    To much?

    Yeah, I know. But, I also know John has told me that it may eventually get a V-8 (possibly a big block or 351-based build). I also figured that he would be like Phil, and have some fun with its handling, etc. before it gets the V-8.:shrug:

    To much?

    Dude...that looks like crap. You have completely ruined the geometry of the front suspension. Now, not only does it not corner or ride well, but it will be worse for drag racing, as the weight transfer will be screwed up. Get some real lowering springs John! I liked the car better prior to...

    sad sad day........ no more starbucks......:(

    The cop began his speech by saying that management of Fred's and the Wells Fargo Bank wanted us to leave. Enough said.

    sad sad day........ no more starbucks......:(

    See the original sticky on the DQ meet location. This place is ricer free and hosts summer-long car gatherings. It is only a couple miles west of Starbucks.

    sad sad day........ no more starbucks......:(

    Good to know. Now I am trying to remember if this one is actually licensed to Fred's....despite the obviously incorrect information in several articles I have read over the last few years. Some of the employees used to come into this particular Fred Meyer store and buy creamer, etc. when they...

    sad sad day........ no more starbucks......:(

    Yes, the Starbucks is open 24 hours. It was the first one anywhere to be open 24 hours and was one of the most profitable locations in the chain for some time. This particular Starbucks franchise is in an outer corner of a larger building owned by Fred Meyer (Croger Corporation). As such...

    I failed emission testing for noise

    I know. You just answered you own question, while serving to echo my point. Emissions come in several forms from the tailpipe. Gases are put out, as are sound waves.

    I failed emission testing for noise

    As far as the California emissions is concerned, I will believe it when I see it. Yes, we are closer than we have ever been to it politically, but this concept has been in the hopper for about ten years. Every time they tell us that it will be implemented "in a few years" the initiative gets...

    I failed emission testing for noise

    After trying another station, simply purchase some exhaust baffles from Summit or Jegs. I have used these in several cars and have seen effective db reduction. As I recall, there is a cone style available that you can slip in at the collector of each header. This way, you can take them out...

    I failed emission testing for noise

    Simple. DEQ regulations are essentially non-existent for motorcycles. Motorcycles and low-speed vehicles are not tested, as their numbers are low in terms of both harmful emissions and physical units on the road. It sucks! If Oregon and Washington had the budgets, they would both enforce...

    Average cost of...

    Put the possibility of a V-8 swap out of your mind. The cost, in both time and parts, would be much more than you would expect, in order to get the swap done correctly. Get a used GT or Cobra and save yourself the time of swaping parts, etc. I persued a V-8 swap in my truck because I had the...

    My mod motor turbo build

    Looks great Jeff! Can't wait to see it run this spring.:nice:

    is it worth it?

    I think that is a little pricey, given that the engine is otherwise stock. If the car had serious engine work done to support the full potential of the turbo kit, the price would be justified.
