datzenmike Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Me and two buddies used to hang and there was a younger kid who wanted to be just like us. So we usually included him. His dad worked a a Ford dealer in Toronto and would drive new cars home every friggin night. One time his parents went out for the night so we scooped the car, a brand new '69 Thunderbird 429. It's one of the biggest road barges ever made, lol. It had monster torque and would fry the tires while trying to move that heavy 3-4 tons? of car up to speed. Crap we buried a house down the block in tire smoke. Had a ball drivin' all over. Took it back hours later and parked it with powdered rubber all over the wheel wells, shrug. Hey we should have charged for breaking it in properly. Some old fart probably bought it an put 5K a year on it. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 So....how did it run out? Looks like a nice one. Quote Link to comment
510er Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 So whats up with the extra strut thing off of the strut tower? The one that goes to the engine? someone enlighten me? Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Looks like its "supposed" to be and engine damper... to prevent the engine from tilting when revved. Quote Link to comment
510er Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Engine dampner? is that a thing? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 oh yes prevent that monster l series torqe from breaking a motor mount Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 :lol: You know the first time I saw one of those ricer 'fart cans' I picked it up and it was nothing but a hollow chrome pipe and I thought " Kids are stupid enough to buy this for $130??? Man I'm in the wrong business" Well I was wrong. I should be selling chromed turnbuckles for $330 instead. Is there no limit to the shit people will buy an hang off their cars??? Like cross drilled and slotted rotors, that only ever come into play at red hot rotor temperatures, on serious race cars. Or a rear spoiler or wing that's on a car that never goes above 120kph. It's a case of monkey see. If the racers use it and I get one, then by association I and my car are elevated above the average. Quote Link to comment

Mike FYI sometimes you can get drilled and slotted rotors for nearly the same cost as regular rotors if you know where to look:D And they look coo! :lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 THat's one of the nicest 510s I've ever seen... makes me want to get one of those big Datsuns. Quote Link to comment
thegreencar Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Sucks you only got a couple blocks. Any car that has a full cage is a serious build, they should expect people to drive it like that on a test drive. Salesman FAIL Quote Link to comment
djmoreron Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 at the nissan dealership in cerritos the salesmen were cool. they had a nice integra gs-r with low miles. during a test drive, guy directed me to a back road and told me to punch it :P Quote Link to comment

Very cool just over kill, fart can? meh. I've heard that lots of places won't touch the drilled/slotted rotors to reface them. Too hard on the cutter. Quote Link to comment

Focus Auto Sales are a joke, even their sales men tell me not to buy from them. I got to test their R32 once, pretty bitching. Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 My brother and I test drove a WRX STi... the salesman showed us to some nice twisty back roads nearby with little traffic, then said "Let'er RIP!" Dude at Fork-Us dealer was anal retentive... Quote Link to comment
