    Heartland Park Topeka: anyone going for TnT tomorrow?

    Was thinking of making a trip out there from Manhattan if I get out of work early enough. I've only got the street tires but what the hell. I want to see if the new boostmaster pipe has given me anything extra.

    Am I the only one with this bad of luck?!?!

    I hear ya on the customer service! I just called Blue Oval Industries cause I had ordered a Throttle Body from them online last night. I called in to make sure they got the order and to see when it would be shipped out. Hell, I wouldn't of normally called but I'm partially stranded 1200 miles...

    Need help getting 70MM TB - Throttle plate shaft broke - Manhattan, KS

    Thanks for the offer! Thought about going to a shop to have them weld it... too late now, I have a quarter tube of JB weld on it. It should hold until I can get the new one. It still has some flex in the shaft and causes the plate to bind a little with the bore. It broke right at the bottom...

    Need help getting 70MM TB - Throttle plate shaft broke - Manhattan, KS

    thanks! I talked to some locals and they said the only thing they have is a performance machine shop. I think that's the one you are talking about, cause they said i use to be down by the track but they moved behind the Walmart in Manhattan. I found an address on the riley transition team...

    Need help getting 70MM TB - Throttle plate shaft broke - Manhattan, KS

    I'm skeptical of the general delivery cause I just got here and no one knows who I am. They would probably just return to sender or let it sit in a corner somewhere waiting on someone to claim it. And of course, I just had to hurry up and get here... right before everyone else has 4 day weekend...

    Need help getting 70MM TB - Throttle plate shaft broke - Manhattan, KS

    Should have known something was bound to happen. Just made the 1100+ mile trip out to Kansas. I'm gonna be here for several months cause I have to get some training prior to deploying to Iraq. Everything went fine on the road (one fillup I got 26.3 MPG), but once I got here I noticed that my...

    What's your age and total # of vehicles owned

    34 and I've lost count. Being in the military I 've had to buy and sell cars just cause I couldn't ship them back and forth from overseas or just trying to find a better hooptie. Plus a couple family members work for GM so I get discount pricing. Got into a kick where I was trading in vehicles...

    Thanks! It's amazing what a bath and some detailing will do. A/C hasn't worked in years, recently pulled the A/C lines and canister to clean up the bay and waiting to get an eliminator kit. replaced the oil fill cap with an Edlebrock breather and need to get a powerpipe or something to...

    Thinkin of driving to the track like this tomorrow *PIC

    figured I could load all my track gear (slicks, jack, tools) on the trailer and not have to mess up the interior or trunk. The guys that trailer their car to the track get mad enough when a street car beats them, how do you think they'd feel if the car that towed the trailer beats them? :rlaugh:

    I need brighter headlights

    That's the ones! $12.99 BIN and like $6.99 shipping. I was surprised that they shipped them in a bubble wrap envelope, but they came in unharmed.
