Hahaha. New I'd get you guys to come in here. Just messin with ya, you make fun of me enough.

 

You must have a good sense of humour to take the constant ribbing you get.How the hell does one get to 10 000 posts? How many keyboards have you gone through?

 

Let's just say my laptop has been through a rough time as of late. If it gets turned off, I'm chit outta luck cause it won't turn back on for like a day.

 

I don't got nothing against Mark.. its Hans and Franz over there that bugs me lol

 

lol

 

i think Hughes is loving having Mark around cause we havent been raggin on his girly sunfire lately, cause we have been to busy raggin on Mark.

 

I've been studying his posts for awhile -- I think Mark A. Shields is not a person but a program designed to make 25 posts per day forever.

Interesting we can project how many posts Mark A. Shields will make over a given period of time. With a monthly average of 750 posts, in six months that will be 4500, in a year 9000 posts and in ten years 90,000 posts.

Thats alot of posts.

Better get a spare keyboard eh ?

RP.

 

What can I say? I love my country!

 

Mark A. Shields almost has as many posts as the entire Ontario Regional forum.... I think that says it all.

 

Oh man, I love that. So much so, check out my sig.

 

welcome to the board mark and keep posting

 

lol

So what, if a sunfire is a girl's car.

 

yeah but hughes is a guy and he gave up a TA to get the thing.

 

 

Hughes will have a faster thidgen and no one will know until I drive it to the track if everyrthing works out it will be in the spring. I am going to follow Jay's example.

 

i reckon my car will take you down hughes

 

Brad and Jay where did you get your blocks? and how much did you pay

 

My block came out of a conversion van.... it's a 4-bolt "crate". I paid $100 for the engine, and the block is the only part I used.

You need to find a car first.

 

I will build the engine first then find any thirdgen auto car

 

$1325 for the motor, which already had crane roller rockers, heavy duty valve springs and 461 casting double hump heads and a freash rebuild. its got a good cam but i dont know the specs. the block is casting number 3970010. 4 -bolt mains, high nickel content (makes it more durable).

 

Brad I thought you built that motor and kept it a secret

 

Paul, so why did you sell the TA to get a Sunfire? just wondering.

 

i didnt build it from the ground up. i dont have time to do that, plus i would be learning as a i go. i had to bolt alot of stuff on it (inatke and carb for one), and such and put a new torque convertor in the tranny as well. i swapped it myself, well actually jason and i did, cause its at least a 2 man job. the swap was the secret part, not the actually building of the thing.

 

I sold the trans am because I could not afford to spend the money to get it the way I wanted and other stuff came up so I leased the sunfire and when my lease is up my insurance rates will have dropped and then I can get something good again but the plan is to pick up a cheap thirdgen and build a motor that will run a 13 and use the sunfire as my daily driver. My cheaoest insurance quote on the Trans am was $8000cdn and I shopped around.

 

$8000?????? how many freaking tickets do you have??? and how can you afford toinsure a new car then? new cars are expensive on the insurance too.

 

holy crap.

Geez, I'm now only payin $120 every 6 months for the IROC. it's listed as parked though.

 

That must have been with collision...

 

if you dont have a engine or a car 13s are gonna get pricey real quick. if you can find a great deal on an engine with some good stuff on it, like i did, you will have a good start. but remember, i havent exactly added it up yet but, i am in a little over 2000 for this motor swap and i did it myself. that includes the motor, the torque convertor and assorted gaskets, plugs, oil, and other parts like that. also remember that i already had headers, and a performer intake, a distributor with all MSD stuff, a carb, a tranny, and a car. building a car to go 13s with having nothing to start with will take some serious cash, especially if you want to license it and drive it on the street.

 

Hey Brad are those Crane RRs for sale yet ?

RP.

 

hahahah......nope. i like the crane rollers

 

Hay i am still waiting for 10 reasons.

I loved my visit to Canada, (Niagara Falls), on Labor day weekend. The only thing I can say that sucks about Canada is gas prices. Holy snit you guys are getting porked! Oh yeah, that casino sucks too. Took my damn money.

 

Bein in college sucks as cheap beer is what one can afford. Though I've been pampering myself lately with some finer stuff.
