I was just thinking....

I spend all this cash on my car. Its not a dyno queen as I dont even know what power it makes, its not a car show as it stays outside and gets it daily dose of mother natures abuse, and it most definitely isnt a race car as I refuse to race it. Yet I cant help but to buy eventually practically anything made for this car

So I was thinking to myself. I probably have one of the slowest, least powerful yet most expensive SC's on the planet!!!..Hows that for dedication!!!

This got me to thinking therapy would do wonders.

But so would a nicer set of heads.......:confused:

Just my thoughts and ramblings for the day
 
Dont worry I feel like that every other day when I look at my bank account and what I owe. ;):rolleyes:

But then again. All around car is why we like these things right? I just wish mine did not vibrate on the highway. :(
 
I like the car stock even...So why..why ..why...Its like I have this sickness. I set a limit on what I would do or spend...But whenever something new comes out I cant say no if its SC specific.

I'm doing my cobra Housing soon with kevlar clutches along with solid mounts. Also doing the rear IRS frame bushing kit Dougs selling beginning of next month. Not to mention the meth kit, a new tune and alreayd thinking of new heads and a larger cam...Well maybe Ill keep this cam. I just need to stop..SERIOUSLY

Are we going to do the pumpkin at the same time as the IRS mounts?

It's age setting in. :eek:

I too have a bunch of stuff I haven't installed, and when I do I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it anyway.

It all started with a billet stroker crank....

Then it was a 2.4L AR

Then it was a T56

Then it was a solid roller cam

Then it was a direct port nitrous system

Then it was a direct port Snow system

Then it was Jay's K-member

Now it's Doug's bushings (all of them)

And that's not even talking about all the ordinary upgrades - 13" brakes, drag wheels, Koni's, springs, etc. - oh and don't forget the STEREO (!)

Oh, and did I mention the racing seats and roll cage? Nope, didn't even go there yet. :rolleyes:
 
ill challenge you to the title of liest powerfull sc...

heck mine hasnt even been on the road yet but I dumped over 2500 into a 800 dollar car. Ha ha ha ha
 
Hey you didnt break a tranny with that spec three clutch yet!!!

Naw, puts some good mileage on it too and havent had any problems...I am getting a wierd lower toned squeel sometimes when I am easing the clutch out and there is more load on the car (up hill or multiple people in car)
 
Amen....The list of things I want/need to do to my SCs is slowly shrinking, but I still have enough stuff listed to keep me busy for several years.

I feel sometimes like Im done but something always comes up. :rolleyes:
I think I hit my goals on my cars. Just need to work on the irritating little issues. I gotta say though my blue car has not seen the daylight since I got the 35th on back on the road. Do I really need two of these things :rolleyes:
