What is your name/age. what kind of 7 etc. and there are kind of a bunch of 7's here.
Right off the top of my head I can think of 9 for sure. Maybe even more. Shoot one of us a private message with a phone # and we will get ahold of you. Or we can give you one of our numbers. I am Ransom.

I will give matt a call next time I am planning on going to the shop. We can take a look at your car and see what is going down. Just don't overheat it in the meantime. If the colant resevoir keeps filling up past the full mark then it might just be a leak in the system and the coolant is not going back where it should. You can replace the lines going to and from the resevoir if that is the case. I don't think series 4 has the O-ring in the readiator filler neck. Hmm anyway I will get ahold of Matt and have him let ya know. Later on.

Matt! Ugh.... I called you around 10 to see if you could come to the race... but you were gone... sorry, we ended up going a lot later than we had planned. But oh man was it sweet. So, I'll let you know how it went k. We meet up at the Cenex gas station by fox farm. When i get there there is only his (04 GT stang) and two other cars. When we're ready to leave we drive to the flying J gas station and when we get there about 4 other cars show up to watch, so there's like approximately 10-15 ppl. It was crazy. So we told them they couldn't be anywhere close when we raced otherwise it would look suspicious and everyone agreed. We drove out on the furnage road and about 4-5 miles down there is a long narrow road off to the left that is decently flat that we've raced on b4. We both make a quick run down to the end and turn around just to check for ice...everything looked good, but the road was even more narrow cuz of the snow on each end. So, we drive back to the beginning of the road and i'm completely convinced that he is going to annihilate me. We turn around and line up.
I feather the throttle until my tach reads 4k and hong three times. On the third we launched. I slowly released the clutch and we stayed even until around 5-10 mph then i found a good clutch contact pressure and the car took off. Those tires gripped like you wouldn't believe. By the end of first i could see one of his lights in my rear view mirror. I slammed into second and pulled even harder and started to let off cuz i wasn't sure if he was still going. After i let off twice and threw it into third already having about 2.5 lengths on him and it stayed pretty even till around 120mph when i let off. I coasted towards the end of the road and rolled down my window and he told me that I won the race, but he spun really bad at the beginning (um, its an automatic, i think not). So we did it again on the way back.
End of first gear i could see his car in my rearview but not his lights. Once in second i could see his entire car. Pulled to third and he started to creep up on me slowly until around 100 when i let off. He, told me afterward that the road was too narrow and he couldn't pass me. So, we will race again in the next several weeks... I'm happy with my win! His mods: Custom magnaflow exhaust, chipped?

Hi Guys,

Good news I will be back in May for good. I found a job and can't wait to get back home with my wife and daughter. PLUS, another 7 back in town. I am tinkering with the 7 right now until I get my mega squirt back. Only thing that sucks is when I do get the stand alone back in I will need to dyno it. Where in Montana do we have a dyno? I remember hearing that billings has one but hopefully one is closer.

You guys are f'ing crazy racing up there right now with the weather. I was just up there for two weeks and yes, the warm winds were nice and did clear up the roads( my buddy john was even cruising around in his NSX) but still black ice could have veared its ugly head during that race. Be careful you crazy SOB's. Love when the stangs get beat, I had fun with a 03 Cobra down here on the freeway last summer with my old to4 turbo, took him by 2 car lengths by third. See you boys soon.....when the roads are clear.

What is up? Anything new with anyone? Ransom?

So I have to move all my **** back up to GF through the military since I cant rent a U-Hual and a two car trailer (they only have one car trailers). So I had to decide if I wanted the moving contractors to move my Honda or 7. I decided to go with letting them take my honda since I have heard horror stories about the condition of peoples cars after the move. My honda is a piece but is still running strong. I wouldn't care if it came back with no bumper..as long as it still starts and drives.

I am looking forward to the road trip. I have been running fine tooth comb through my cooling system and fuel system so I get decent gas milage and no overheating. Lets hope it goes smooth or I might be bringing back a parts car for you all.

Not a whole lot new. Car is almost done now. Even though I have been saying that forever now but I think it should work out. Trying to get through all this wedding stuff. Yeah thats about it. Don't bring back a parts car. Just keep an eye on it you should be fine.

Yeah I know it will be alright, never know though with these cars. Just wait bro till you get yours running, you are only a quater of the way through the thick of the ****. getting it running is only the beginning.

Wedding shananigens are a headache but definitly worth it at the end........except for the price tag.
