good to see your back. ever thought of the nitto555's. i have those on my car and they stick really good. or if u plan to go all out i would suggest some drag radials. i have seen drag radials take a half a second off of a car before.

good to have ya back.. how was the trip?

i was looking at getting yokohama ES100's. not too expensive, but yet still nice. the vacation was great. went cliff jumping, horseback riding, go-kart driving (don't have that around kc), and i just relaxed in the lake. a great break from working 40 hours a week.

Good to have you back, freak... it was getting dull 'round here.

freakonaleash1187 · #6 07-22-2004, 11:29 AM

it will be dull for another week. after that, i will hopefully be home all the time until christmas break comes. wait, i will probably go out of town for thanksgiving break too. i just noticed you have the carbing strut bar 1via, how is that? i was thinking about getting that one sometime.

It's great... but I had to remove my throttle plate cover... it sits so close to the engine! But now I can finally shut my hood down w/o forcing it!!!

... When did it get dull around here?

I get to go on vacation from the 29th-2nd... But I may be able to get one once in a while up in Cow-Pie Central... Also know as Vermont.

I HATE vacations... Waste of money.

But I am getting tired of working 45hours+ every week... On top of football... So it may be fun.

(Everyday routine:
7-9am : Football Work-Outs
10-5 : Work
5-8 : Football Practice)

Now THATS shitty.

Ok...here I go...gunna attempt to be trendy...piece out, yo...how'd I do?

Dude...I just put a pair of Goodyear GT-HRs on my car in the rear and they're crazy sticky. Plus, they're wider and a tad taller (225/40/R16 front and 245/40/R16 rear) so my car looks kinda like a hot rod. I like it...can't wait to lower it.

i am back.....again. this vacation wasn't as fun as the last one, but better than i thought it was going to be. i really really missed my baby girl. glad to have her back to drive.

DeleriousZ · #13 08-04-2004, 12:19 AM

What-up, freaky?

freakonaleash1187 · #15 08-04-2004, 12:44 AM

freaky? thats a new one. well, i was going to make a new thread for this story, but i will just tell it right now. this happened yesterday (monday), i was driving down a road and i heard a tink tink tink, i thought it was just a car around me. but then all my warning lights came on like my alternator went out, so i was just like damn it, my alternator went out again.

well, i looked at my engine temp and it rose to about 1/4" below H, at that point i was like shit. so i pulled into a gas station. i popped the hood and checked the coolant, looked fine. i did a quick look around and didn't notice anything (of course, everything is hidden).

so i decide to turn on my car to see if i can hear or see anything. i turn it on and i hear a buzzing. my little electric fan is on, first time ever with me. i look at the engine bay and my big fan isn't turning. i thought, that isn't good, no fan turning -> water pump isn't pumping. so i look closer and my damn accessory belt broke. so i am fucked.

i go home, buy a belt, and change it this morning (tuesday). it didn't squeak on the way to work, but did on the way home, so i am going to tighten it tomorrow. oh, but there is more. when i changed the belt, there was a couple of chips in my underdrive pulley that probably cut away at the belt. so know i have to buy a new underdrive pulley........oh man, i guess i will have to settle for unorthodox, damn it. lol.

there, end of story, hope you enjoyed.
