I wonder if they can just expense the “rebuilds” as part of their business or something and doesn’t cost them in the long run. They get your money up front, and you get to send it back twice. With all of the RMAs or whatever they’re called they file/process don’t see how it can be profitable

That rattle sounds horrible, wow. Almost sounds like rotor contact
I will let you know what they say. It’s getting twins soon.

no rotor contact, but definitely something in the coupler making the noise again.

Never had a whipple myself. Magnusson was good enough back in the day. Sold the SC GTO 2 years ago and was still going strong. In the 80s and 90s was turbos for cars and bikes.

He's still got the splitters protectors on it, where ever it is, so he's good

I hated the look of that thing.
I’m kinda liking the look. Old school 👍🏼 I might have to consider that. One thing though…. Is that frontrunner as bald as it looks in the picture 🫣

Yes that’s exactly what I was going for. Love the old school look.
Also no the front runner is absolutely not bald. Just the photo making it look that way.

Heck yeah man!! looks so much better in my opinion!
Hey thanks for the idea. It never even occurred to me. I started walking around looking at the front and had to agree that it would look better without. At this point for my car, it costs money to lose weight. Not much left to take off. So to shed a free eight pounds off the front and look better doing it is win win! 👍🏼

Is your trailer winch offset to the side, hence why the winch hook is more on the drivers side? I have mine mounted in the center and am worried it will pull the car artificially
Yes my winch is offset to that side. It has to be there to get the golf cart by. 70622D6F-7F53-4D76-8F1F-F3E14CCD7B3A.jpeg 75CD3522-F1F5-4C59-9C19-ADB3E7DD0FEE.jpeg
