    Just when I think I’m out

    Well, I popped a head gasket and pulled the motor to freshen it up, then Hurricane Harvey flooded my house. It took a year and a half to rebuild and when I finally moved back in I just didn’t feel it anymore. I got an offer I couldn’t refuse, so I sold it and bought a ZX14R Ninja. I recently...

    Just when I think I’m out

    So, a coworker of mine who lives near me has a brother who drag races stock class foxes. He is always buying E7 heads and stock long blocks to work over, and had these two rollers for sale after robbing the mills from them. I’ve been getting better at painting, and my son and I just did pretty...

    ....and that really sucks because 120 is second gear.

    Check that date... it’s the weekend of the 18th. We just had a surprise turnaround pop up out here at the plant. I’m going to try desperately to make it though. I just made an inquiry about running the ZX14R. If I can go, it’s going to see 186 minimum.

    They do Texas Miles every six months... I believe the weekend of October 12th is the next one. We should go.

    I like to go incredibly fast down a long road... heck I do it with a cage... or a roof, for that matter. *shrug*

    Thinking about switching back to NA, need help with a recipe.

    Hey man, I’ve said this before in here... years ago, but there is a video out there of an edelbrock package on a 347 that made ~ 500/500 on an engine dyno. They played it on HP TV or one of those shows on powerblock a long time ago. It was actually at the Edelbrock facility and Vic Jr was in the...

    Nailed it. I had to pass, it had holes all around the sunroof. Too bad, it would have been neat, but I’m done fixing rust holes. My son’s car broke me of that.

    Hey man, congrats on the house! Look at the size of the garage and double it. Seriously. This dude that has the car owns a shop in Alvin, TX called Apex Racing. They had a lot of really cool stuff there- tons of SCCA cars. A lot of porsche, VW, and vintage European stuff like Triumph...

    Thanks Noobz! Let me see what this car is all about and we’ll go from there. It looks fairly solid, paint’s a little faded and needs a grille, small stuff like that. I may just buy an explorer motor to drop in it If I can find one with less that a million miles on it. O.o

    I’m going to look at this tomorrow. Not a fox, but it has 5.0 HO/T5 drive train. Needs work, $750. I find it hilarious! I think the engine is hurt and needs repair or replacement. Has ac, ps,etc. could be good for a laugh or two...

    Thanks Jeff. I used Brock’s Performance out of Ohio for the 900 and it’s pretty wicked for what it is. I’ll check out Mr. Miceli and see what he’s got going. Not sure what I’m gonna do with the 14 yet.

    Hey buddy! How’s it been, man? Yes, the house is finally rebuilt. It took a year and a half and lots of grief from contractors, but we are back home! I love it! Thanks for asking! That 900 is a modern classic replica of sorts of the 1973 Z1. It’s a fun bike, especially with the Brock’s...

    That’s really cool Mike! I’d love to see pics of it... although I’m trying to figure out how to buy a 535i right now and pay for college! Ha! I’ll probably be stuck in the s550 for three-four more years.
