Brad, my son, and I just got to run the Rag to the store and back. Looks like everything is in order other then one thing. The tranny vent appears to be plugged. I went to check the fluid level after the ride and it shot about a quart of fluid at me like out of a hose. Scared me so bad I grabbed the fire bottle just in case. So fix that and adjust the shifter linkage and I am offically done.

Q

 

For this week. . . . . .

 

NOT fun nay.

Q

 

Good to hear its running on the road.

Well at least it didn't blow any fluid out the breather

 

Thats the truth.

I went back to the garage after this post, and got it all fixed. Runs perfect, and shifts great.


But.......on the way home I get a weird noise, something slapping under the hood. I stop and look and the belt is shredding itself. I must be cursed. So tomorrow I start my search of Grand Rapids for a belt that will fit. On a holiday no less. I'm just glad it runs right now. Should be able to make it to the track on wednesday. Just not sure if I'm going north or south to the track.

Q

 

i would suggest milan

i hear it is one of the better tracks...
where else would you be considering to go?

i have never been to track but bunch of my buddys often go and are always looking for new places to go

 

US131 is really looking good right now, and probably on of the best in Michigan if not this part of the country. Besides if you go there I'll be there to cheer you on

I don't think the wednesday T&T starts for another week though. Gotta wait til june

 

Glad to hear it Q! Err wait, you 2-way'd me last night and told me you fixed it! I was getting tanked

Ahh well, Melanie left for work... back to bed for me

 

Corngrats on the Redrag runnin' again.

However I suspect that the tranny blowin' a load on you is not the first time something has blown in your face once you've uncapped it!!!

KIDDIN"!!

HInk

 

Glad to hear that it's back on the road Dreamer. So you racing Saturday also or just want to test it out a little?

 

I got the belt on it, and everything seems to be fine. I want to run her for a few days to make sure everything is where it needs to be, before I take it to the track. But I will be there soon. Just want a solid week of breakage free driving before I TRY to break her.

Q

 

Q glad to hear you got it all done till the next round of mods. Now you can come over and finish mine.

 

Yeah, but I know you wont ever run out of mod ideas I would have to move to that side of the state to keep you happy

Q

You need to post some pics of your new engine with all that bling goin' on up in that piece. Q in da HIZouse!
