jigsaw is right spent like 5 hours today trying to get this thing back together just have to clean the other case half and install some seals and I can close it up figure I got anther day putting it together and a day or two to install it so I can burn rubber again. Maybe that's why it blew apart in the first place, too much burning rubber. LOL don't deny me my burning of rubber

I hope not, I think I can get it done pretty fast, but there is the blazer and my garage projects that need to get a move on. I'm hoping for a short detour, at least if I dont blow the thing up.

put some new shocks on the durango tonight, somehow they were not quit right, but I ordered on line so I said heck with it and modified them to work. there the KYB's gas adjust, a little more coin, but damn! , a huge difference in ride. I should have done this a year ago, when my factory shock started leaking.

well I had to get a new battery to day for the vw, a red top optima from costco 129.99. ;D I only mention it cause the optima that was in it I bought in 1996 the date sticker is still on it, its been in 5 different rigs of mine including my first car I had. All I have to say is they are damn good batterys

well been driving the durango allot to work and the tires are getting thin. so my solution, rather than spending 5-600 on tires I bought a 1995 accord with new tires for 350 bucks it has 265k but it runs and dives good, figure I will double my mileage with this and pay my self back in a couple months.

my 1995 accord OK so I got this three mounts ago, and so far I put new plugs in to stop a mis it had, and that is it. its now come to my attention that the reason I have to add water every about 2 weeks is cause I'm getting some exhaust in the water. so blown head gasket kinda. It seams to have been like this for some time now. It doesn't overheat the car or nothing in less it gets low on water (2 weeks). not sure if I should keep it going, fix it, sell it,or maybe swap a vtec (single cam) motor in for 500 bucks with computer. hmmmmm.
motor swap seems more realistic or cheaper than doing a head gasket, especially because of the 270k this thing has. but its still a lot of money to invest when I could almost sell it right now for twice what I payed for it.
so what would you do??

so a little update here sold the Honda and durango And picked this up today its the wife's but I guess I'm going to have to drive it, being that my car is about to roll 200k. And she cant fit all her work stuff in it, so she gets to drive it on weekends I guess. Its a 2002 mini type s so its got a supercharger on it make 163hp. I already want to get a after market pulley to boost it up a bit and add a cold air kit and exhaust.

Sweet! love the go-carts on the street! It is rear wheel drive? Please tell us how you like it! I'm really thinking of making my street bike quad streetable.. Great gas mileage and something that would put a smile on my face every time I drive it...
