That doesn't look as bad as I thought. Easy fix.

Guys, I appreciate the few that decided to come out Saturday. Sorry, that I haven't posted earlier but I started the Fall semester this week. Four days a week at Mitchell CC, and one night a week at CPCC.

Needless to say, I had to rethink my prioritys for all this running around that I am going to have to do. So, with that being said I did some trading around last weekend and I picked up a '94 Protege with 41k miles. YES, 41k miles. Too bad I had to replace the transmission. Got that fixed Sunday and I have been driving it around since. Does great, and so far it looks like 35 mpg. Sweet! I'll post some pics of the "new" Mazda later

I love where I live now...30 minute drive to the Blue Ridge Mtns...me and the FC just did some work! I'm at 20 psi now, went sideways in the middle of third while passing an SUV, scary but fun as hell! Car smelled like burnt rubber the whole way back.

Keep up? once your motor is done you'd probably crush me. I'm still using that turbonetics 60-1, got that thing pretty much maxed out, hits 20 psi around 4-5k then drops to around 15 by 8k...means it can't flow enough air to keep the intake pressurized, I still don't think it's making more than 350 rwhp, I could be wrong.

hx-40 still sitting in the garage waiting to be rebuilt, don't know what to do with it yet. I'll try and pull the egt gauge out for you this week though, I may come into charlotte next weekend. Got some FD's to look at .

whats up guys?

Sorry I haven't been around guys. I was in new york for 5 weeks. Then I got to come back to a blown starter.... I picked up a rebuild one and threw it in yesterday. Now she starts up like a champ. But more importantly NO MORE FLOODING PROBLEMS!!! Who would have thought the starter was to blame. Then again it was 21 years old.

So I see the meet day and time has changed. Is this set in stone?

Just a trial run. Seems to have been a bust considering only three of us showed up. I would like to try the second Saturday thing again, but it would be nice if more showed up. We shall see.

Does it not roll? AAA, or strap a rope and tow it, better than getting crushed. Sounds a little extreme for a landlord, they should be able to tow it off the property but not destroy your property, may need to talk to a lawyer.

From what I understand, its almost like an eviction notice, they have to give you so many days to move the item or they can do what they want with it, im sure there are loop holes and such, but its a litt late for that.

Where is the car, charlotte, ashville, etc. I ve got acces to a tow dolly but no truck to pull a car with. I can pull the dolley.
just as long as the car isnt to far out, I can provide the dolley
