lol, I dont know the actual terms, but i can use one
I'd love to have a really good camera, but I just dont see paying $2000 on a camera, that indeed takes better pictures than an excellent point and shoot, but unless you know your photography, i can't tell the difference

Yup.

0-5 against the Pack in the last three years. What happened to the "rivalry".

That's why I thought that setting was meant for auto's only Maybe somethings wrong with mine.
Maybe there's a difference in model years.........? Mine's a very early '06 (built august 05). Anyway, sorry if it seemed like I was calling you out, I wasn't trying to.

Buying BMR PHB and support.

Trading my stock f&r swaybars plus $100 for Eibach f&r swaybars.

Working on deal for big brake kit.


Stop spending dough on brakes and sway bars and get a BLOWER.

All they did was assemble it, and balance was done at another shop.

And I'm in complete agreement, got to get it into the shop as soon as pocketbook possible.
Cool deal.....

No not at all, mine is an early '07. now you have me wondering if something is wrong with mine. The neutral safety switch works because it wont start unless I press the clutch so I know its not that. I don't know what other switches/sensors the computer would use to tell that its in gear?

Good question, I don't know. There's nothing on the shifter itself...

spacers will let you do the big brake kit... might have to investigate.

Leo, what big brake kit are you looking at. Do you have it narrowed down to a particular one?

Stoptech. This is still up in the air though. Far from a done deal. I guess you could say I'm counting my chicks before they've hatched.

OK, I'm not the only one. I knew that they'd hit the "spokes" but if that's the only obstacle I guess it'd work. Still not a fan of spacers.

My problem with most of the kits is that most are 2K + and while I like being able to stop I'm not so sure that dumping over 2 grand into a set of calipers and rotors are gonna make me feel all warm and fuzzy. 2 grand is 1/2 way to a build forged motor.

... minus any head work.

Then you have the added cost of a new clutch and flywheel, and whatever else you want to do while the motor's apart.

Or, just have your stock engine disassembled, and replace the connecting rods and pistons........ reusing your crank, block, and heads. Then change pullies and run 15psi. You can do this for less than $2k.


((insert evil laughter here))

Totally agree which is why If and when this deal works out it won't be anywhere near that amount. I'd never bring myself to pay that much for brakes either.

Brakes & Sway bars are dead weight in my book.

That's like taking home a hot chick and just end up talking the whole night.

Point is, if you're going to open her up, dive in with both feet. (old Chinese proverb )

btw Tom, love your new c/t.

Nah, stock block and crank is good for gobs of hp. Heads flow pretty well actually, throw in some cams and springs and they can suppport 600+hp and probably close to 7000rpm. Replacing everything is what people do when either 1) they've accidentally toasted their factory stuff or 2) they have too much money to spend LOL.


And yes, my new c/t rocks LOL.

Who's to say Brian's not after 700 to the wheels?

Alas, it's true. Those who make toast and burn it, must get forged bread.
