  1. Sweet, got 110 @ just under 4k revs, pretty sweet. Was that in top gear? And that 0-60 aint so bad, i couldn't get that for shit, i'll have to try one day... Then i will get back to you all.... Yep, 110 was in 4th gear (or overdrive ... depends on what you want to call it) At wide open throttle it will ... 1-2 shift @ ~32 2-3 shift @ ~62 3-4 shift @ ~99 Cuts out at 112
  2. Sorry about the bad sound quality. Clocked myself at 10.56 0-60 ... not going to complain since I was going up a hill. http://miller88.bounceme.net/0-60plus.wmv
  3. Hopefully I can get the laptop working with the webcam and I might take a few videos on my way to work tomorrow morning. Then I need to stop before I blow up the trans or something.
  4. Wow, it's my family reunion! All we need to do is stick someone in there that looks like he belongs in ZZ Top and we have my uncle's graduation party - the ZZ Top dude came to the graduation party.
  5. The 3.8's don't have great horsepower numbers, but their torque is where they win. Also the torque is low in the power band for a car engine.
  6. Send it my way, then I can use the 60mm throttle body I have in my trunk
  7. I got that from the Taurus club. That happened 2 1/2 years ago. He has recovered and is being cleared to go back to college. It helps if you get small scares; usually it will avoid big things like that.
  8. So I had a small mishap with the seafoam. It sucked a few tablespoons in then stalled ... then backfired ... then my intake manifold had an explosion and blew a plastic elbow off. I let the car sit for a few minutes. Barely started and then it ran like crap for a while, but it seems to be okay now. The rest of the seafoam will be used up in the next few fill ups.
  9. Is the blazer much bigger than the S10?
  10. Those are some of the best looking chevys ever. I'd love to have a full sized blazer, bronco and ram charger.
  11. You do realize that Blazers are S10s, right?
  12. If I read this right, I think the answer would be to stare at their forehead. Always works for me.
  13. I can't take a pic becuase no good quality digital camera, but we have a few .22s, 12 gauges and a 20 gauge IIRC.
  14. Bondo! half of my car is bondo! Actually, just the wheel well in the right rear is. Started to rust out. Looks real nice - smooth and all except the paint doesn't quite match. Saturday I changed my spark plugs. Stupid front drive V6s, I had to lay on the engine to do it. Then I changed my fuel filter. Today I went to do that seafoam stuff. Wasn't able to suck enough into the engine before it stalled. I can't operate the throttle with my left hand and hold the tube with my left hand at the same time. Made a freakin awesome cloud of smoke.

  16. On the 3.8 the block is the same, but there are a few different head designs. The rear drive 3.8, the Taurus 3.8 and the SPI Windstar 3.8. I was looking at a new 08 Taurus yesterday. I would have took it! AOD is one of the most bulletproof transmissions out there if I recall correctly. I can see why you would want a six speed, wide ratios suck for racing. Here in new york if you fart in your car 3 weeks before the inspection it will fail. Damn treehuggers.
  17. Actually the brakes would be do for any vehicle with 47000 miles on it.
  18. I decided to bed in the pads and wow! The car stops now. I stopped into an autoparts and bought a fuel filter and a set of colder spark plugs.
  19. Lolz, I assume it was pretty retarded? Ugh. He tried hooking me up with a girl. I said no and my reasoning was I have seen what happens when students get girlfriends in college - their grades start to suffer and they usually end up with a lil kid running around. He automatically assumed that I was t3h gay and told his girlfriend. She tried hooking me up with a dude. I chatted with him on the AIM for a day or so and realized that he was too flamboyant for me. I still had lunch with a group of his friends. Any my roomate and his girlfriend think I'm stupid and kept asking me about my lunch that day. I told them that I went to lunch somewhere else by myself.
  20. They are both spyware/adware removal programs. One picks up what the other doesn't.
  21. Went to get the Taurus inspected today and it failed. Service manager came up to me and said that I had broken front springs, and the rotors were too rusty and grooved to pass inspection and the right one was cracked, no inside right pad material left due to the rust and hanging calipers. Spent 7 hours getting ... * New front springs (free - Ford recall) * New front rotors $133.30 (incl labor) YF1Z 1V125 EA Rotor Assembly * New front pads $52.10 (for all 4) BR 35 B Pad * Calipers rebuilt $144 They spent an hour trying to get the rotors off. I watched them do that they were using all sorts of oils and rust penetrators and hitting the thing and couldn't get them off. Afterwards the other service manager asked me if I knew about the brakes. I told him that I did and that the car pulled to the left horribly when braking - because there was no right front brake anymore.
