hopefully you listen better to them than you do us IF they give you a shot big IF and hopefully for your sake they arent members here on thirdgen.org....or ever frequent the boards..

no offense man but you have alot of learning and reading up to do before you think about doing an engine swap at all .....you need to worry about keeping the engine you have now in running working order

if i were you id look into subframe connectors and maybe get the body fixed on the car completely and a new paint job...or a nice set of wheels ..

See? I won't use the word "untrainable" any more....


"He could possible give me a intern spot on the team"


Well...everyone needs to have goals...maybe this way you could learn about actually wrenching on a car...and take away some knowledge to use in the future on your engine upgrade...

I am an undying optimist

You are kidding right? I couldn't get through this thread without a few beers

Ahh...keep in mind I didn't venture a guess as to what I am optimistic about

Subframe connectors wouldn't be a bad idea for a less expensive mod...and cover them in fur to keep them well protected

Might not be a bad idea...if you could learn to listen to what people have to say.

Tech content: drive the 305 until it dies, then swap in something better that you can afford...don't take money away from the spelling & dating lessons that are obviously working out so well for you

I just wanted to thank everyone who follows any thread that Shane is involved with...it is the most amusing stuff on TGO...stretching back to June of 2003...coincidentally to when he registered...

Special thanks to the moderators who dash all over the forums trying to keep up

Shane, I suggest that you NOT sell your car...it is far TOO valuable to my mental well being...

You are so right man...this is some of the best entertainment on the face of the earth. I have never laughed so hard so many times in my life. Comedians get paid big money to be funny and some of the best one liners I've ever heard came in some of Shanes threads. This guy will make posts here in a matter of minutes apart in different areas of this forum and then bounce back and forth answering them all. I have caught him even staring at locked threads for several minutes (Who's online).

Someday we will all find out that he is really not 17 yrs old but some obese baldheaded coke bottle eyed greaseball who is sitting at his comp getting high on pissing people off. He probably drives a beaten down pinto and collects welfare checks and smokes pall mall cigs. But alas...I will say that he probably is who he says he is. Thats why he's so entertaining.
