That was some narly stuff. I know Long was sh$tting himself when he snap steered into the forest. I take off. Grab second. Look back and Long is all over the road. Next thing I see, he is going right through the woods. Scared the crap out of all of us. I get about stopped, look back and see him coming back out the woods sideways. Freaking Josh Duke. I swear, Uncle Jesse would have been proud

A little more than that, but a good start to swapping in a second gen fuel injection or a custom setup. I had this idea floating around for a while. I think Long is seeing that FI may be the way for him.

sounds like somebody needs to learn how to drive. backing out of the throttle is part of driving too. on a brighter note i got alot done on the truck today.

Well Thank God That he was with me today!! Got to looking at my car and seen that I snaped the front sway bar in too. LOL But thats what happens when you are runing 20psi and did not know it. LOL See I was talking to Ant today at BK and was messing with the boost coutroller and frgot that I had turned it shut! So the car was boosting like mad But I did not pay attention to the boost, So man was I surprised when I thought that it was stell at 10psi and got on it and could not hold it in the road. Going from 10 to 18-20psi is like night to day!! The car just got out from under me. And when it boosted I was already in a curve so I had to fight it to keep it from going in to on coming cars!!Then my car desited to go off roading LOL So after my car came to a stop I fired it back up and driffted it back to the road And then got back up with Sam and then passed him, got on to a side road looked down and I was at 125 mph!! trying to keep cars from giting my tag # LOL Ant said that one minute he seen me but then I was GONE!! Sam said that he tryed to cacth up but I was not stoping tell I was at his house. So all is good now just need to do some more work on the car. Glad that I have good friends!! And thanks Sam for fixing me back up.

Well I got home today and wanted to do some needed tune ups on the 7. I wanted to flush the clutch system so I pulled it off and drained all the fluid and flushed it out. Then bench bleed everything. I went to put it on and i had the slave cyclinder to far foward and too much pressure. So with the clutch down I opened the bleeder and pushed the slave back a hair and now, its back to square one. I have no pressure and for some reason cant get the bitch bleed out, no pedal pressure. F#ck it I will deal with it tomorrow.

Long, I think you have more lives than my cat. I'm just glad you were okay. Cars can be replaced, but your too unique to be replaced.
Robby, I think you need an extra pair of hands to bleed that out. I have never bench bled a clutch, and I have never had a problem.

Thnaks for the kind words on Ant's car. It was a big challenge to learn a lot of different techniques on one car Now the challenge is keeping fat handed techs from pulling on his bumper(s) and cracking the paint.. Idiots..) BTW: I was here all night Ant. Sorry I missed the call at 7:30ish. I was sanding or spraying.

I Jambed out Jake's car yesterday. I am going to the booth today and tomorrow. Today I am painting the front fenders, rear decklid, headlight housings, and front bumper filler piece. I am trying a new style of paint for it so I am only doing that stuff first to see how it goes.

Our FC is now resprayed in FD CYM ( with alot more silver pearl added to it than standard. SEM Hot Rod black on the wheels, mirrors, and wing. Looks pretty sweet IMO, but I am bias.

Yeah, thats about it! I would want it near the spark plugs, I love the keg look.

Also, blowthrough would be better than draw-through.

See, thats what I'm talking about. I bet you could cobble that together for less than a grand or at least a lot cheaper than getting an Atkins blower setup.
