Re: Build Thread: RX8
Ok, let me go ahead and apologize, because I'm about to come off as the most cynical ass hole bastard you've ever met (Kind of like the last South Park Episode). No wait... I'm just not going to say anything and see what you do with it. If it at least looks good once you finish, I suppose that's a ...

Re: Chump car reliability
Fieros have a terrible record in LeMons, which is pretty similar, so I wouldn't bother. That goes for dukes and V-6s. You could try to slip an engine swap by them, but they've probably seen enough ratty Fieros in the series to know what oughta be under the hood. A pushrod 3.4 is about as stealthy as...

Re: Anyone watch "Musclecar" on Powerblock?
He's quite right, accepted isn't the same as true, but I've not yet seen any evidence to the contrary. What evidence have you seen *SUPPORTING* the idea that musclecar engines were under rated? As I said, I can't find the original source article online, but this is the excerpt that's popped up ever...

!= Whenever I see that, I'm convinced it's some sort of smiley face. But I can't figure out which one, so I spend 10 minutes trying to figure it out. Like, maybe it's a guy smoking? He's trying to create the equals sign with the slash through it, i.e. "does not equal." He's quite right, a...

Re: Anyone watch "Musclecar" on Powerblock?
As for underrating, the story goes Just that, nothing but a story in my opinion. Horsepower wars, No one was underrating anything. "Common knowledge" is more like it. Seems to all stem from an article by Roger Huntington, though I'll be damned if I can find it online. It's pretty much uni...

Re: Anyone watch "Musclecar" on Powerblock?
Come on, Shaun, Google is your friend. The car is a '73 Buick Century. That year, the 455 Century was officially rated at ... wait for it ... 250 hp. 190 hp at the wheels is low, but not that low considering where it started. As for underrating, the story goes that insurance companies had finally st...

4 years? Long ass time at one station. You still polishing missiles? I might run into you in Vandy-Land if I stay with Orbital on the civilian side. OTOH, I'm thinking about going back to active duty in the next couple of years... someone in Millington, TN lost their damn mind and gave me an oak le...

Re: "Tax the rich" signs held up by Pro-Union protestors...
Perhaps. For people to say tax the rich is dumb. For one, how much money makes you rich? Two, why is noone asking obama to pay more taxes. The dude is a millionaire yet noone is saying "Hey, this obama guy, we need more of his money!" Poor people don't pay taxes anyways Seriously, people ...

Re: Looks like I get to replace the starter now! :(
You only need the bottom of the car to be maybe two feet off the ground if that, the tank isn't that tall. Drop it down, drag it out. The real bitch is getting all the rubber hoses disconnected from the tank, as they've all likely glued themselves on by now. There's not a lot of room to work and mos...

Re: 1992 Pontiac Grand Am GT Sedan Quad4 5-speed
It's pretty wild to see a GM car from that era in such good shape. Have you posted on http://www.grandamgt.com/forum/ ? Yeah, I told my wife it's in incredible shape...for a '92 Grand Am. She just laughed. I've got a local guy interested, but if it falls through, I'll definitely give that site a sh...

1992 Pontiac Grand Am GT Sedan Quad4 5-Speed Manual Selling my near-mint ’92 Grand Am to one lucky buyer. My dad ordered this car from the factory way back in ’91 and maintained it meticulously for more than 15 years. He sold it to me a while back when he moved, but I just don’t have use for a secon...
