Dropped my cars off at Ramseys... I hope they are as good as everyone says they are... This is the first time ive let anyone work on the car without me assisting or doing it myself. Strange feeling. At least shes in there with a bunch of other camaros and stangs.... she wont get lonely.
I just want it fixed so i can drive it... Its all good... Ill just run a little more and drive some more bmws to get the money to pay for everything.

You sob.. I saw your bald ass in the TR photos and your Z in the background. Yeah yeah youll get your 2 rides... Hey Ken you got a laptop. If not its ok cuz my friend Joel has one. Im going to use some datalogging software to see whats up with my car. It runs smooth and the power band looks good but the peak power is about 20 wrhp and torque below what it should be. We can tweak it at the drag strip in a couple weeks.
Blue98TA and Blackz28 should come too. And anyone else for that matter.
Ken i gave a speech on the exploding clutch and got an A. Did all the special sound effects and my priceless facial expression... etc. Now im writing my english report... its on streetracing... Should get an A on this one too.

How much did Ramseys quote:2ae3d2aace you and what kind of clutch/PP did you go with this time? I say my stock clutch may have another 5K miles in it if I stay away from BMP. I myself finally got my car back on the road a couple of days ago after almost a month of waiting to get my tune-up and waterpump done in my parents driveway. I just worked on it a little here and there....its nice to have a spare car.

Fucking hell.... The T-56 might be shot.... I asked them to check the input shaft and they kinda did... They dont have the tranny out but hes fairly sure that the tranny got hit in the process of destroying the clutch... I hope its only the input shaft thats fucked up in there.. That tranny is more expensive then my left and right nuts.
Ramseys is telling me that the clutch is a piece of shit and thats what caused the failure and that they never seen one come apart like that one did.
They still need to drop the tranny to inspect everything closely.
That clutch pisses me off so much....

Ive heard some bad things about Ramseys. They did a custom rollbar in the Lemon Drop and it could have been done better...
