Maybe I should try another motor just to see what happens?
If you can hear it cycling why would you put in a new motor?

Sippin on that haterade!

lol... I screwed it up even more when I tried to relive tension on the LIM by loosening the bolts.

I'm going to need to take all the bolts out again and bolt it back up.

Let's do it. I'm headed to Austin this weekend to hang out with Claudia so we may give you a shout if you are in town. Hopefully she will be cool with letting me mod on Sunday, since I kind of promised I would go this weekend without modding. Two full weekends without installing something is killing me.

Grungepup is off the following weekend and we are going to install his new headlights and oil pressure gauge.

Oh, and I got the 411 on the Aermotive pump upgrade from bumblebeerx8. I also found it on my new favorite parts site, www.autoplicity.com for $133.00 I got the Derale fan and cooler kit I bought from them for $50.00 cheaper than I could find it anywhere else.

This is so dumb where are people getting these ideas from? The first time I saw this I was at Fort Hood and there's a couple of them. I saw Reese's, Hershey's and M&M cars. All with ridiculously big rims and raised suspension. Looks awful.

My buddy had a Bug in high in high school that would beat up on 5.0's and Z28's. It was a total sleeper. The only thing that gave it away was the fact that it was louder than an uncorked rotary.
