just wanted to see if it worked
i’m keeping the zx2 going in hanover, pa. 8) it is in the shop now getting body work, some motor, and trunk work done all said and done i will have about 13 grand into it for carlisle. PM for modifications
13 grand… I only have about 6-7 grand in mine as of now… WOW, now that I think of it, 6-7 isnt much, I only put slotted and drilled rotors, 2.7grand system, 1.3grand rims and tires, 200 into body kit and other misc. stuff…
yea man i am going all out onmy Z, if you want to see a list of mods that will be done for Carlisle on May 5-7 PM me and i willlet you know about em. I am hoping to have pictures on the forum when i get it back next month
im shooting to have my motor done by then too… see you there… ill be the ugly car with the big motor
dont forget I offered to help, providing that it warms up… LOL
Im taking a metal tech class now and am learning how to weld, mill, and do lathe work…
yeah the garage we have is heated … runs off used motor oil
thats great idea for heating a garage. Do all your oil changes and get more fuel to keep the place warm. excellent trade off…
How long can one oil change heat the garage for?
i have no idea but it gets really warm in there
i think that would be interesting to find out. it would figure out what your cost of heating is. I bet its less then buying straight oil from the oil company.
hey hksZX2, with that news, I just had to change my oil… AGAIN. I also chainged my dads geo Tracker oil like 2 months ago and my car a few times b4 that. I have 18quarts of used motor oil… u want it?? Otherwise im taking it to Jiffy Lube and emptying it…
nah the shop is a service station …so he has plenty of oil laying around in big drums
poo, looks like I gotta run to Jiffy Lube (or I could just throw it in some trash bags… hmmmmmmm NOT)
