Nice job on the pedal fix and cross brace.

[Frizzle Fry]

You could say the same about my car then Power to weight is the key here.

The same could be said about nearly every LS swap on this board. Mike, you have a dose of bah humbug today?

That guy gas a bigger shoehorn than you do. I would have a confused look on my face if I saw an S2000 go by and heard a V10.

Actually, Yes I did. Had just found out my cousins wife died last night. Hit me pretty hard. We were like brothers growing up and I've known her since she was in high school and they started dating. Our kids are in the same age bracket and my heart was breaking for him.

That sucks. Thoughts and prayers with you and your cousin's families. I didn't think that post sounded like you, but was just poking fun. Didn't think it was anything that bad.

Hey FF, how much axial movement does the driveshaft CV joint allow for? Would a setup like this be acceptable with leaf springs or does the 4-link reduce the axial movement?

[Frizzle Fry]

It does have some axial plunge. Maybe 0.5"-0.75". The amount needed depends on the set up of the 4-link; bar lengths, arc range, static shaft angle, etc. I have mine set up with the lower bars level to the chassis at static ride height.

I'm not in the habit of announcing when I'm out of town. That's why my threads sometimes go dead without explanation. Let me just show a peek of what I've been up to...

[mcbassin]

Looks like fun.

Those ancient dudes had me beat I'm afraid to say. Slave labor does have its advantages.

They had the treasury blocked off because there's further excavation in progress. They've discovered another level below!

[thor]

Very cool! Work or fun? On a slightly similar note, went to the King Tut exhibit at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle. Caught it before it closed this past weekend. Very cool! BUT, would be waaaay cooler to travel over and see the buildings, excavations, statues, pyramids.

[67cheby]

WOW, that is AWESOME !

Psf! Weren't no slaves. That was cut with lasers by aliens.

They have been poking around that place for nearly a century and they are STILL finding new stuff! I'd bet there is still more, I just hope it is not like "Ghosts of Mars."

'The Temple of Doom--Indiana Jones'

I could be wrong but the first and fourth photos is where they shot some of the last screens to the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

I was sick last weekend with a head cold, Temple of Doom was on......

[Frizzle Fry]

Yes it's Petra, in Jordan, where they shot those Indy scenes. Amazing is an understatement! They say the city is only 1% excavated.

You have chosen.......poorly.




It was actually Last Crusade, my personal favorite.

DUUUUUUUUUUDE, you won't believe this; my brother had a Merkur that we used to bomb around in back in the 90's! I still have a soft spot for them. They make great drifters and a F20C/XR4TI would be awesome! You gonna do a build thread?
