i appeciate you guy's concern! well it wasnt as
bad as i thought, im here at home now,
they have me on crutches, just got a
broken ankle, and some broke ribs
they are sore as hell. my knee
is cut from the dash but im
fine, but my car.......its not
fixable, i havent really seen her
yet. but that night what glimpses
i did get she wasnt pretty.
but im cool, thanks for the
idea about the card geno,
well look on the bright side, i can sit at
home now, watch some tv,
rallysport had it sounding like i was
in a iron lung....lol hell i could have
fell down the front steps at the
house and got the same injury.
i dont think they were going that fast
he just hooked my bumper and spun me around a
couple of times, the center divider crushed in the
passenger and driverside of the car. i tried to
regain control but he pushed the back of the car
on around. he will buy me a nother car.

I heard that the whole beheading thing is to make the iraqis look bad and take some of the heat off the US for the prisoner scandal crap. I dont know I havent seen the video and dont want to, stupid CNN they are the devil.
Anyways, tacoma glad to hear your ok. How about some pictures of your wrecked car if you can get any?? Maybe some before and after??

i dont think i will be able to get it back,
the car is flat on the sides and
it ripped the nose off and busted the
back hatch out, and the hood is warped and
wont open. the only straight part on it
is the roof

hmm, yea call and let me kno, thanks, i can put that behind my 350, but ill still be searching for the t56 for the 383
mike123
05-18-2004, 09:31 PM
if the 5spd is a T-5 i dont "think" he wants it considering ive been told the T-5's wernt made to be used with the 350's

You can use the T5 with the 350 but if you beat on it alot your going to kill the thing. As long as you take it easy and its in good shape you should be fine.
ridge_runner
05-18-2004, 10:37 PM

supercharger runs off the pulley's which take power from the engine, a turbo runs off the exhaust gas which makes it's power from the engine waste and doesn't take any power from the engine at all.

mr ridge runner... you dont need a new driveshaft for your camaro. If you have a 4 spd automatic, a t5, or a t56, you can use any fbody driveshaft from 1984-2002. That includes aluminum ones found in the 1LE and high performance 4th gens. If you find a cheap LS1 aluminum driveshaft, its a direct bolt in, should take like 10 mins to do, includes jacking up the car and throwing it on stands.

damn tacoma, youre pretty understanding concidering what happend, lol, thought you were gonna start to connect with and forgive the vette guy completely for a second there. love the part about falling down the stairs would be just as bad. guess thats a testament to the toughness of our girls huh? you may not have walked, but you hobbled away from an accident like that, your either one hard core mother f****r or the car was ;) but glad youre alright, try not to take the money grubbing on here personal or nothing, i just wanna share your future wife ;)

oh and my two cents on the deal gen posted, i havent seen the vid, i probly should before i say anything, but i really dont think the US killed him, they might have found the body, and staged the video, in order to make the terrorists look bad, but we didnt kill him, heres why. typical terrorist tricks for treating prisoners, are brutal, painful, in-humain disfiguring tactics, that leave people broken and crippled for life. they have no problem with it, they are animals, the prisin guards in the us army are untrained, mostly reservists, normal people, sure have a CIA person tell them to strip down a prisoner and have a little fun at his expence, they dont have a problem, but you tell them to cut off an americans head for presidential approval ratings, are they realy gonna do it?? would you??? there are alot of un answered questions, but nothing there made me doubt what happend, and if i was over there id be killing the prisoners in their cells, let alone the ones on the street. but thats just me.

Turbo's are a lot more efficient.. Superchargers can use up to 50hp, just to turn the thing...
