Progress Thread Pete is checking out these valve covers

So much has changed down there, is the old florida theater still there? Last I knew it was a dinner theater, when I was a kid you could get in on a summer matinee for a hand full of RC bottle caps

Sarasota is a nice day trip when the weather gets cooler. The city is not the same at all. All fancy high rises most at a million . Nice walking areas , and food.

 

[General karthief]

There used to be the 'depo' area where the train tracks used to cut through town and cross main st, friday and saturday nights had live bands outside on the patio area.

Collinite 845 is the best wax/sealer I have ever used. I am a buffin waxin freak that loves a great shine. I have always been a Meguiars guy, but now I have this. My flip phone does not take real clear pics but lets give this a try.

 

[Potomus Pete]

I wish I had a picture from when I first got my car. The paint looked ready for the junk yard.Nothing like now. All flat washed out , and the bumpers were a different color. I used this brand off the internet and primed, paint , and clear. They dont match exact but I will take it for fifty bucks.

Boca Grande Florida.....A cool unspoiled island . Had to get a day trip in.

 

[General karthief]

Oh hell yeah, been there many times, love those banyan trees.

Saw some live music tonight where we went to eat. First time in a long time since this CoViD BS!!

Woke up to heavy rain with this pre hurricane brewing over Florida . I never took the grill off to clean and wax under here. Look at that nice finish. No rust strangely enough. The water must pour down here. No wonder pillars rot out with the leaves and dirt. Going to Home Depot for some stainless screws.

Forget the screws they should be black. Im waiting on a 134 change over from CJ ponys. Been a week with no e mails

 

[Potomus Pete]

Cj Ponys 302 numbers ...I ordered a AC Change over with the hoses. compressor. you know the one. Still not here with fuel pressure gauge. I think these numbers are good. They are the only stickers on my car.

Some lady in my neighborhood has an aluminum driveshaft from Ford Racing. Still in the box new. Would you guys buy it for 150 bucks. What could go wrong with this when in my car , and is it worth the hassle.

 

[Rdub6]

I’d buy it if I were you. It’s over $300 brand new from a retailer.
I have no experience with them yet, but I hear it’s a decent upgrade!
If nothing else, but it, sell it for $225, and pocket a few bucks!

 

[Mstng93SSP]

Worth it. Buy it. I have one in all 3 cars I own.

 

[Potomus Pete]

Not much chance of vibration?? Pre balanced?? I think this lady is going to drop the price more...Im holding off for a bit to see

 

[Mstng93SSP]

$150 is a deal. If you want to offer $100 go for it, but if you sit around and wait someone else is gonna grab it. Yes they are balanced. Virtually zero chance of vibration from a new aluminum FRP driveshaft.

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

I have one and have zero vibration.

 

[Potomus Pete]

Besides counting how do I know how many splines??

Old clutch alignment tool rolling around in your toolbox. It's plastic. It came with the last clutch kit you ordered.


Buy the driveshaft. I bought mine when they still sold for that price. It's still in the car. I make almost 600 ft/lbs of torque, wrecked a T5, and 3 clutches since then.
