Nice, I'll check that out for sure.

i agree with most of what Fleshlight said, except maybe i missed the part where the type of vehicle was mentioned? for the most part though what he says is right and should definitely take care of you. As for the previous mechanic being a really trustworthy guy, to charge you $100 for a code read (that takes 5 minutes) is a bit ridiculous if they cant even finish the diagnosis

Bitch, what do you know about exhaust headers and gaskets? I'm running 1 7/8" headers which are, I guess, LS7 size and stock LS2 size is apparently much smaller. I've only seen one guy in one no name forum say that with this size header, I should be running an LS7 gasket instead of an LS2 gasket. Thoughts? It does make sense to me...



Who? Chris or Matt? I think both have relatively good experience, but I think Matt just likes to step on the gas for five seconds and giggles like a moe and that's it whereas Chris has some sort of racing experience... at least I saw him driving the deltawing, which I suppose is cool.

Matt and yes I believe he used to race. I have yet to see a journalist/tester, driv/push the cars the way he does, often on technical roads, not some bs air plain landing strip.

F40 son. Did you see the recent comparison tests by EVO/chris H, analog cars?

F40, vs F50, Carrera GT, Lambo muci, Pagani,noble 600, McLaren F1

Tard, is this the vid?




If so, that's not Chris H, tard.

and he's driving in an F1 the entire time talking about all the other cars which = incredibly annoying.

here, I'll learn you bbcode...






but the f50 still suuuuuccckkkksssss

edit: sad really.... the f50 max revs are below the idle of an f1 engine and it apparently uses the same block

[thefleshlight]

ps- does anyone ever think/remember how great the CTR yellowbird ever was? (fyi, I think about this at least once a week cuz I'm a loser)... I mean, this POS was amazing in its pure power and its overtaking ability. Ya, its weight balance was awful (rearward), had too high steering pressure and only had 470bhp, but dat top speed and boost son... Faster than the F40 makes me hnngg for the 80s all over again.

PSS- Eric, where's that dingleberry I called out that claimed he had a Ruf gt2 back in 2009 or 2010? ror

2006 Dodge Charger.

Yeah it sucks, but like I said the previous mechanic pointed me to the dealership since it was likely an electrical transmission issue. There is a local transmission shop around here though that I may check out in case this current local mechanic (different guy) tells me he can't fix it.

I'm thinking about just having them replace the speed sensor as that was what the code was for. $30 or so for the part is enough for me to gamble on, and if it's a deeper electrical issue, oh well.

[thefleshlight]

Too bad it's a slushbox or I could take apart your POS tranny and fix it... Shame.
But with that said, a CEL of tranny is just some sort of sensor; if a gear or gate or some other nonsense was fukked up, you would feel it and hear it before you 'see' anything.

I honestly love my car, but the transmission is really terrible. I'm not a huge fan of manuals as I typically drive city traffic, but if it would stop this **** I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Just got back from my second inspection. Guy said the Right Front lower control arm is basically gone, balljoint has a ton of play in it which is why my car was pinging. But that's all he said it needs. Compared to the dealer who told me the swaybar links and left upper control arm were toast. $350 for the part, alignment, and sticker. Sold.

Also, he checked his database of repairs on the P2767 code and said the majority were just from faulty speed sensors. Hoping that's the cause.

Swaybars are pointless for daily driving

[Jared.P]

Swaybars are pointless for daily driving

strongly disagree. i've driven a few cars with no sway bars and personally couldnt stand how sloppy they felt

Depends on the vehicle and how it feels. Most people do not run rear ARBs on the S chassis or very small ones whereas the front needs a bigger one.
I drive like an ass hole on the street so even with the optional ARBs on my truck, it's very nice and helps me with my increased ass holishness. It all comes down to preference and the OEM suspension design/geometry.

Massa is "leaving" Ferrari, aka Kimi is there tomorrow.

[Diesel0022]

Airless tire

I know son, I know, yes that is the vid. How did you like the mix of cars though?

Well, ya, they could delete the F50 for something cooler, like the Porsche Yellowbird I posted above. Lambo sucks. Noble m600 is kinda cool, and the others are fukking awesome.

Proud owner of a S60R now, way more fun then my taurus......

[Mr.Farang]

I don't know much about American cars. But this mustang always catches my eye. You can drive this car and all the girls will tell you to shag them well inside.

I heart that truck. Especially the passenger seat.

[Diesel0022]

The seats we ordered actually didnt fit the brackets...so I made new brackets. We are finishing up all the wiring now, all we have left is the wiper switch and turn signals. So that'll get done tonight, than we can start on buttoning it up with the glass/seats/seals/etc
