BWX · Jun 10, 2006, 06:40 AM

CDsDontBurn · Jun 10, 2006, 06:41 AM

guess he can't take the heat about what a sports car is really all about.....performance, not luxury

Sandok · Jun 10, 2006, 06:43 AM

BWX · Jun 10, 2006, 06:45 AM

It's "pick on Sandok" day.. We used to have them as kids... maybe that's why I am so demented sometimes.

the last corvette thread you made lasted for along time. i don't think i was a mod anymore by that time though.

BWX · Jun 10, 2006, 06:47 AM

Sanfok you should open that thread back up and re-name it "Corvettes/shoes thread"

That would confuse some people.

CDsDontBurn · Jun 10, 2006, 06:48 AM

lol....my user title got filtered out

.

it's not hard to guess what i had put in it

CDsDontBurn · Jun 10, 2006, 06:49 AM

seriously though.....everybody has said all kinds of different things many a time, but that one word gets filtered out? damn

Sandok · Jun 10, 2006, 06:50 AM

I think you were mate

I do remeber you closing one thread about eurobox vs american cars so it must have been the corvette thread

You guys sooooooooo missunderstand me... I want to buy a nice car and the ONLY cars I'm considering are american!

Ahhh, the love of internet missunderstanding!

CDsDontBurn · Jun 10, 2006, 09:10 AM

if that's the case, why don't you look into a Lincoln Town Car, or a Cadillac STS? those are nice american cars IMO

. smooth ride and everything, right up your alley Sandok!

Dark Lord · Jun 10, 2006, 09:11 AM

christ man, you confuse the shit out of everyone and then wonder why we get upset with you?

cd's, your forgetting those are "old peoples cars"

CDsDontBurn · Jun 10, 2006, 09:13 AM

an "old people's car" in my books is a 1996 Cadillac DeVille

Dark Lord · Jun 10, 2006, 09:14 AM

lets not forget the joke of a car, the snoop deville

holy god, i just found this on the same website

thats a 36 inch rim. 3 freaking foot rim!

CDsDontBurn · Jun 10, 2006, 09:18 AM

lol....those are 1980's South Central LA style gangsta rides holmes! runnin' the hydralics and everytin'. know wut i be talkin' 'bout esse?! that there is the shit homie!

Dark Lord · Jun 10, 2006, 09:23 AM

heh. theres a guy that ive seen running around here with a beautifully restored early/mid 60 pontiac with a very healthy engine in it.

downside being, he put hydraulics on it and i saw him bounceing it all over in the gas station parking lot.

the only time i could ever see hydraulics being useful is when my car sits so damn low, i need that extra 5 inches of boost to get over the speedbumps and up driveways.

CDsDontBurn · Jun 15, 2006, 06:34 AM

sandok's siggy quote has been revoked for an even funnier one

hahahaha.....i'm a smiely wh0r3

hahahahaha x2.......wh0r3 = STDs

CDsDontBurn · Jun 16, 2006, 12:18 AM

so in class today, a guy walks in late to class, opens up his laptop, and attempts to start taking notes. because he is late, the first line he writes is

"comission stock options are killed based"

Dark Lord · Jun 16, 2006, 12:24 AM

so ummm, i sorted through a box of carburetors a couple of nights ago, and found a suitable replacemnt for the one on the vette right now. turns out that one on the vette is from a 73 pickup, and god only knows where the correct one is now.

soooo, looks like ill be rebuilding the one i found, which is for a 68 vette, 327/350hp. hopefully i get a little performance boost seeing as its going on a 350/300hp motor.

now i just need some time, patiance, an exploded diagram, and a "how to" and ill be all set.

CDsDontBurn · Jun 16, 2006, 12:45 AM

get a job. then that way you can start saving up for buying new parts

Dark Lord · Jun 16, 2006, 02:37 AM

oh the amount of money i need just for the motor alone with blow through a major chunk of change. figure 10k-ish. i dont know a damn thing about motors, so i sure as hell wouldnt build a real hi performance one on my first go. im looking at 500bhp/400rwhp as my target goal.

well....if that's the case, you can still get a job for things like new suspension, wheels, gas tank, fuel pump, platinum spark plugs, MSD ignition kit, new upholstery, new paint job, etc. just leave the engine for last. everything else needs to be tuned before you put a powerhouse of an engine in your ride

Dark Lord · Jun 16, 2006, 04:29 AM

nope, the whole ride is going to be re-done. basicly the only thing thats staying the same is most of the body, and about 80% of the interior.

i want to go with the 500hp motor, 6spd manual trans, complete suspension overhaul (top of the line components), 255mm of rubber (10 inches) up from my current 225 (8.8 inches) 3 inch fender flares, stock speedometer/tach recalibrated for the new setup. stock map holder, mostly stock guage cluster (cut out for cd player) C6 corvette seats, ~2000 watt sound system. then theres everything else that would need to be replaced/upgraded along the way. new rear bumpers, re-chromeing the front bumper and trim pieces, custom hood, custom exhaust, so on and so forth.

to pull off the whole package, im figureing conservativly, ill be priceing it out to around 45-50,000 dollars to pull it off.

besides, before i can even paint it, i need to do a bunch of other body work to it. the fibreglass has a bunch of spiderweb cracks in it. something thats pretty common for older vettes. plus theres a bunch of old repair work thats starting to show through that needs to be redone.

once thats done, if i pay some one to paint the car i can expect anywhere between 5-10K just for the paint job.

so ya, i try to do everything cheap on the car right now and not invest any serious money into it for the time being.

CDsDontBurn · Jun 16, 2006, 04:34 AM

i was just saying do it expensive the first time you come across a repair/upgrade to have it done right the first time

.......much like in computers

Dark Lord · Jun 16, 2006, 04:43 AM

ah yes yes. which is exactly why im doing it cheap right now. most everything im replaceing/repairing right now will be yanked off when i rebuild, so it just becomes a waist of cash.

CDsDontBurn · Jun 16, 2006, 05:03 AM

how would it be a waste of cash if you spend money on repairs, and then later on buy a new complete unit?

your gas tank for example. you said you had repaired it, and only a few days later you found a new tank for not much more. that is what i'm talking about.
