfer.

Hopefully I can gets some runs in early next month.

I have one, too...the price was right...but, paying a ridiculous amount for something bigger because someone told you that it would work miracles would make you something else :sad;

Yeah what's up with this thing? I'm too lazy to search, anyone got Cliff Notes to this? I still rock the stock one, waiting for it to fail.

It's being pushed that we can't operate our cars anymore unless we upgrade to a 250 amp alternator. We have been duped for 22 years. Snake oil salesmen are taking over the community
