It took travis over a year to tell everyone what he ran at the track and even then it was like pulling teeth to get more nformation, so does his silence now surprise anyone?

Thought I would chime in here since my car is being talked about...lol I'm really disappointed that my car is down! It sucks that both of our cars our out of commission and we're riding around in our "baby mobile." Everytime we try to dig ourselves out of a mess with our cars, something just gets dumped right back on us. I told Travis the other day, we had to pick the most expensive hobby out there...lol Having a new baby doesn't make anything any easier. I know Travis' car will be fixed first since it's been down so long, but it SUCKS!!! lol That means I have to go without my car and you know that he sure as hell isn't going to let me drive the Z when it's fixed! lol Glad I got to add in some info, not that it made any difference.

Also, I love how Dyltone has come out of the woodworks again to start more $hit!!!! What's new right?

^^^Well from Travis' drifting in the school parking lots after hours, the Z now needs a new clutch and flywheel. It also needs tires majorly!! lol

^^LOL....I've seen that vid before. I can pretty much breathe easy knowing my stuff would never come apart like that...

Naw, the Z just needs a clutch/flywheel for right now. I can make due with what's left of the tread on the tires....

It's sat for a while, just been to busy with everything else that haven't had time to pay attention to it. But it's time to get her back on the road again, and then the tC will get looked into over the weekend.

It has nothing to do with drifting or non-tightened lugs. It was actually at an auto-cross event. The lug nuts he was given or bought (whatever) were the wrong thread for the wheels, so when he tightened them down, they weren't secure, so at the first real shearing force, they just popped off.

It was on www.standardshift.com. I'd point you to a better link, but from repeated use, I'm "forbidden" from accessing their forum at work. Ahh well.

Found this on another forum though: http://boards.ign.com/cars_lobby/b51...13/r143834204/

LOL...not likely. I've had the car for a good 6 or so months, going to do it old school style. Probably some 20's, paint it black, and dark tint and be done.
