In my DSM, Down shift to second instead of third.

In outher cars. The dumbest thing I ever did to a car was, take a vice-grip to the rear brake line and crimp them off, and remove the rear brakes on a Tempo, that I couldn’t afford to fix.
And put "Great stuff" expanding foam in a rust hole, and paint it.

Great Stuff is the shyt! The dumbest thing I have ever done, hasnt happened yet. It will be to drive the gsx as a daily driver. Today, I was under it, dropping the exhaust, and I saw all the back end was rusted. Not rusted THROUGH, but noticable surface. Damn car came from CT. So, when the tranny is done, and the body is done, I will take it to a lift, and blast all the rust I can, get some rust inhibitor stuff, coat the underside with that, then some under coat stuff, like bed liner. Hopefully it will help the car out. Driving it like it is, would be DUMB, lol. (Oh, and I let a friend ride my chopper, and he laid it down)

Install a stereo system in my old Grand Am worth more than the car then make a spur-of-the-moment decision to sell it for a huge loss.

Let RS Motors touch my car! Clutch job=$600 for labor + over $350 for ACT 2100 clutch (which they called Stage II). I dont even know if they resurfaced my flywheel or not.
Fried my clutch at RF last spring and wasting too much money on crap parts...like Punishment Racings 2.5" Pressbent DP. Cheap in price and quality..haha.

I backed up into those concrete blocks that hold up light poles in parking lots...haha.


I learned that one the hard way too... RS Motors is now out of business... All the guys should be gone soon... Propulshun should be hiring NEW guys who know what they're doing, I've met a few of em'... I guess time will tell

Oh god, even worse. I would trust Ron over them. It's not like there are really that many guys out there locally who know a lot about modding different kinds of cars. The most knowledgable Honda guys out there locally have their own things going. Did Propulshun get the dyno?

Nope. They're buying a newer, nicer one. AWD. Ron is gone, and so are the rollers.

They're hiring some outside help from has been shops...

I put a body kit on my 1.8 sohc 92 1g eclipse. Left it unpainted. I also bought 15 inch ADR rims and put low pro tires on. Can you say good bye to 1500 bux? I coulda bought 3 part cars with that dude.

Ron took it with him? Wonder if it's for sale.
