i know i know, ive been gone for a bit, this working thing cuts into my fun time, but at least i got some money again. just registered the car and got her out of the garage earlier this week, and she showed her anger with me on the first day out. backed her into the garage and blew both rear brake lines, at least i was already stopped. but dont worry thats already fixed. so whats new with everybody? looks like alot of newbees too
 
Wondered what rock you were under.

I got a 2nd compressor from JA...so I can install my chicken mod. :cool:
Long tubes are going in soon, same old same old.
 
My rotors are about the only things shakin' these days.

LOL Gotta love it. I go through the cheap house brand rotors like butter. This set has actually lasted me a bit longer, probably partly due to the fact that the car has been parked. LOL I put ceramic pads on the car this last round and for some reason they feel squishy. Not impressed at all. I didn't even realize how bad the brake fade was on these cars until I had to slam on my brakes last year. The pedal just went to the floor and the abs didn't even kick in. :eek:

Best case scenario, I have my eye on another Mark VIII elsewhere that I might pick up if it's still around in a few months. It would be nice to take this car to its limit in the current form though before I decide to go forced induction.

Hope that sums it up for ya chicken. So basically my brakes suck and now I'm looking to go faster. Makes a whole lot of sense right? :p
 
I am keeping my Mark... for now anyway...
woot

I will have it wired different then yours full control of what will come on and when.
Total bypass of the factory crap.
Nice to see you post, you were missed.
 
I do a lot 0-60, I got tired of the up and down.
I know I could turn it off but then what the point of having it?
The last hard fault made me get the wire cutters out.
 
I really want to do this extra compressor. I have one at home. Just need to do some more searching on your posts about it chicken.
 
hi chiken helping michael with cody'sorba they got it out this evening and took a little run around town ifollowed in the gmc incase of trouble. we forgot to tighten the power sterring res cap also not enough coolent in the system so made a run for water when it got to warm but not frying. enjoying not having to get up and drive to work. if you and the lady can make a trip you are welcome to stay. hell i'll make a run to denver if you can fly but chickens aren't good flyers. glad to hear your doing better. jd
