Brad, I think you need some Carbon Fiber and Lexan, then paint it to match the car. :D

Oil is just supposed to be sitting here, right?!

My car seems to hate life come spring, last year it smoked hardcore first two start ups then went away by itself. Now it has a crazy oil leak it didn't have last year. Oh well, shouldn't be a hard fix when I figure out where exactly it is leaking.

Also have a guy from NY flying out to look at the car and hopefully buy it on May 8th. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Updated interior pics since its all back together now. Looks stock for the most part besides the hole where the radio was and the Kirkey. Privacy cover blocks the nitrous/trunk and all interior pannels are back in.

[scheides]

^To make something better its how we roll.

Once u do it, you can always do it even better the next time.

*Hmmm, looks like I'll be able to get a ride before she leaves, awesomeness*

Whats the replacement going to be? Diff. platform?

If you sell this, whats next?

And where did this guy from NY see the car for sale?

Yea, but supprisingly I think I kind of like it. It really hugs you and makes me not slouch.

Because I never though anybody would give me 10k for it and if somebody is willing to I will build another one or something else and try and go even faster. Once the leaks are fixed I plan on trying to whoop some ass and take it to the track before its gone. If it blows up then I'll juast have to keep it, which wouldn't be a bad thing either.

What he said^. Just kind of want something new. I'm down for a ride if I get off my lazy ass and fix the leak and you're back in town before its gone, if its ever gone.

Replacement would probably either be a 1g or 2g auto shell, whatever I can find on the super cheap. Or something kinda sporty that I could have fun in but leave kind of stock for the most part.

And where did this guy from NY see the car for sale?
I honestly don't now. I asked him and he said somewhere but couldn't remember. I only had it listed on here, craigslist once or twice a long time ago, mnsc, and the mn section on ricekillers. Kind of weird, but he has money and is willing to pay what I want plus shipping I'm all about it.

^Fuck yeah

Update for the crappy beater:

Went to the MAP even up at BIR the other weekend and the car ran the best time it ever has before.

It also weighed in at under 3k with me in it and a full interior, which is nice to know. Should be close to 2800 without me, and ricered out with no interior.

Best before was 10.8 @ 137 and 10.9 @ 140 last year. Glad to see after a year of abuse it can still run a decent time even if it does still have a small oil leak.

After the 10.7 run it drove down the return lane just fine but I stopped to pick up my mom from the bleechers and I could tell something went out that was clutch related.

Pulled the trans to find this:

Part of me just wants to hit the surfaces with a sanding disc, get a new throw out bearing, and let it buck. The other part says this is a perfect chance to swap to an auto. Leaning towards the auto so car might be down for a while :(

Auto ftw.
Join us, its going to be good.
