After wheezing by on three cylinders for the past 2-3 weeks my good ol' junk yard motor finally belched out it's last bit of smoke on the way to Washburn tonight (What a plume it was).
I'll be driving the T-bird beater that my grandma blessed me with a couple weeks ago. It's a blessing, but it will be living Hell driving this thing until the Talon is running again. BTW - I ordered .020 over Forged pistons for the engine rebuild today. The machine shop says it will probably be 4 weeks before he is done since he is so busy. That means I'll be pushing the Sept. 21st dead line. I can just see it now, wrenching the Saturday night before trying to get the car ready for the big race. Why does it always have to come down this way?!

Ah, the inevitable. Have you forgotten the cardinal rule of car building? If it can break it will, and usually at the most inconvienient of times.
That's ok, you will have a good setup when all is said and done. Where are you having the work done at? -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....
