its come to my attention that its hard to start my car... this leaves me wondering..

why?! are all carbeurated cars this hard tostart in the cold? and its not even THAT cold, more like chilly. im thinking of getting new spark plugs and wires but im not sure if thats entirely the answer....

any hints or help would be very much appreciated [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] thanks in advance

arin buy supercharger/heads/headers/intake/EFI and fix turnsignals/brakes installed wheels/tires/exhaust and started driving to school/got his car vandalaized/chased down the $%^@er that did it/he got away in his friends car

and now arin = pumping iron/waiting for supercharger/heads/headers/intake/EFI to arrive and saving moneys for install

eh, i would, but our neighbors who share the driveway are having a garage sale and i dont feel like using up precious gas to go somewhere nice to take pics lol. ill wait a bit.

although if all goes well i may be dropping the snake off at a shop later today for the blower install.

if i have any money left after that ill take it down to Maier Racing in Hayward and see if i can get my hands on some old Monroe Handler body panels (namely, the rear bumper and extreme ductail and possible a fiberglass hatch.

and if i have money ater THAT ill take it to the paint shop. im thinking of candy red, blacked out hood (low-gloss) black cobra II stripes, but with the shelby font/style of striping (also low-gloss black) and a blacked out tailight panel (yeah, you guessed it, low-gloss) and maybe some alum rear window louvers. Im also going to paint my ten-holes that i have in the garage black. well... as soon as i can afford 15" tires [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

what i wouldnt give for some traction lol

hehe the sidepipes are great. next to the sound, i think the best part about them is scaring the crap out of the people standing around ur car when u start it. my friends were standing around looking in thru the windows not realizing there legs (wearing shorts) were exposed to my sidepipes lol. oh man did they jump! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

im an **** lol

oh and the blower/EFI finally got here, but ive been busy w/ school all week (STAR testing and studying for AP tests and SATs which are all this and next week) and i havent had a chance to call the shops around here to work out an install date. plus... i need some like... money lol.
