You guys are luckyI don't have mod buttons....just think of the crap I could make you say...LOL JK

Hey Dirka, I am not sure how long you have been coming on here so I just have to ask. Did you come in alone or did you ride the short bus with alot of the others(me included). Beast was driving so getting on was kinda tuff. :lol: :lol:

You mean he didnt stop for you either? You had to run and jump on too?

I been a member since bout mid-July of this year. My wife actrually sent me this site thru yahoo messenger.

Can't we all just get along :!: :!: :lol: :lol: :lol:



''JUST MY TWO CENT'S WORTH''

Whos not getting along??

Well i have read the whole thread and seem's to me when a ''Mod'' steps in someone got under their skin,It use to be a very rare ocasion for them to step in :!: :!: We use to handle things ourself :!: :!:


''JUST MY TWO CENT'S WORTH''

Hey dirka, you have to ignore Mopar, he fell off the bus once and hasn't been the same since. He actually likes Mopars eversince the accident also.
Just messing with you Mark.

LOL How you doing ol'e buddy, been working in my shop some at night, also building my street engine,

good to hear you have been getting out in the shop, any racing any time soon?

I have been for about three month's now, won one, runnerup in a heads up race, two semi's. things going good for you?


''JUST MY TWO CENT'S WORTH''

I have about 25 passes on the car now. I was adding some pinion angle and found one of my coilovers had come apart, the bottom housing dropped off the shaft when I took it loose from the mount. I also pulled my intake to do some port work and found it was not sitting down on the motor enough so it is at the shop getting cut down. I should be back out in a couple weeks.

Yeah i am having hooking problems also, working it out, tires still spinning 1 complete turn before launching. thinking about adjusting ladderbar's don't know which way i should go? They are netural right now.


''JUST MY TWO CENT'S WORTH''

Is that a camaro in that pic??

I wasn't having problems hooking, I set mine up with only about 1/2 a degree of pinion angle so that if it wanted to go left or right I would still have the front end on the ground. Now that I know it launches straight I put 2 degrees more in it to put some lift on the front. It was coming out of the hole flat but still cutting 1.37 to 1.40 60's. I am getting ready to spray it so I figured I better adjust it some to put a little weight back there. I did the same thing with my last car and everyone said it wouldn't make a difference but it went from coming out with the front flat cutting 1.47to 1.50 60's to pulling the front about 3inches and carrying it out and laying down real smooth cutting 1.35 to 1.37 60's.

Yea, don't hate me cause I am a Chevy guy. I like any old car fixed up or made to go fast.

Oh man you ok after the fall off the bus too??

Actually I didn't fall off, they ran over me and drug me for several miles before stopping to let the old guys go to the bathroom. :oops: :lol:

:shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actaully to me it really dont matter if it is a Ford or a Chevy. Now when it comes to trucks..Then it is Ford all the way.

That all depends on old or new to me. I have had several mid80's trucks and I would not have a ford or dodge back then. I still have a 79 one ton chevy dually that I pull my car with. If I bought a new or newer truck, if would have a to be a f250 or f350 no question about it. They look better and out perform chevy now in my opinion.

Speakin from experience.......

I got an 05 F350 with the 6.0l diesel. I t has a chip and after market exhaust and intake on it and it does pull really good. However, The new 6.4l diesels I have heard nothing but good things bout them. I heard that they pull like the old 7.3l that ford had back in the day.

Oh and just in case you didnt see I got a pic of it in my racespace and on my avatar.lol

Back in the 80's the little town I grew up in was 99% Chevy. I was one of very few guys that drove a Ford. You couldn't make me ride in a Chevy.
I even had a hat that said " I'd rather tote a Ford hubcap than drive a Chevy!! My old buddies still cant believe that I have a Chevy and my race truck has a Chevy motor.
The really strange part is most of them now drive Fords :shock:
To be honest I've always been a little backwards.

I prefer to think, you were ahead of your time. :)

until you have to work on them. My nephew has a 2000 f150 4wd and I had to work on it a little...it's like a van. The engine is way back under the firewall. :?

I do agree with you on that to a point. My 05 F350 the last set of cylinders is back in the firewall. It makes it a pain to change the injectors on that thing. Also they put so much chit on top of the engine you have to pretty much removed the top just to take off the valve covers.

Not on a ''CUMMINS'' :lol: :lol: :lol:




''JUST MY TWO CENT'S WORTH''

I just had to put a coil pack on #8 on my 01 F150 I needed 4 extra elbows and 2 more thumbs. :shock:

wait til ya have to change the plugs :shock:

I would junk it first.

Yes ''tod'' i agree then go and buy a Dodge :!: :!: :lol: :lol:


''JUST MY TWO CENT'S WORTH''

Hey now, I resemble that remark and define "old"

Its ok Beast. He said you were drivin. So you must be one of the "young" ones

I agree. trade it in on a REAL truck......................An F350

Maybe younger than a few but not many I'll bet. At least not on my bus. :lol:

the dodges & chevy/gmc's are a hell of alot easer to work on. the cars ,there all the same pain in the a$$. more hrs more $

Like Dirka said, you where driving. I was refering to some of the old timers you had picked up. I won't name any names like MOPAR or anything. :lol: :lol: 8)

OK I'll let it slide. I heard he's pretty old. But who's counting. :lol:
