Default Hot in Texas... What's your summer mod list?

Woodhouse mounts... DONE

Side exhaust... GOING GREAT

Am I the only one working on my car right now?

I pulled out the backup Viper today though. Four cylinders, 93 octane, 9 mpg. And louder than any V10.

WAY BAD in surgery...



WAY FUN called to duty...

Hopefully at someone else's sweat and tears dude. This is a bunch of work. Can't wait to piss off the neighbors and do a mosquito control run when it's done though.

It's getting hot in FL also. Your not the only one working on your car. I just took out my tranny for a rebuild. While I'm there I am replacing the clutch, flywheel, and mounts. Ahhh isn't this fun

Can't wait to get 'er done

Well, I just had Woodhouse Poly Engine Mounts installed.

Otherwise, I've got an X-Metal Throttle Body sitting here. Still debating whether or not I'm going to install it or sell it.

Also attempted my own smooth-tube install yesterday, but the silicone tube turned out to be about 1.5" too short. Gotta shop around some more...

As for Summer - I h-a-t-e working on cars in the Summer heat and humidity!
Either do it now (Spring), or wait until Fall.

Talking Re: Hot in Texas... What's your summer mod list?

I drive.

Top down is the only mod I do.

I would hate having the car sitting in the garage after the long winter.


P.S.: have to admit that I got new PS2's and StarTech suspension recently and that the cars speed during corners makes me feel WOOOOOW...
I do hope nothing else will break due to the very high cornering forces!

Dave, the way your Viper is perched up on the stands, it looks scary - be careful not to bump it!

So let me get this straight Dave.... it is getting too hot down there? HHMMMM it is a lovely 70 degrees or so here in the midwest... never too hot this time of year. Seems karma is catching up with you, what with giving us crap all winter about having the perfect driving region down there. Karma... its a B&$%# aint it?
