Here's my car...except the roll bar is different.

Correct on both counts.

And that, ladies and gentleman, is frickin awesome.

Oh yeah, I watch TBS movies ALL the time. I just wish they would show the movies withOUT the commercials every 15 minutes!!! I highly doubt you'll be able to drift a Pacifica, but I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see someone try it!!!

What's a "D/A?" I'm not sure I want to spend a full $2000 on the paintjob. That's a bit overboard. Although I have to consider the source.....chris. LOL These folks have painted parts of cars for me before, and they always did a good job. I'll trust them to do the same quality of work now as...

LMAO! I forgot to mention that the Miata is one of the best cars to have for drifting. I'm saving up money to drop a turbo in it. I've thought about doing the Monster Miata 5.0 swap....but it wouldn't so much be a Miata anymore. Get on YouTube and search for "turbo miata" or "turbo miata...

It's a 1995 Mazda Miata M Edition. They hold their resale value pretty well, and once I get the paint fixed, she'll be in near mint condition, except for the mileage being high.

Ok, I've got new figures after the morning ride to work..... 85 MPH = 4500 RPMS 95 MPH = 5000 RPMS 105 MPH = 5500 RPMS I can actually CRUISE at 105 now.....without the engine racing. It was kinda nice. Although I turned a corner and scraped the **** out of my bellypan. And I noticed that one...

The difference between 4th and 5th gear now is so amazing. I am REALLY glad that I spent the extra money for the overdrive 5th gear from Sean. And I'm even MORE glad that I didn't screw anything up!!!! I would like to hear from someone who has solid motor mounts though....can you feel a very...

Ok, I went for a quick spin tonight inbetween rain squalls. It's been raining all day long. Damn Indiana weather. I can't wait to move. I only hit a short stretch of highway, and didn't wanna test it TOO much since it was dark and I couldn't see any cops...... 60MPH = 3k RPMS 75 MPH = 4k RPMS...

Where I live, a tornado blew through a month or two back and a bunch of limbs fell on my car. Scratched it to all hell. Thankfully, it didn't damage the convertible top or any windows. So....the insurance company cuts me a check for WAY LESS than any body shop is quoting me for a full paintjob...

Good to know that we can lift the bike up while leaving the pipes on. I figured that would have been a no-no. Even leaving the exhaust on the bike though, you'll have to mod the lift somewhat IIRC. The problem I run into is that my lift isn't wide enough to catch BOTH header pipes. The gap...

Well, finishing up my thread, I got everything put back together and took her for a spin last night briefly. I never did end up taking pictures to do a How-To for engine removal....although I'm sure that I could take random pictures of the bike in one piece and draw arrows to what parts need to...

Yeah I'm thinking about getting a Barsnake too. The vibes won't hurt me now, but I'm sure on a longer ride it would. ALthough I ride like a maniac, so it may be needed sooner!

I only took it out for a quick ride to make sure everything was put together right, so I didn't have a chance to check out RPMs at all those speeds. I was going to do that today, but it's flippin raining outside. Once the weather clears up, I'll make not of all that stuff and let you know. And...

Lol.....maybe I shouldn't be saying this....but I do that. Except I don't use any autobid software. I physically wait until like 10 seconds to go and then place my bid. It usually works, but pisses people off a lot.

Got my bike all put back together!!!! Here are my notes: 1. Solid motor mounts really make things vibrate when you're hard on the throttle. 2. Sean's 5th gear Overdrive is FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! 3. Now that I've removed the engine, split the cases, and put it all back together again, I feel...

I'd say the biggest thing in this matchup would be the Camaro's ability to hook up. Even at 30 MPH, pushing that many ponies will bust the tires loose with ease. As noted before, skill level of both drivers is the biggest variable. Although I think that skill level of the Camaro driver would...

Or go to a stealership and ask them to crack it loose for you. Take 4 new screws that AREN'T tamper-proof with you and replace the current ones with the new ones so you won't have this problem again in the future.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that an A-10 Warthog??? I haven't seen one of those in a LONG time!
