well today I was screwing around and took a turn a little quicker than I was probably should have but the car usually takes them like a champ, today I slid a little without actually screeching the tires at all which was weird, might have actually slightly 3 wheeled it or something, but it was strange, so I tightened up the front coilovers 2 clicks to hopefully help with it, when it was all the way stiff I never had any problems, oh well, I really need new tires though, backs are completely bald, coming close to being illegal, and the fronts are a little better but not by much
either way, just glad I didn't bump into anything and had a little fun doing it haha, it was an experience... oh and I was screwing around while I had my mom in the car, she kind of freaked out a little(evil)

Ordered the parts for my tranny. Espensive (lol I know it's spellt wrong)
got my front bumper back on, hopefully tomorrow I can fix my vac leak and get the hood on and take it for a spin...may take it around the block with out the hood if I don't have an extra set of hands to help get it back on
Way to go SpeedAdiction20 ! I took a 90 degree right turn too fast once. Tires started screeching as I slid towards the ditch. Everyone at the church nearby looked when they heard the noise, but the tires finally caught and I shot like a rocket back to my lane, but I also happened to over correct so I had to turn the wheel back to the left so I wouldn't run off the road on my right.
My tires were too worn to be trying such a stunt.

^^ ya thanks, I had overturned a little too, not too much though, I use to drift around corners all the time, especially in the winter with my first car (crown victoria) so the front wheel drive is a little different, and hitting a curb in this car is much much worse than in an old crown vic. lol but ya, time to talk to my buddy and get him to hook me up with some wholesale tires, I've taken some tight turns before, and the fact that my tires didn't even screech and they just kinda slid didn't feel too good
You get your car back together?

+1
I don't even want to drive mine it's so damn hot.
On another note; My J&S saved my butt the other day. The feed line for the meth popped out of the fitting, so it wasn't spraying methanol, and I spiked 13psi. The J&S picked up some detonation, pulled the timing, and saved me from joining the zoom-zoom-boom club. Pulled over got the hose back in, and she pulls like a champ again.

new battery, the red top went do free replacement. Vac is down to 18 and with starter fluid the leaks seem to be at the corners of the intake mani. Gotta try to tighten those bolts down but I think they might be stripped.
thats so awesome to hear. I can't wait to get mine in. Just waiting on my knock sensor to come back from j&s. Come on john!
