Alan, Happy Birthday!! Jay

Hey MikeC, Which Hurst shifter did you use with your T5? I'm looking at a guy on ebay that has a Hurst Comp/Plus (Hurst # 3910030) for an 83-04 Mustang. That wouldn't be the one you used by chance would it? Many Thanks, Jay

Guys, I just finished the following mod to my 1g DSM BOV: http://www.thedodgegarage.com/turbo_bov_mod.html Might want to consider it as an alternative to crushing. Jay

Max, I love your work. Please don't ever stop drawing (from someone who never could). So I had to Google... Steam Punk from Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk Cool...

Guys, I just finished the following mod to my 1g DSM BOV: http://www.thedodgegarage.com/turbo_bov_mod.html Might want to consider if you end up using one. Jay

Max, The first, third and fourth links were no good for me. Jay

Big-Phil, Group Buy? My kids think you have the COOLEST job that they have ever heard of. Jay

Brian, I think it looks outstanding. Nice job! Jay

Howdy, I struggled whether to comment on this one or not. I usually keep to myself and do more reading and searching instead of posting. If I see someone is banned, I can usually search for their last couple of weeks of posts and find a rule that was broken. I searched for a history of Hybridz in order to understand the rhyme and reason of the site. I found this one by Mikelly from 2002: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=74845 The bottom line is that I don't always agree with the admins, but I don't know the whole story and it's not my house. So I read and search some more. Just my $0.02 Jay

Warren, My friend's parents currently tow/use an LS1. I thought from your question that maybe I was off base so... I googled for a little support other than my experience. http://resources.myrvnetwork.com/articles/saturn_as_a_tow_vehicle.php http://www.rvweb.net/tech_lib/saturn.html http://www.wolfswords.com/motorhome/saturn.html Just my $0.02 and I am NOT an RVer so I may have gotten my terms incorrect. Jay

Scotty, My best friend's family runs an RV repair place. From talking to him, I know that there are a number of people that buy their "chase" cars with have the capability to be towed flat and not be damaged. (His family buys Saturns exclusively because of this.) For those that have chase cars that cannot be safely towed, I'm sure they would have an idea or two on how to do what you are looking for. My advice is to get out your local yellow pages and call an RV repair shop or supply center. Just My $0.02 Jay

Jasper, Thanks for that one. I just shot Diet Coke out of my nose. Jay

Chris et al, Many Thanks! This is the last tidbit that has been keeping me from redoing my r200 and adding in all of the goodies that I have been hoarding over the last couple of years. I love this place... Jay

My 9mm rods came from the 2.4L I removed from 8/72 240 (original motor). Jay

Very nice post! Wish this was handy when I did mine. I'd like to add that YMMV with MSA if you opt to use them instead of the Beck Arnley. My boot kits did NOT come with the large O-Rings. Just my $0.02 Jay

Howdy, I contacted John @ Bad Dog via email and had a response with 24 hours. I ordered front and rear frame rails + a Roostmonkey RT mount. John was very diligent with email updates (I had to wait a week for new rear rails to be made). Things shipped via FedEx with a tracking number. John is a class act! Jay P.S. I also ordered Zedd Findings and Tabco... Zedd good... Tabco lacking

What a great game! The most disappointing thing has to be the utter lack of class of Belichick leaving with one tick on the clock. That just struck me as a being a sore loser. Just my $0.02

Roost, I'll give them the 18-0 season... with an asterisk. This is no different the Barry Bond's record ball that was branded. Give them the credit, just with a visible footnote. Just my $0.02

Turbo, I'm a WSU grad (BSME in 95, MSME in 98) and currently work out at Wright Patt Area B. I'm south of town in Centerville. PM me if you want to get together sometime and bench race. Jay

Guys, I looked at his store on ebay and went to the website: http://www.wolfcreekracing.com/ There I found a PDF on the kit: http://www.wolfcreekracing.com/wcrcvhalfshaftaxlekit.pdf Cost seems to be $900 from him directly... Suddenly Terry's setup is looking mighty fine!
