    It's a quote from Smokey and the Bandit. Tell me you've never seen it? I grew up with that movie hahaha

    I have no idea lol I'm learning little bit more about this car everyday. It's a funky set-up. I'll get some interior pics and engine bay pics

    Got another car, not a ford but I couldn't resist!

    To be honest, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it lol I would love to restore but I'm also trying to finish my stang. I might drive it the way it is for a little bit (I'm sure a couple will appreciate an original, unrestored car instead of nit-pickin every spot of rust) then once our...

    I got my hands on a 1981 Trans-Am Special Edition, All original, 31,000 original miles, turbo 301, automatic, t-tops, 4 wheel disc, pretty much every option available back then. Just has minor rust, it's been garged most of it's life. Picked it up for $2,000. Here some pics, I have the...

    The brakes go down pretty far... they don't feel as good as they did before although it's been 3 months since i driven the thing.

    Another question, are your brakes supposed to suck after FI because there's is no vacuum or whatever? They may just have to re-bled. I'll be getting back to the head gasket after the weekend.

    I guess it didn't throw off the balance of the pulley? What kind of socket for those?

    Finally Dyno Tuned

    Could the block be warped or anything like that? Just a thought don't know if that's even possible lol

    Turbo kit finished!!! But so is the head gasket too i think

    I think I'm going to invest in a turbo blanket and wrap the downpipe. My turbo is way closer to my alternator than yours. Jeez, I haven't even gotten to experience any wires burning or any headaches like that, the head gasket had to blow before anything like that happened. Welcome to the...

    Turbo kit finished!!! But so is the head gasket too i think

    Well I spent the last 7 hours (something like that) tearing my top end apart pretty much learning as i go. I'm almost to the heads. I guess I have to go find a power steering pump puller just to get to the stupid bolt behind it. That held me up for a while. After that i can pull off that...

    Well how do you run yours? And do you have your egr blocked off? If you can throw up some engine bay pics that'd be awesome. I still have some things to button up besides the head gasket.

    Yea i just don't fell like bothering with it. We don't have a garage yet and it's been raining the past 2 weeks straight. Maybe I'll get ambitious enough one day and actually start tearing it down

    Turbo kit finished!!! But so is the head gasket too i think

    i just went to the shop and he said he gave me a safe tune... rich with little timing. It could be possible that after i put the msd box the car could have been leaning out a little more because he was trying to tune it with all the spark blow-out, i have no idea just a thought. He said it would...

    So should I just do the gaskets and hope that everything else on my high mileage motor holds up?
