pecs. my car understers too.

UNTILL I KICK THE SHIT OUT OF THE CLUTCH GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


serious, it just keeps pushing into the turn untill i can get the rear to break loose.

i saw you and i never heard any clutch kick from you even after i said something.

if your worried about your clutch try shift locking it while you toss the weight around (like a rally car does)

my little bro does it very well on his stock suspension

well i finally sat down with my wife and talked about it and $150 bucks is just not feasable.it would cost me around $250 bucks to get me and my car there and drive, not to mention food and that.


if i could get a car dolly at a descent price(around 50 bucks) i might be able to make it happen but its not looking good.

u-haul rents them for 45 bucks a day but it would be a 2 day rental due to the drive time and gas in the truck it would be the same price as paying the mineral wells express. if i had a job i would do it in a heart beat.but my wife said if i really wanted to i could but it would put me titling my ae86 off for a few months.i'm torn i really want to go but if my cars titled i can drive to the next one in oct.



if anyone has any other ideas im all ears!!! maybe someone might have a dolly laying around?

From what I heard somebody recommend go to the one that close on sunday. Then rent it for Saturday and return it Sunday. Since the close sunday they will ask you to leave it there. So you just return it before monday. I never try so not sure if it gonna work. :lol:

i have been looking at there car dolly's but norther tool wants 1200 bucks for there's and 900 bucks at harbor freight.

i can build the one identical to the northern tool one for 200 bucks or so.

but this still dont get me there sunday. i'm highly depressed.....

if i had the cash i would pay the express. but i guess you gotta pay to play.


but like i was saying i need one anyways for the future. chances are im going to break stuff at the track.

i think im going to use a set of rear wheel bearing hub assemblies from a front drive gm full size like my mc and use 2" square tubing to tie them together with a flat plate flange welded to the ends. then build the wheel box on top of it. i should be able to get it done pretty cheap.

fuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!


my motor is milkshaked.....


it wasnt a couple days ago but i think the headgasket's been gone since i bought the car.

it was real hard to start and would miss real bad all the way 3500 but once it was there it would scream just fine.

well my brother and i started swapping parts to see what the problem was and we swapped the afm and o2 sensor. made sure the timing was right and none of the cylinders where dropping spark. so we were highly confused with all the inputs bieng correct all the injectors where firing normally and so on.

all of a sudden it started not bogging and my brother noticed the watery oil coming out the vacuum port on the valve cover so checked the oil and sure enough :x

tomorrow ill compression check it to be for sure but where else could all the water be coming from. and it all makes sence with the problems i was having.

so after the compression test fails tomorrow im pulling the motor and possibly the one out of the ae101 and swapping them out. i got a cometic 1mm headgasket on the shelf here too ill throw on. but now its really not going to be possible to go.
