I talked to Bottle yesterday and although he knows what I'm talking about he wants me to talk to Sean. He thinks it's a Garrett flange that 3 and something inches. I need to change my credit card info on file too!

LOL- I stumbled on the best deal tonight for daily driving tires! I got a set of new Vredestein 315/35/17's for $50. Just being in the right place at the right time- the guys at Pep Boys had them sitting in the shop and didn't want them there anymore so bingo- Insta street tires. I needed them too but I was expecting to pay loads more. Don't know much about them but if they blow out they blow out. I have slicks for the track- these are just getting me to 7-11 occasionally!

the bl transmission is stock... it uses stock clutches and sprags, oem toyota is the raybestos blue, awesome packs! only better are the green. anyway the magic of the bl tranny is in the valve body. they work there magic to increase trans pressure and solenoid response, those trans rock! if you ever drove a supra with a t04z and a 3800 stall with a bl auto, youd know! lmao burn rubber machine

Yeah. your exactly right- I bought a bunch of those 3 year olds that used to work at that nike factory and I keep them chained up in my garage so I don't EVER have to touch a wrench and risk breaking a nail. LOL- you're batsh*% but I know you're joking so it's okay!

Unbelievable! Why is it so hard for you to get your head around the idea of a girl being able to do this stuff? Just because you may not have the skill set to do this kind of work doesn’t mean a girl cant. Anyone is capable of this stuff if they educate themselves and are willing to get their hands dirty. Obviously you have some sort of superiority complex.

Sorry, “Hate me all you want” I just call them like I see them.

I see this thread going over a hundred pages.....it's all the 'wow a girl wrenching, turbo too!' kinda posts...come on guys, let her do her thing so this thread can progress like it should. Don't you want threads like these in the SC forums? I do, so let's have some manners and be courteous. Bring it on jaxx!

Today! Can you believe $50? I couldn't believe it. They're probably crap. I need to do my research. But not a dime of that $ went in a register- the guy just pocketed my cash and slung the tires into the back of my truck. They came in on a set of rims for a mustang and the guy wanted them off to put slicks on. I would have more pics to post but I wound up chatting via Aim for 3 hours with some guy I saw on Telemundo when I was supposed to be working! But I did find out my vband is supposed to be a 3 5/8's so now if I can just find one in aluminum instead of mild steel I'll be set.
