DBredS4 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 flippin' eck Mike, you must have kept the car industry going single handed! I've had about 7 cars to date and I'm 37!! Esprit is in for a pressure test to see if I've done any major damage while fitting a catch tank... Oh the joys of tinkering when you really don't know what your doing... ...

slade Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'm starting to wish I kept my camaro At least then I wouldn't have to borrow my mom's blazer when the 'tus is in the shop, and the water jacket on the chev explodes and the bolts break off in the manifold when I try to remove them same color as gonzalos but with the V6 wasn't so bad actually They tightened up the handling on the V8 models alot though Also mine wasn't a convertible Quote "It's called a fire hydrant.

Mine has been extremely reliable too. Actually I wanted to take it to Willow Springs this weekend but they wont let convertibles on the track without a roll bar.
