Re: Myclone is gone I saw a link to this thread on Turbobuick.com and couldn't believe it. I haven't been here in a while but I had to come back and pay my respects. RIP Myclone. My family's thoughts and prayers go out to yours. Jim

Re: A Random Engine thought after eating late-night Taco Bell food... Sorry - I thought you meant the FMICs were ricey. I debated that in my head for months before I bought one. I even posted that picture and asked for opinions. The look was hard to get used to. I didn't want to paint it...

Re: A Random Engine thought after eating late-night Taco Bell food... Well the point of a front-mount intercooler is to put it in the front where it can get air. Yeah, 'ricers' have made the look popular but people with Turbo Regals have been using them before they were cool. Here's mine...

Re: A Random Engine thought after eating late-night Taco Bell food... Is this the one? http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1320192#post1320192 I think the OP just doesn't understand the purpose of an intercooler. I don't think he really wants to cool his exhaust. Seems like a...

Re: Black/Gray Phoon It's under new management. The "Police Explorer" nazis aren't guarding the gates anymore. It's sponsored by Towne Toyota and McD's. They let lots of newer stuff in. They used to give me a hard time every year, too. This year it was cake. There were a couple of...

Re: Black/Gray Phoon I was at the Tuesday Cruise in Roxbury last night - no Typhoons to be seen. It rained a little before I went down there, but it stayed dry from about 6:15 on. They even gave me a "Sponsor's Choice" trophy! I was shocked. I hadn't even cleaned the car up at all. We can...

Re: My first slow trips down the quarter What version? I've got a few "legal" copies laying around. 95, 98 and XP. Jim

Re: My first slow trips down the quarter True. I missed that part. You gotta stay put otherwise the clock starts ticking. Jim

Re: My first slow trips down the quarter They say the Pro tree simulates a stoplight better thus keeping with the Friday Nite Street Legal Drags theme. I think it makes it unneccessarily harder (but any turbo guy would say that). You still need to stage, but you don't have to worry about...

Re: My first slow trips down the quarter In case you don't know, you can forget about the tree. On Friday nights they run a Pro tree which is very hard to launch against with a turbo. All the ambers light up, then the green. On regular race days and test-n-tune they runa Sportsman tree which...

Re: My first slow trips down the quarter How was Island on Friday? I've been trying to get to a Friday night race since they opened last month. Usually it's not real crowded and you can get as many runs in as you'd like (weather permitting). I'm going to try to get there next Friday (the...

Re: Black/Gray Phoon Very cool! It was nice to 'meet' you. I really wanted to stop in, but the wife was sick and I was getting medication at Shop Rite. I deserved a sarcastic 'nice' because that was really a d*ckhead move. I really thought that lane was longer. But it wasn't sarcastic, so...

This isn't a kill so much as a curiousity as to who it was. Tuesday night I was cruising along Rt. 46 East in Ledgewood (by Cliffs, but in the opposite direction for those familiar with the area). I really was minding my own business, on my way out to pick up a 12-pack and some other stuff...

Re: Insurance problem with GEICO They are adept at taking $800 per year less from me than my prior company so I'm taking my chances. As mentioned, agreed upon value is what you want. I don't remember the distinction between 'agreed' and 'stated' but there is a difference. I have a policy...

Re: Free to a good home - decals I'm pretty sure I ran the 13.7 without the Ultimate or anything other than exhaust. I *think* at that time all I had was the ATR system on it. It shocked the hell out of me, actually. I never expected a sub-14 second timeslip out of it. It was quicker than...

Re: Free to a good home - decals Nice pics. The burgundy T-Type is my brother's car. He and my dad went down but I didn't have time. I'll be going next week though. Jim

Re: Free to a good home - decals Glad to hear it's doing sort of okay. I never could get the thing to run to my satisfaction. It ran okay off idle, but it always idled crappy. It was always fouling 2 plugs, too (don't remember which ones). I think my dad might've mentioned that he did the...

Re: Free to a good home - decals Well, you can do whatever you want with them but I had them made up for the ZR1 center caps. That's why they're in sets of 4. Jim

Re: Free to a good home - decals Cool. I see Eric's Typhoon around once in a while and I think I've seen yours too. They're starting up with the cruise next week right? Jim

Re: Free to a good home - decals I sent the whole shootin' match to hatrik8. He has everything pictured. I think there was a decent number of red ones (both Typhoon and Syclone) but it was a metallic red. Jim
