    Not another "which shifter" thread...

    Im for pro 5.0 and a Hurst "T" handle. Your handle looks good but seems like a bad choice for racing.

    Married? How do you get away with...

    I guess im just blessed. My wife knows how much I love my car and she does not say much when I spend. I do however spend very little on the car so far. I have a huge build ahead of me though so wish me luck. Still not sure how im going to pull it off.

    My Car Hates Me. I Just Cant Give Up. Lets Play The Whats Wrong With My Car Now Game

    I have to agree. Really the big 3 live on our patriotism alone. Then again that statement could be true for more subjects then most would think. I had an 87 accord with 120k on it and cost me 1200 cash. I drove that thing forever and only had to fix it once cause it got hit by a drunk driver...

    My Car Hates Me. I Just Cant Give Up. Lets Play The Whats Wrong With My Car Now Game

    I hear u man. Im a Chevy guy too. Only reason I have my car is the Camaro I wanted was sold 3 hours before I could get to it. On the other hand it would take a lot of work and cash to get an 700r4 and lo3 to do what a stock 302 fox can. I had both cars at the same time. "Slowmaro" carved corners...

    My Car Hates Me. I Just Cant Give Up. Lets Play The Whats Wrong With My Car Now Game

    Thats crappy. Whats wrong with yours? What gets me mad about mine is that I just fixed it after it sat most of the last 2 years and it was better then ever for like 3 trips into town. I am dreading the truck now and going from 28 to 13mpg and the fact that I robbed the alpine out of it to put...

So I bought the pads today(cant afford to do it all at once). The guy at the store didnt even tell me about the $12...

Fix any small things u can, first on the list should be cosmetics. Vac the car and armor all it every time...

So its been 11 years...

    Whats this ground wire go to?

    Okay now that makes since. So the larger ground wire in the pic that "J" posted above was added when the 3g was added. That would mean that had my car been stock, no 4 gauge wire would have been present at all. Well I guess I need a bigger alt like so many have said. Its just strange to me...

    Whats this ground wire go to?

    From what seems simple it sure is hard to get a clear answer to this question. So I made up this picture so it can talk for me since I must be retarded. All I want to know is where the wire goes? Its the wire in the center of the yellow circle. Thanks.

    Thanks man. Im just always expecting the worse out of this one lol. Im totally pumped though. Maybe she is finally done with the initiations. On a side note. This car is way to fun to drive with the radio up. I tried and just couldn't do it. We have some nice mountain roads around here.

    I totally dodged the bullet for once. I have good news to report. Sorry for the rant but as u can see from my past it has not been a very fun ride so far. Anyways.

    Maybe thats it. Exorcism. Ya I think part of the issue is low compression. Must have turned that crank 100 times and normally it would have killed the battery in about 10 rotations. Just cant believe it so I kinda lost it and kept trying to start it like it was all a bad dream. Holy hell...
