Check out this car. One of our buddys call us and said hey theres this car off the side of the road. We went to check it out. Pics tell the rest.
what you dont see is that there was a sharp corner about 30 feet down road from the car. We happened to kinda know the owner. The car was stolen three hours before we found it and the thief blew the front left tire in that corner pulling him off the road at speed. The car is totaled. The front left is smashed all the way to the strut tower.
Luckily he is part Indian and his grandparents own a casino, and he gets a big check every couple of months. He already has a new car

dammit, my car smelled alittle warm today so i decided to take a look under the hood and figure out whats going on, turns out my water pumps going bad, theres alittle coolant leaking out the weep hole. good thing i caught it now before it totally took a ****. rockauto has pretty reasonable prices so i'll hopefully have one by next weekend. i hope nothing else goes wrong before rotorfest, i still need to install my new inner&outter tie rods this week and get it re-aligned.
on the upside I will have the peace of mind knowing it's something else thats been replaced

yeah it's been dead all week
. i've been busy. heres a few pics of my newly painted water pump housing and coolant neck. and 2 shots of the engine after i cleaned all the gunk off the front cover from a faulty OMP o-ring.
i'm taking the water pump& housing over to a buddies tonite and he's tapping it for a temp sensor.

Hey guys, got an idea for 7stock.
I was talking to my brother, and he recommended that there are campsites in Newport and San Onofre Beachs. Thought I would see what everyone thought about camping at the beach, bbq, beer, and poker friday night.
I could load up the REPU with drift wood from lake oroville for the fires.
Any feedback?
