Geeez that made my stomach turn just reading it.

 

We used to drag out on public streets years ago however it was in a desolate area where oncoming cars can be seen for miles.Though that doesn't make it right we always told each other even back then that we would only put ourselves in danger because we had friends who had died while racing and if we were going to lose it we weren't taking anyone with us.

 

Hopefully they can find the guy with the Eclipse because he should have to face some form of punishment even though it will never amount to the damage that he and the Camaro helped cause.

If you go on to read the rest of the thread Frank they found the eclipse driver he has been charged and is out on bail until trial starts

 

Hope they nail both the fuc*ers to the wall

Not to long ago a ricer was racing someone and cut in front of a semi.  Semi crashed (tanker) and the guy in the car went up in flames.  Road was closed for almost 2 days

What happened is a horribly ugly thing.  But whats even worse, is retards just like those that caused that accident will continue to do what they do on the streets.  All because they want to show the world how "fast" that little V-Tec piece of s*%t really isnt!  (I know there are a lot of people on the board that may or may not do this.  But at least Im sure most of you have the common sense to do it on an empty street)  I cant say I have seen something as bad as the gentlman on the other site did.  But, I have seen that happen before and it aint pretty.

Not racing, but we had some guy put his foreign pos on its roof last year after he got into an argument with his ex when she wouldn't take him back.  She ended up having the skin peeled off the top of 1 of her hands.  He wasn't injured...too stiff probably.  Tagged him for DUI, but I think he refused when I had him at the station.  Just shows what can happen when people lose their common sense and good judgement.(if they had it in the first place)

This thread is one of those that poeple start against street racing (Im not condoning it, BTW) Ive seen it already posted on nearly every message board that is auto related.. Not that anything like that has never happened, and not that street racing hasnt caused horrific accidents, but several poeple from that place wherever that supposedly happened call BS because they heard nothing of the sort happening anywhere near them... Bogus story, although it does make you think... :puke:

 

If its real, I want a link to a press release about it... :D I didnt find anything even close to that in any Counties news anywhere in Indiana (where the guy is from who first posted it)... :jester:

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      I would argue that GMPartsDirect has that info wrong.    The service manual for R+R the lower arm and for adjusting camber/caster, none of the steps say to discard and replace the nut or the bolt.    The only part that gets discarded is the plastic cam adjustment retainer that is in the eccentric from the factory.     The LCA nut torque spec is: First Pass: 180 Y (133 lb ft) Final Pass: 90 –105 Degrees

      OCI, not when but why?

      The filtering to wear relationship goes like this:      'Relative Engine Life "Factor" new divided by the factor old. So 8/3= 2.67. That result is the multiplier thus if a motor had an effective life of 100K using a filter with a 45 micron rating at a Beta ratio of 75 then a filter with a micron rating of 10 at a Beta of 75 would improve expected engine life to 267,000 miles.    Wear metals are an indirect indicator. Less is better and the motor lives longer but there isn't a multiplier like there is for filtration so well documented. Most of that has to do with the sensitivity of the wear metals tests themselves. They read a 'slice' of the spectrum but not the absolute values for the entire spectrum. So a general indicator that is used WITH the results of other tests. Two others considered in this post. Trending is very important.    There is also the influence of corrosive wear which may be seen in the wear metals but separate from load based or viscosity mitigated indication. It's a small graph but the gray line is wear vs the TBN/TAN crossover. Not as useful as it used to be as there are now new chemistries for acid remediation that don't show up in standard UAO testing. They will catch up or be found liars. Only two possible outcomes, eh?

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      One thing that comes up over and over is that the torque converters are the weak link. Many of the failed transmissions have the same thing in common. The torque converter grenades and then metal torque converter shards end up destroying the transmission. One of the best things you can do is if your transmission is still fully functional, change out to one of the aftermarket billet torque converters. There are several good choices mentioned in different threads here to make your choice. After that, then you can decide about trans tuning. My trans failed at around 95,000 miles. It got replaced under the GM protection plan. The remanufactured trans comes with a 100,000 mile /3 year warranty. I still have just under 1 year left. So far, so good. As long as it's still working good next year, an aftermarket torque converter is going to get installed early spring. If the trans and OEM torque converter fail by then, I will get it replaced under warranty and immediately have an aftermarket torque converter installed. A warranty replacement trans of a replacement trans will no longer have the warranty so I will bulletproof it from the get go.

      Pushing $4.00 a gallon in most places, still $3.75 in town but it's going to spike tomorrow for sure.   Diesel back up to $4.60-5.00.
