i got your starter in cold storage.... don't know when I'll make it out there to get it but i will before October for sure.

I didn't know turbo and auto starters were the same.

I also might have a lifetime warranty on the one thats in the vert from orileys

 

^^^ Automatic starters fit the T2 transmission. How about that ****?

The Lemon has a (dead) automatic starter on it now. I bought it off the forum for 20 something bucks shipped and its probably an original starter from the late 1980's. I have NO IDEA why it might have failed.

Anyhoo - I'll take all the donated starters we can get - T2 or automaic. We have terrible luck with them.

 

Do you think its the vibration? Or maybe the oil? I'd think that the oil would be good for it. Its not like we've been cranking on it THAT much sense we've had chucks new motor Did the solenoid die this time or is it the motor? And I have one from an s5 auto that i'll have to go get.

 

^^^ I don't know whats killing them. Could be just dumb luck. Or dumbass luck.


Hey, a dead starter, a dead alternator, and a golf cart got Chuck a cool trophy!

We are definitely going to set our car on carpet and behind crowd control poles for the next event and display all our trophies.

 

That would be sweet, How many trophies do you guys have exactly?

 

You guys have a dynasty going on there?...lol

 

Four:

Dangerous Banned Technology - Lousyana 2009
Judges Choice - MSR Houston 1 - 2010
Organizers Choice - Lousyana Part 1 2010
Most Heroic Fix - Dallas 2010

 

That guy hit me!!!!

I definitely wont have the team or the car ready for september, but if you guys are gonna be in New Orleans in Novemeber; I'll let you drive a lap or two for sure.

Im thinking mid-engine rotary powered mini truck..... bong.

 

How could you forget the most prestigious of them all: the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!!!

Well, maybe that was more a function of the genius at the wheel than the car.

 

^^^ Yeah that award was definitely a function. It was an indirectly proportional function... but hey, it was a function.

You should totally check that thing in your luggage and bring it to MSR!

We could even display the judges toilet! I gave it a pink zebra stripe motif in Dallas. Its like giving ourselves a trophy!

 

Hahahahaha! I saw that toilet! I meant to ask when I was in the pits, I thought yall had got a penalty and had to paint it or something. The pink zebra stripe is hard to miss.

 

really think we should go with another theme for next time.... or maybe a little corporate sponsorship?


We're the only ones who can relate to not being able to stop the leak.

 

^^^ Already been done. It was in Dallas last weekend. This car had "oil" over thre rocker panels.

THEN - it got black flagged for fuel leaks. Seriously.

Another time I saw it in the penalty box and the judges had the whole team cleaning up oil spills.

 

Nah - we have been given the dubious duty of dragging the doghouse and toilet from event to event. They give us one "Get Out of Jail Free Card" for each race for our troubles. Usually we burn through it about 30 minutes or less into the race.

Anyhoo - I decided to tag their toilet with the pink zebra stripe and deliver it to them. Luckily for us we were absent all weekend from the penalty box - otherwise I have a feeling we would have spent a LOT of time on that toilet.

 

DocOc, I hear you want to do Lemons... I want to too.. And Im sure Aaron and Bruce want to, too... Lets talk.


Now I want to also do kart racing... Nothing serious, how much is a quick and sweet, tag and bag, kart?

 

Epic Beer Cooler.

 

I'd love to race LeMons, but this next go round I will be working (and hopefully moonlighting as a judge). I'd love to have you guys down though, I'll make sure you get the very "fair" treatment.

 

Will do.

 

LOL!

"Whats an apex seal? I thought these things came with 3 of those things stock? thats how I bought it from the junkyard for $500."

 

^^^ Too bad really we never got the hot (or cold) tub filled.

I had a baaaad feeling about filling that thing up with about 3000 lbs of water directly above the 5th wheel on a 3/4 ton truck - and then traversing down the big *** hill to our paddock area. Especially since we had some ghetto *** spare tire on one side already.

On that note - anyone ever changed a flat tire at 3AM in the boonies that was so shredded and fucked up you had to use a four way, a big *** hammer, a prybar, and a sawzall?

We have.

 

You can't fool the judges. They have PHD's in BS.

 

I was with you til sawzall. HAHAHA I hope you fill the hot tub with with beer and ice. That would at least been a reasonable substitute.

 

Yes but, in Soviet Russia, bottle of Jack Daniel's drinks you

 

You brink Jack Daniels (as a bribe) to a LeMons event you might get it poured out in your drivers suit.

 

That was funny!!!
