damn an altima coupe would make a great rwd sleeper
By the way, what was going on with Roadkill? Someone mentioned some type of drama.
MCM and roadkill sound like they're gonna collab.
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;48060135]By the way, what was going on with Roadkill? Someone mentioned some type of drama.[/QUOTE] some fan made a comment suggesting roadkill vs fast n loud. Roadkill posts it and goes hell yeah. fast n loud host goes and posts some arrogant snobby post, roadkill doesnt shut up about it for 3 days, MCM goes "HEY GUYS I WANNA PLAY" and here we are now.

I guess they think we have nothing better to do. I mean, it's not like we're busy building 5 cars at once for the new season of Fast N' Loud or racing up a 14,000-foot mountain at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb right now or anything. We've got priorities! But, if we did have the time... what do y'all think?[/quote] Is this the snobbish post? Just sounds snarky to me, obviously he knows their fanbase knows Roadkill.
I mean Fast N loud is sorta right. Their schedule is probably packed for the next bit as their season would have been planned. They didn't say no though
Fast n loud's restaurant sucks. Go ahead and go. Just only too look at the cars in the parking lot.
The host is a tool
aaron kaufman is cool I guess but richard rawlings is a huge prick
[t]http://i.imgur.com/Gq3Yg9j.jpg[/t] How do you even... I've driven past this for the past two days. I had to get a picture this morning, it just baffles me. I really hope that was a student driver and they just took the sign off the top of the car. If so, somebody didn't pass their test.
Kind of looks like someone else hit the driver's side and pushed them into the next car.
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;48060883]Kind of looks like someone else hit the driver's side and pushed them into the next car.[/QUOTE] That sounds a lot more reasonable. Probably an intoxicated driver, then.

So, the other day, I offered $600 to a customer of mine for her '99 Mazda RX-7 for use as a project car. She has a 2014 Ford Taurus SHO with under 10k miles, and an '09 F-150 with under 20k miles in addition to her '68 Chevy Truck (I don't know which one) she sold to a coworker for $1k. She's trying to sell everything in an estate sale within the next two months to move into a smaller home after her son and husband passed away this year. I'm sure it's going to be a bitch, especially with no experience, but a buddy of mine and I are determined if she agrees to the deal to yank the motor out and put a 350 small block in it just to say we could and have some fun. If nothing else, and more realistically, it'll become our drinking-night lawn ornament project.
turns out the TPS is not giving a signal nor my cam sensor. I'll check it out tomorrow

[QUOTE=c0nk3r;48061138]sounds really original and exciting[/QUOTE] Not really original, I know a lot of people have done it before; but I really, really want to do it, even if I know it's going to be a massive pain in the ass for two drunk rednecks.
Why not toss a mopar in there?
Because my mechanic next door has a few spare ones and a couple Ford heads for about $200? :v: [editline]26th June 2015[/editline] Granted, they may, or most likely won't, be functional 100%. ... #Roadkill.
Dude ford heads won't go on a 350.....
Prety sure you could snag a 360 out of an old dodge van for about 200 in working order
Small block dodges are ehhh as far as small blocks go. Sure, you can make big power as with any mopar engine, it'll just cost you an arm and a leg. an SBC is probably the way to go, its cheap power. [editline]27th June 2015[/editline] SBD's are also MASSIVE for a small block, and probably won't fit in an rx7

Nice FD's fetch up to at least 15k now, please just sell it to a good home if you're gonna ruin it.

Don't put a 350 in it because 350s are boring. Put something stupider in. Do a slant 6, Serj can show you how to turbo it. :v:
Idk, I think an aluminum headed, 10ish:1 small block with a big cam would be cool.......

An LS would be cooler though, even a 5.3 or something [editline]27th June 2015[/editline] MY MERGE
[QUOTE=c0nk3r;48061138]sounds really original and exciting[/QUOTE] Would you rather he shoved a JZ in there?
Aluminum 5.3's aren't super expensive, there's absolutely no reason to not megasquirt an LS motor. This isn't 1970, EFI isn't magical wizardry and it's piss easy to do if you're smart enough to use a forum.
