Pretty much everyone here knows me already, but I thought I would throw this up. My car is pretty heavily modified and it currently down getting a new engine because the 6 bolt crankwalked. The best time so far is a 11.98 @ 123.1 while it was crankwalked .115". I am looking to be well into the 10's this year without nitrous.

Pic's taken down due to all the publicity lately. PM me if you want the links.

Damn that color is sweet. What have you ended up going with for pistons for your 2.4L?

Thanks Jakey, I think I am just going to go with .020" over pistons. Wiseco has them as an off the shelf item. I was going to get crazy, but I am going to be buying a house soon, so I need the $$$ for that.

Sexiest 1g evar!

You'll have to tell me sometime how you got your taillights dark like that.

What kind of head work do you have done? I didn't see anything mentioned on your website.

No headwork is done at all. I have a head waiting to go on that has a stage 1 port job that I did myself. Basically I just cleaned up the imperfections in the casting. I would like to put a stage 4 head on, but that is going to have to wait since I am buying a house.

I have a full Shep tranny in it. 4 gear center diff, billet forks, etc. The same one Curt Brown and Shep use. I have a pretty CF hood sitting on my wall too. Andy loves it! :P

I have planned to go really crazy with the car then save for a house. I decided to reverse that. I don't have a decent place to work on the car right now, so the house is coming first.

But you can't run 10's with a house :headache: Okay, I suppose you are probably doing the smart responsible thing......But being irresponsible is just soo much fun :bounce:

Thanks for the sexy 1G comment Matt I assume you meant that sweet blue one in the background right?

the one behind the car with the park bench on it? JET your car makes me wish I steal it from you, but that gun of yours is the scariest thing I have ever seen, its not scary when you see a gun like that, it when you see someone serious about actually taking someone on with it. Your car flys thorugh the gears in my dream right past me down the track. Maybe this year my car will actually make it to Rock Falls and I will actually get to watch it disapear. Anyways sweeeeeeeeet. :drool: :cheers: :bounce: :drool:

Fender gap isn't sexy... :razz2:

Ancient Chinese secret! I didn't have an article or anything, I just figured it out myself.

I know how he did it Matt so I will reveal the "ancient chinese secret" to benefit the DSM community since thats the type of guy I am :cheers:

JET somehow managed to steal Vicious's Ronco Spray on hair (as seen on TV) and applied it evenly. Give it a try and let me know how it worked for you. I am pretty sure Vicious buys it in bulk so maybe you could scam some more from him.

It also works well for putting fake brake dust on your wheels! I makes others think that you actually drive fast.
