did you get your truck yet???

 

well jsut watch out for hidden troubles. those LS1s are bad about it

 

yeah, ya know how you said Camaros are for guys with mullets, well Chris said he'll have to grow one then,

LOL

 

my hair is growing as we speak

The Z28 all depends on the insurance payment (found out in the morning) and if Dad trust me with 325 hp lol

and the guy thats looking at the RX-7 buys it, hopefully he will, i've got a ton of aftermarket crap he's getting for about dirt.

Joel wasn't exaggerating about the car, it's super clean, you could eat off of the engine. Or even the undercarriage for that matter, interior is almost perfect, brand new Kumho's, only drawback is it's an auto. But the auto still is a nice luxury, i'm getting tired of shifting. It'll still chirp second and do a burnout no problem and now I can eat/drink/talk on the phone if I want without having to worry about anything but staying on the road. It's a gorgeous car.

 

looks just like this one, only white.

 

we dont know about the car, are parents are like debating if he should have the car or not, my mom wants it, but my dad doesnt want it. so, were hoping my mom will help us out

 

change the avatar or i will be forced to beat the **** out of you

 

my new toy is better



BTW, anyone know if propan injection is good for diesels? i seem to remember reading somethign about it, but i can;t seem to find any literature on it

 

no idea on the propane injection...nice truck George. Parents are saying no on the Z28 (they cant come up with a real excuse, they're just feeding me crap about it's too expensive, when it's not, I've shown them both all of the numbers, twice, still won't listen) Dad found a 1987 300zx in 'mint' condition, it has show-stock trophys it's so clean, that he wants me to get. He thinks I'm making a mistake by not getting it, even if that body style 300 is one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen. Parents suck sometimes.

Chris

 

Joel, take the stupid car out of your signature, it was never even close to ours and it's in your sig....you gotta learn to control your hopes kid.

 

sounds like your dad is tryign to live out his dream thru you man.

 

that truck is cool and all george but its not a lightning. =(
-stephen

 

LOL, but it is cooler if you ask me

 

well i couldnt; exactly pull a load of steel with the lightning

 

Yes, I'm back. Kind of. It's been hell having no home internet service for the past two months. I still won't have home service for another two weeks or so, but I couldn't keep blowing this off.

As for propane injection, it requires spark ignition, therefore is not suitable for diesel engines. There was a book from SA Design publishers, called Propane Injection, but it's probably not available anymore. I have it, though...

Joel and Chris, sorry to hear about the near miss on the Z. Believe me, though, your parents were right in saying it was too expensive. The car itself wasn't bad for cost, but the insurance for a single under-25 male with a fast car is murder. You'd probably end up paying out more a month in insurance than car payments. I do agree, though, that the 1st gen 300Z'z were ugly *** cars.

I'm in Norfolk, VA, now. Maybe one day I will stop by and pick up my 88 workshop manual...

Ren
Feels good to be back...

 

you got me on that one george.
-stephen

 

what manual? lol



gotta catch me when i am home man. the new business is forcing me on 16 hour days 6 days a week. lol

 

REN, your back, Chris is prolly just gunna get a truck,and after this school year, me chris and my dad are gunna build a drag car(one for only the track)

so it'll be ok to have only a truck

Joel

 

damn, you guys are gettin about liek me with cars. lol

 

Ren,

Good to hear your back! I was wondering, because i didn't see you post recently. I guess there won't be a meet here any time soon. I was going to help, but we all know how things don't work out sometimes.
Let me know if your in the Havelock area sometime I have a Navy friend up there with you, he drives a silver Ford Contour SVT with Yellow graphics in the back window. Anyways I'm still waiting for a meet on the coast!

Terry7

 

LOL, guess what getting a drag car means?? me and chris are getting tools for christmas. I'm more than likely going to get a welder,and chris is prolly gunna get an air compressor and air tools.

Joel

 

hope you guys at least have a good set of hand tools before ya do all that.

 

Ok this thread is 1600 posts long and its been almost a year since the meet. We NC guys really need to get our act together and start planning another one. Except this time everyone needs to show up, not just me, tony, and terry.
-stephen

 

oh, dont worry,we have a ton of tools, but there are tools we dont have and will need, and air tools would help.

 

jsut make sure the air tools are ingersoll rand. i know they are a lil more expensive than others, but they are worth it
