    Ha! Yeah. I did notice that. Off camera, I thought another guy was going to run the red light he was so nervous.

    Also, notice I let off a LONG ways away from the light too. The drum brakes give me a thrill but at my age, that's not the kind of thrill I need! :eek:

    I dunno why, but I had to bleed the brakes again. There's no external leakage. They're might be something seeping passed the seals in the master cylinder. I just need to save up for the disc brake setup and be done with it.

    So if you're stopped at a light and see me coming up behind you, you might wanna consider easing forward a bit or just run the red light! :D (j/k they're not that bad)

    Rick, some of those still pics might be worthy to donate for the 2007 calendar...esp the one with the black hood looking at you at an angle (I think it was the first picture) and of course the engine pic is too cool :D

    My drum brakes do the same thing. I am hoping to swap to disc brakes in the next few weeks.

    Rick, It is a blast to go for a ride at work. Make my day better. The car has a killer stance to but the headers sure look low. I will need another ride by friday so I will be playing this again. Thanks

    I'm glad everyone enjoyed "The Ride" and is an inspiration to some.

    Words can't describe the feeling of finally getting something on the road after so long - thanks in large part to the fine folk on this board for their inspiration, willingness to share their knowledge, and their encouraging comments.


    Hopefully (soon), there'll be more "in car" and "out car" videos to come. (y)

    "on the road" but not "street legal"

    Come one, man, figure out what you want...a screamer at the track or something to cruise the "strip" with...You can NOT have both with EFI, Nitrous, and slicks :rolleyes:

    Oh, this one is "Drag Strip Only".... maybe. ;)

    Really, I've only just begun. Once the Nitrous is hooked up and I have a good tune on it, it will see a lot of track time.

    I'd love to find a great deal on a small bumpered V8 with A/C that just needs a paint job for street usage.

    I've seen too many people on here find "deals of the century" like what I'm looking for. I just have to be patient (and ahead of our Rep, Doug! :rofl:).

    By the way, I let Anna watch the vid, and she said "Kick A$$!!!"

    And she thought MY Mav was fast...

    You tell her I said, "Potty Mouth!"

    Something tells me that Anna wouldn't mind making a few trips down the track. I remember seeing that one picture of her burnout. :D

    brakes sounds like what my issue was...master cylinder.

    I agree...disc would be nice.....but I would not necessarily call a person stupid for having drums :rofl: call them "inertia challenged" :D
