Hahaha, I can’t believe you people think that is real. 🤣

On the other hand I can’t believe someone did that. :bloated:

first we have to see what the wallet damage is from the destroyed torque converter (hopefully its warranty’ed)

its worthless to send the tweecer out for the R/T (datalogging) upgrade and plan a date for tuning if the TC costs $600 to fix and takes 3 weeks for a replacement case to come in

there may be one change for my car next year. I may be picking up a set of these rims so I can get 13" brakes + light wheels.

rims = 15lbs each. on 16" rims. its a REALLY tight fit and you have to trim part of the calaper because the deflection of the rim durring autoX will make it skim the calaper.

i thought your car was green anyways, plus the dried up leaves on the ground show that its the wrong time of year.

Hey is your car still smoking like crazy? i saw you one day i think pulling into starbucks (i think near french rd) parking lot, like a couple of weeks ago.

the relay for my oil pump took a shit (thanks auto zone that one lasted a wopping 3 days) so the pump was not working and that resulted in a LOT!!! of smoke so I bypassed the relay then broke the flexplate. so that is where she stands.

consindering how ugly tauras’ are, id probably do the same. how much would it piss you off to get beat by that tauras if it were actually fast?

cars that have no hope of ever looking good but can be made fast SHOULD make it ugly and ricey.
