Me n Ethyl

Doing a lot of driving to work out the low end tune and driveability. I really am enjoying the car as the tune gets more dialed in. Last week we worked on the exhaust that was hitting in some areas and we replaced the OEM Starter at 100,00 miles with a PowerMaster High Torque starter. Those mods alone increased the driveability of the car remarkably. Nothing special in these vids but they do give a sense of the way the car handles.

It's funny, you say nothing special in the videos; but it seems to me that's the entire point - a completely bad a$$ car that you jump in, turn the key and go raise mayhem.... I say, you've done that in spades

[wrp]

Occasionally we have some hilarious encounters.

First really hard launch from a dig.

"you're too old".... yep, my response would be "you're too poor" plus, everyone needs a blower on their wheelchair

Moar wheel shots.. Also mounted the second fire bottle horizontally, just have to reconnect the nozzles and that will be complete.

Got some better shots of the new wheels and tires this afternoon.

[SuperBuickGuy]

I'm sure you've said before, but who makes those wheels? they look really good

[wrp]

They are weld. 15x8 on the rear and 15x4 on the front. Weld's 9 and 10 inch tend to come further out. I am going to run the 275x60 Nittos a while then have the rims widened about 1-2 inches to the inside.

Now that is a set of tires/wheels!
I like how there is rubber on this car!
Looks great!

So me n Ethyl decided to do our annual Christmas regalia. It was a slim pickin year what with one of the transporters getting caught shooting at the Home of Bill Clinton sign at Hope Arkansas. They busted him and took a whole load of white whiskey. I only had about 5 gallons left unsold from the other one that got through. I guess I can't get mad at Jim Bob though, who the hell knew they'd have video cameras on the sign?

So anyhow I went to my personal stash and somehow about 4 of the 5 gallons had mysteriously disappeared. I just can't figure out where it all went. Like figuring out where time went when you are having fun I guess?

So, anyhow, I had to make do with what I got. Everybody gets a pint stead of a quart this year. I went out and bought some sterile pint jars, not wanting to contaminate the lead particles in the whiskey, and began the process of cutting it down.





With four quarts on hand I figured I could reasonably cut it to 12 pints. Don't do the math unless you are drinkin. Well I lined the jars up and began to measure out the whiskey, of course I took an occasional sip to ensure that it was actually whiskey. Then I cut and capped the pints



Sheesh, one sip out of each pint didn't seem like it was going to be tough. of course for quilitte kontrol I has to sip a secund zip to mash cure it was okeee. atter toe zips I hadda brak inta my stash cause the gits wuz gettin kina emptee.

Tom i gots everything lablelled I seen one of the stash quartz turnid oer n emti. I kinna dink Ethyl wuz stealin a zip heretthere



sumho I gots eerthing labelled n a bow on it. dam my head is light and the roomz spinnin. holly chit whard them other empties com frum?

Completely rebuilt the blower over the past few weeks. The rear bearings for the rotors went out. Whipple has rebuilt everything on the blower except the case and the manifld. New Intercooler, rotors, etc.
