you guys will learn the hard way that your cars are driven entirely by rubber, then you'll quit drag racing the cars![]()

Have new flexdisc in already. If it need center bearings or u-joints, then I put in new center bearings or U-joints.

Hey, I live in gainesville! I've always wanted to go to the raceway, but i've never been and my car (which i've had for all of two months) is still entirely stock. i was going to save up for those pesky thrust arms and bushings and sway bars.

You have all of about an hour and a half to get ready, it would be really cool to see another 5er out there. I've got the black one. If you're really interested, IM me (if you have AIM) at Volvo240T and I'll give you my cell number. Pease!

If i didn't work tonight.... And I think they're probably right, i dunno about draging.. i'd really like to just like to do laps.. going as fast as i possibly could.. i've never been above 90-100ish in the city.. and i've only done that once or twice. Its so constricting having 40mph speed limits all over the place.
heh. you ever want to work on your car with someone else tell me, i've got plenty of broken stuff to fix. we could replace all this rubber stuff thats going to break with metal stuff.
