that sucks. what about replacing the rag joint with a u joint steering shaft.

Venom351R · Feb 19, 2012

if I do have to replace it Im going to with a flaming river steering shaft. They are pretty narrow

Venom351R · Feb 20, 2012

Well this came in today, Hope it bolts up much easier then the headers to the heads are. If it looks a little more beefy its b/c its 3"

gaslight · Feb 22, 2012

wow Travis you've put a lot of parts into the car in the last year.

Venom351R · Feb 22, 2012

I had to get a new mid pipe anyway b/c of the long tubes. I'm dealing with more issues then progress at this point

FEARNO1 · Feb 22, 2012

let me know when you want some help

gaslight · Feb 22, 2012

We all know you have some issues. ha ha

Venom351R · Feb 23, 2012

I will fred I have not forgotten about it . The most help I will need is when everything is ready to be installed. I did resolve one issue. The bolt holes and header flange bolts would not fit the ARP head studs I had or the percy locking bolts from the other headers that came with the car. The bolt holes on each were to small. Sent an E-mail to ed curtis and found out the bolt hole size that those heads actually use are 5 /16th and a chrysler SB bolt size and not the standard Ford 3/8 bolt size.

I'm hoping that by unbolting the tranny mount I'll get a little more twist out of the engine and be able to slide the passenger side header up in and I'll have to get a flaming river steering shaft to resolve the fitment issues on the drivers side.

Did you see any snow this year? I haven't shoveled even once this year.

Trav, you ever gonna be able to drive that R or just like working on it ad infinitum? By the time you get it done you won't want to drive it in case something breaks.

Dan, suck it. If NY is for fags, jersey is for their girlfrends. We're still STANLEY CUP CHAMPS!!!

Seriously folks, hope you all are doing well and are happy. Spring is right around the corner.

gaslight · Feb 26, 2012

hope you are doing well also.

Venom351R · Feb 26, 2012

I'm going to drive the F'ing snot out of it as soon as its running and tuned. I'm going to take all this frustration down to epping and dump the clutch at 5,000 RPM and rip off a 11.5

Thats the plan anyway

gaslight · Feb 28, 2012

Breakage be DAMNED!

Venom351R · Feb 29, 2012

Thats what I'm saying. Thats how I was driving it before, just now its going to have a lot more nut behind it.

Bryan likes nuts....the sweaty kind

gaslight · Mar 1, 2012

no I like the salty kind.
Sucks having all this snow back today. Good thing I put the snow blower back on the tractor Monday night. Took today off so I wouldn't have to deal with this crap all day at work then have to deal with it at home. Driving in this for at least 12 hours a day, including the commute, really sucks.

Venom351R · Mar 1, 2012

No issues driving in or home from work today, then again the STI with snow tires is like a tank. Ive yet to see a snow storm that has pushed the limits of this thing in the snow. Does suck that we go through pretty much the whole winter season with nothing for snow fall and now we get dumped on. But its going to rain this weekend so hopefully this stuff does not stick around for to long.

gaslight · Mar 1, 2012

spring is on the 20th. Daylight savings starts on the 11th.
My subaru also does pretty good in the snow with the snow tires but you still get pushed around with the mounds of snow and slush. Took it easy this morning just going a few miles up the road to the post office. The crowned roads suck.

Venom351R · Mar 3, 2012

yeah we are getting towards the end of it now. Off to Mass to the Patriots hall of fame today. Stopped in and talked to chris for awhile yesterday.

gaslight · Mar 3, 2012

wow everything went dark in here.

gaslight · Mar 3, 2012

So whats Chris up to...5' 3" ha ha
Haven't seen him in a long time.

Venom351R · Mar 4, 2012

yeah whats up with this new lay out? Chris is still a midget. Patriots hall of fame was really awesome. Lots of really current stuff in there it was not just things from a long time ago
