LOL thats hilarious, yeah i would be glad to take the crx. anxious to see how it would run!
Remote bttl openers get ya in trouble tho.. too easy to be sittin at a light an flick the switch. Some assclown in a turbo talon was screwin with me yesterday thru town.. Not even 'on it' I was pullin a slight, didnt wana do nothing real dumb as I was in town.. I think mustangs have a banner across the back which reads 'sport compacts with hacked off exhaust's and $10 intakes from creative customez pleace race me'.
(no i didnt spell customez incorrectly, thats how wrong its sposed to be spelled)
Channell if youre goin holla at me, i'll roll with ya. Dont really got nada to do friday.

Ben is the talon 1/8th mile ready? You need to go down and get a run in before you sell it....don't you agree...!!!

are you guys talking about the black couple ex? if so that think was not fast at all, when i went down in my hatch he was only 3 tenths faster than me. I would think with a zex kit his car should be faster than that.

No, remember Ben in the firebird and Jason in the black ex(whom you didn't know @ the time) 8)

Black? It was green.. lol
I dono bout track times or what not, but I drove it quite a few times an I will vouch that for a Civic w/basic mods (intake, exhaust ect) and a bottle the thing would move. Wasent great on take-off cause it spun but with a set of tires it would of launched well. Im willing to say it's give a stock mustang-gt a run for its money.
Was I drivin when we raced the firebird? I dont remember..

i was driving though the traffic circle that night, he pulled up beside us at saint joe and was like what in the hell you got done to that thing....55 shot it ran pretty damn healthy...for intake and exhaust only

yeah that car ran real good , that clutch would wear you out though.
that's right.. my memory sux, too many good drugs in the 70's
or early 90's.. whatever
the clutch seemed like a bear at the time, but if you have to drive it every day you get used to it.. my motorsport clutch is real stiff. when i get in something else that's a standard i try to put the clutch pedal thru the floor.

Oh I thought you guys were talking about the kid down at the 1/8 mile track that had N20 on his ex. So yeah anyway that was probably the coolest rice I have ever been a part of. That car was fast, but I thought jason said he had an 85 shot. :?
nah 55.. I tried to get him to changed it but he didnt wana put too much stress on the motor. still nothin will ever beat Jay Aires an his wide open no-jet run w/nitrous, an the rod coming thru the side of the block.

Ditto....lol.... 8)
So are you cat's still gona roll the strip on friday? I havent decided if im goig to stay in Carlisle thru sat. or not.. If im in town tho I'd like to go to the strip.. see if I cant further harm this pos 5.0 of mine.
(transmission permitting)
- Side note; Bought 88' GT in need of a tranny. (the maroon one I posted a pic of) Bought a world-class T5 used, while I had it in my clutches I seen no need of putting it in w/out having the sync's, seals, an bearings replaced.. that way I KNOW I am never going to have to worry about taking it back out. I get my car back, it sits in the garage for about 3wk's. Friday I get off work, bolt up a set of kicks so it's rollin 17's instead of those ugly drag-lights. I make it 25ft from the house an realise hey.. 2nd gear sync is out.. but wait, what's this? 3rd an 4th are out too.. yippie. It shifts, just not freat.. gota finess it a tad.. hopefully I can have the tranny out/fixed/installed in time to take it to the strip friday if im here.
