  1. looking to trade my IE drop center bar for a regular straight IE one. Mine is in perfect shape, painted black. I initially thought I'd do a crazy oil pan, but now I want the ground clearance instead.
  2. Got another thread going, but I think this is a good data point for the community as a whole. Subject is a 200K+ mile stock low comp '75 US M10 which was subjected to 9 pounds of boost for the last 10K. It sustained severe beatings during that time.
  3. Nice! I have a 1975 as well. I also am local to you and will give you a good starter as a welcome to the 2002 community gift. send me a message if you want it.
  4. Of course it's when I'm out of town. I'm going to see if he'll let me buy it!
  5. I wanted to do a Camden kit for a long time but I could never find one. I think you could probably use one of the baby screw types they had on those mini coopers. A procharger is probably the best bet though.
  6. Yes! Life is short might as well enjoy a little forced induction before internal combustion gets banned.
  7. Yeah I'd love to check it out! I'm especially curious about the airbox.
  8. I appreciate and respect your concern KB. I do go to the track when I can, and I want to go more. Yep the seat hinge bolt had backed out over time, I addressed it as soon as I noticed it in editing. I don't claim to be an expert, but I trust myself to give a fun ride without excessive risk. I leave a large margin for error. The car looks faster than it is, your NA hotrods are probably much quicker. You're right, all I would add is that I think there is a balance we all make between having a blast in an old shitbox and being reasonably safe. Everyone decides for themselves where that balance is, mine probably requires some adjustment as I turn up the power. Thank you for the constructive criticism!
  9. Dude that's sick I gotta check it out! You're brave as hell running blow through, although Mikunis are exactly what I would want for this application as well. You on IG or YouTube?
  10. Just means I need more cam right? Haha. And yeah all day long! M10s are tough... I think. You can bet on that dude! I'll keep making videos even if YouTube never pays me a dime.
  11. For someone advocating humility, you're doing an awful lot of assuming and preaching. I think you misunderstood my comment. I could rip on the clown randomly posting pictures of a pizza oven they're struggling to copy because they lack basic masonry skills. That would be a flamewar for example.
  12. You're the man Toby. Your advice and critique is always welcomed.
  13. Some people enjoy flame wars haha. I could probably flambé them into another dimension if I cared. When I detect a certain amount of pretentiousness, I know to just steer clear. That's what I'm trying to say in this thread, the amount of fun I've had with this car makes all the work worth it!
