    Hey mystery, can you get pics of the fenders where they meet the door? Like a close up of how they don't align.

    that's where the magic comes from ;)

    Intake and exhaust have ZERO effect on your transmission. Fail.

    yeah, but I couldn't hear the engine before, so it was kinda hard to tell when to shift.....

    Was it THAT quiet? Every stock car I've been in I could hear it if the revs were high enough that you have to worry about shifting.

    If you see the oil light you are seriously screwed lol. It has to be basically dry before that thing comes on.

    what do you mean what happened to the actual car itself... did you watch the video? The engine blew up because the oil ran out too many times.

    I wanted to make sure and part out as much as possible first, but since there's no more interest (and it's winter), I want to be rid of it by the spring. I tore it apart too much to repair it, even if there was no rust.
