Re: Car for sale

Just a toy, owned everything i've ever wanted to this point in my life, sold them and moved onto my next interest. nothing different here, with my daughter getting older i want to shift to more family oriented stuff as opposed to keeping us at a track all the time. Not many life memories can be made she can take with her as she ages watching me race LOL!!

It's a hellava bargin, tough when it's that amount at once as opposed to working on them for yrs, but this is definately a case of too good to pass up since it's done, everything is there and at this point could not be duplicated for even double of what i'm asking. Nitrous set up alone was close to a grand in itself for all the braided lines, sensors/shut off's etc...so the motor cannot be hurt.

Re: Car for sale

sorry to see it go, but it is going for the right reasons. You ever run those 10 point bars I traded you years ago? Never seen a pic of them in the car. Also still stock springs or do you have the trick springs up front, I'm thinking my stockers are holding me back just a bit still. Front pops with the 90/10s but not like my buddies 2nd gen with 90/10s and trick springs. You notice much of a difference or was it swapped when you did the struts as well.

LOL, it's just a stupid car Just time to close this chapter for awhile, move onto the next and go from there, cars and tracks will always be around so wanna get the family time in while i can enjoy it instead of trying to plan family stuff around my racing.

Never got the bars in, still sitting in the garage and actually with the 4th gen dash, i need to have the bars custom bent so they fall out right where i want them, just never been real excited bout gutting everything to have it done.

there is a huuge difference between stock springs and trick springs. I started with just 90/10 struts and stock springs, then put in scb trick springs, and now with this Dart block i had to upgrade to BBC trick springs.....huge difference over stockers.
