Now I see why your parents are limiting your 7 habits, Stu.

How'd you get those 12As out of the trunk? You can tell the ones that used to be in my car, they're the clean ones.

How's the hand? Did you go see a doctor like you are supposed to?

If you are planning on beating on it a little http://www.racingbeat.com/FRmazda2.htm I don't know if you have had dealings with Racing Beat or not, but they do sell top shelf parts. If you are planning on driving it descent, than a stock replacement will do. http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...pe=244&PTSet=A

 

Haha. Not to mention Sam is kinda talking me into getting a FC 13b engine/tranny/ecu/etc deal for mega mega cheap.

Scott dropped by and him and my father pulled the engines out in like under a minute. NASCAR ain't got nothin on them!

Hand is good. I took the bandage off and I am letting it air out now. Doc visit is tomorrow. I HATE doctors visits. No offense to any docs out there.

EDIT: also now that its all stitched up, and not bleeding everywhere, I can see how long it really is. He had enough room on the ends to put 2 more stitches. But its not like I am complaining lol. It is pretty much split from the bottom knuckle to about3/4 the way to the opposite side. Hardcore, I can't wait for the scar.

 

I must be missing something, What happened to your hand stu?

 

While he was putting two 12A's is his Protege, he missed a stroke........and well, you know. I can't wait to see what the carnage looks like. Look at it this way. It could have been worse, and you would have had to leave the engines at Ray's.

 

Putting the engines in the trunk of my car. The side inspection plate slid across my hand/inside of my thumb area and cut it about a little more than 1/4 inch deep and had to go get stitches.

I didn't cry Only laughed.

Pic related, this is like a mirror image I drew on my left hand, but I won't upload a actual pic of my hand. It is pretty bad lol.

 

ouch dammit. makin me hurt. but i guess me and rob are gonna go jerk a 13b and trans this weekend or next weekend. nebody else wanna come help?

 

Yep that's just what it looks like, except it's on the other hand and it's swollen and red and there's blood all over the place, at least there was when I saw it.

The reason the doc didn't put those last two stitches in was because Stu might have fainted if he got stuck one more time. Also, the nurse said Carolina boys don't need that many stitches.

Good to see it healing up Stu!

 

I am free sunday, let me know!!

 

Wow that sucks man, hopefully its not too hard to shift gears ;-)

 

ok thanks alot bad 83, ive not delt with racingbeat at all actualy, but ima deff. look into them.
ya i plan no beatin ono t a good bit.

so ive been told by a few other guys that the apex-i power fc would be a realy good choice with the bridgeport...... do any of yall have any exeriance with it, im lookoing for other ppls opions

 

i wouldn't use the Power FC in a bridge setup. it will work but you will have more resolution from other full stand alone's.

Haltech is ofcourse my fav

microtech and tec III will get the job done well too.

 

I had a guy offer me a clean tII body and trans motor blown for 600 today u guys think I should get it

 

Sure, part it out for $$ if you want. I would just replace the motor

 

we will see if my funds will allow it. if so ill let you know by saturday.

 

If all it "needs" is the engine, I say go for it. If it's needs are a heck of alot more, then consider what it would cost to make it driveable, and bearable, then offer accordingly.

 

I totally agree. Those TIIs are a blast to drive. Super comfortable too. What color/shape is the interior?

 

Look at it this way. All my car needed was an engine

 

**** ill drive down and get it if u decde not to get it, send me a pm and let me know whats goin on, i could get it this weekend!!!

 

yeah I think I'm going to get it tomorrow. Time to start looking for an engine I guess. Anyone know of any that are strong

 

is it missing the engine or is it just blown? your best bet is getting it rebuilt rather than sourcing another used one with high miles. even the Jspec's aren't really worth it at they are a 50/50 shot of being blown the second you get it. hahahaha

 

the guy hooked nos up and blew the hell out of it. I believe he took it out to rebuild then lost interest. I know you guys probably won't like this but I was thinking of doing an LT1 or even maybe (if it will fit) a Z06 swap. Just a thought though. I would have to pay someone to do the work is the problem

 

Well it would be a whole lot cheaper to just rebuild the jewel thats made to go in there.......but its whatever you want. would be kinda different to have one of those roll up to one of the meets.

 

yeah the z06 would be badass but it's a big motor and befee trans don't know if there would be room

 

Definitely cheaper to put a 13b back in (and port too, if you can) than sticking a Zo6 in it.
