Skye kiss my ass !

I bought it for $3578.99

Then had to pay $600 to get it shipped from Utard.
Then I spent One Hundred Million Dollars to fix it.
Then I spent another One Hundred Million Dollars to make it RA, NASA, USAC, FDIC, NTSB, USB, IDA, IBM, KGB, KFC, FIA, GRU, MIT, ASU, UCLA, PITA legal.

Then it done blowed up.

Ooooops

Back to square one, well square three to be exact. I have an unmolested loom (so what I bought it on eBay) to replace the one that was fucked by the Russian (I swear I am referring to real Russians), a new engine and no fucking time to put all of them together.

Cheers

Skye you want some fabulous Gp-A front suspenders with DMS shocks and big ole brakes to go along with your Gp-A Kar? I even have three of the wayyy wancy wheels that will match the Ford boltpattern and other misc and assorted sundries that are just itching to be used in a Ford thing like yours. I have obsene money into this shit and will happily take a much less obsene amount of money for it.

If you are interested in this shit gitaholdome at jlane@pacrimauto.com as if you do buy this junk it will actually force me to get the car out of Sisterinlaw's steelbuilding (it has been feeling all mellow having taken up residence where all the old Tennis' Saabs had been for many many moons.....it may not even know just why it feels soooo mellow but it does).

Got any fancy dijital piktures of said junk?

Probably not - I've already got 41mm suspenders and big brakes - but wouldn't mind seeing what you've got anyway.

Mustafa,

Back in the day when I was a Yacht Captain I liked to sit on the dock where they made all us Mega Yachts park and take questions from the crowd.

How much did it cost? 4 Billion USD... Wow

How Tall is the mast? 1000 feet or 300 meeters when in most ports.

Who owns it? A 3 year old kid...

Sounds like you would be good at that job too.

Have you thought of changing from the flaming buterscotch to weed to mellow out?

Derek

Funny you should mention it. Actually I still have a valid sailing licence which allows me to sail boats up to 40 ft in length.

As far as weed is concerned NO THANKS, I didn't do drugs in 40 years I don't have the slightest intention to start until I am 70 years old.

Is it OK if I chew on jabaneros instead ???

Likely a good idea to stick with the leagle drugs.

My Grampa always wanted to get older so he would be of an age they would not throw him in jail, then he was going to go out hunting plastic seaguls and pink flamingos people like to put in their yards. He collected a few wepons in preperation for this noble prusuit but by the time he was of age his health was not at a point crawling around in the dark with a shotgun was likely to happen.

So think hard about putting off things for the future.

well iam new here and for those who don't know me on SS i have a
74 bmw 2002. with the new Gf rules i am putting a 88 325e super eta
2.7 strait six in. eventually i will bore to 2.9. i should be right at
2400 min weight. might have to balast 50lbs. but the nice thing is i
can ad as many bars to my cage as i want and the car will nor fave to have any fiber/plexi glass parts to save weight.

i am going to try and adapt a muncie m21 cr 4 speed to my bmw. they
start at 2:2 in first 1:64 1:28 and have a 1:1 4th. with my small 14''
and a 3.9 lsd should make a good package.


anyway i might get it done for colorado. if not it will be 100AW 2007.

dude, welcome aboard here.
nobodys gonna google your and see if you've done some events, I say even if you're just being a maniac on gravel roads, the advice is the same.

But listen to me: if you want to be competitive you must get some much shorter gears in the rear even with those 14"

with that first, shoot for at least 4.56, maybe 4.75.
or tell us why you are so insistant cause you're missing something...
another way of looking at is this: why would somebody keep suggesting that you reaslly should go shorter? am I just talking shit to hear my head rattle?

often I learn things from working from an assumption that some info from reliable source is correct, so I accept it even if it seems screwy, then I work backwards to understanding.
in a way its "reverse engineering of knowledge", and like reverse engineering hardware, it is evey bit as effective as figuring out things the tradional step by step trial and error method, but a lot cheaper and a lot more successful if you chose your strarting point well.

well, what i am baceing my r&p is on how fast i "want to turn my motor"
and what i want my top speed to be. both being safly issues. motor life
and my own.

i can see where a larger r&p would help the 2:2 start. i don't think i will have any trouble starting w/o stalling on gravel.

if i go to a 4.5r&p and turn my motor a max of 6k with my 14's i am going
only 85mph. seems like i would like to mex out at 100 @ 6k.

i will gernerally rev only to 5k b/c that is what I WANT to do to my motor.
i'm sure i will be ok on power with my low torque motor.

now, you will say if winning is what i want i have to do it to the MAX 7k
and up. then yes i would NEED a 4.5 r&p.

yes, i want a fast race but driving is what wins. reliability is how you finish.
hopefully i will have both with this car.
