i noticed how it might be double posting....when you click reply, it looks like the site isn't doing anything...kinda like it's frozen...so you click reply again...and that's when it double posts...your first click on reply has actually worked, the site just isn't updating the screen for some reason 
I just got home for Summit drag strip in Norwalk. My friend had free tickets to... well, whatever it is they were racing there. Haha! I don't know drag racing at all but it was free. It was fun. I definetely felt out of place in my TriPoint Mazda t-shirt and surrounded by American Muscle guys. But, once again, thank god I brought hearing protection. Those cars are bloody loud!!! And I gotta admit, the best sounding car there was the Titan Motorsports Scion with the turbo straight six. MMmmmmm...
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

It's got a 2JZ? That's what it sounded like from the vid I just watched on YouTube. And I know what you mean about being around muscle guys... Haha that's me every time I end up going to the A&W cruise-in in Ravenna with my buddies. It's all v8's, a killer built KA24 240, used to be a FlyinMiata NA Miata, and I saw one GT-R once.

Ok, I think it's on Saturday nights. I can hear it from my house. I usually forget about it, and then I hear the cars launching down Main St. and then I'm like "OMG it's tonight!" and I get so excited I forget I don't like muscle and end up going anyway...
My favorite muscle there is a 69 Camaro SS that's got a totally done out 327. He's got short enough gears that he runs 10's I think. It sounds ridic with the 12:1 compression or whatever.

Hmm, that's like total opposite of me. I remember the day my dad got his (my current) 626, but I don't remember his other 626 before that. My mom had an 89 Accord until she got a Millenia in 99, and now a Prius in 09. I guess we did have a 92 Ford Econoline van, but the first real domestic I guess was when my dad bought his Freestyle in 05. My grandpa is a mech engineer and had an FB RX7, and early 90's Sentra (I'm guessing 13B, I don't remember it) and a 90's Maxima, and now a Prius. Muscle does not run in my family.
It depends so much on how you're raised, I think. I guess I got raised thinking that hillbillies drive domestics, and even to this day I associate v8's with low intelligence. (shrug) I guess that's something I'll have to work past.
Now, forced fours on the other hand, oohhh that makes me tingle inside. When that 240 launched down Main St. I about fell on my knees. It seriously brought tears to my eyes and I was giggling like a little girl. The other guys with their v8's and whatever had been burning out and stuff, just being loud in general, but he put them all to shame beyond recovery. Plus I'm a 240fag so I'm a bit biased..
You'll definitely get a good dose of muscle, and race fuel, if you go.

Verdict seems to be a bent intake valve. They would have to send it to an engine shop to get fixed. Their ASE master tech is going to confirm it tomorrow morning and if that's the case the P5 will be towed back home and parted out. I need stock struts with the strut mounts and rubber and everything. I also need a stock exhaust. More details and a huge partout thread is coming. Now I have to figure out what I can afford to get as the next ride. I feel like s*** right now.

what would the cost be to get that fixed? couldn't you just swap in a used head?
two words: KL swap!

What?? s*** man, How'd this happen?
while watching the f1 replay on speed, i had a realized a basic difference between nascar and f1. In f1 most fans follow the teams, not the drivers. It's like other sports like nfl or mlb, the rosters change i.e. the Browns have had 5 or 6 six qb's in the last 3 seasons but fans still cheer for the Browns. Same in f1, Ferrari changes drivers and crew members but Ferrari fans still cheer for Ferrari. just a random thought i had
