anyone got advice/ideas on how to install a freeze plug w/o taking the engine out?
i got the old one out no prob but dont have a whole lot of room to swing a hammer at the new one
thats funny and true
i would be be laughing more if i wasnt so frustrated
Oh, BTW. That was an awesome vid of your race. Proud of you!
thanks. if i can get this damn freeze plug back in, i want to be more aggressive in my heat race. hopefully start the feature in the top 5 and go from there.
This might be a weird ass question, but did you ever know anyone in Corpus named Cecil?
Why is that B2B's real name???
Its always been my dream to have the time/finances for a car and and i finally got one.And its fast. Sat night we went to the races at south texas speedway for fun and before the feature they interviewed the drivers on the track. Well the dude in the "hammerhead construction #9" listed his sponsors and then reminded us in the crowd that the car was for sale.My brother and i perked up a little and decided we'd watch and see how the car did. The guy started in the 6th position and after 18 of the 25 laps he was spun into the infield by a car that was a lap down. He restarted in 8th position and in 7 laps managed to get back to, and finish, 2nd. the post race tech inspection later revealed that when he was spun out it knocked off one of the vac hoses on the carb and the guy confirmed it talkin bout how he didnt have as much power for the last 7 laps. He coulda shoulda won. A woman won the race.
After the race its free to get into the pits so we found the car at the post race inspection and the driver pointed us towards the car owners pit so we met him there. The car owner was the owner of hammerhead construction and his team is well known at the track. Anyhoo we talked and decided we wanted the car so sunday (thank god ibc does 7 day banking) we met him and followed him out to his house and did the deal. Him and one of his buddies told us most everything we need to know about getting started and really couldnt have been more helpfull.we took lots of notes and the guy even threw in an extra tranny and fuel cell, that was never mentioned in the deal previously. He even offered to let us borrow his car hauler for the week. Instead he sold us one of his for the incredible price of $300. we couldnt believe it . Apparantly we can park next to his "group" in the pits as well for tools/advice/avoidance of ass whoopin. So we got the car on the trailer and hauled it home.
like i said before, the car is a bomber (starter class) and i'll be racin' on a 1/4 mile dirt track. We have not yet painted it with my business logo but will be getting it done soon.l'll probably race sat. the way it is. But when i do im thinkin silver/black.Its an automatic 3 spd 80-something cutlass with a 350. I got to drive it some out at his property and of course cruised it through the neighborhood a couple times.it goes, i can tell ya that. if you wanna see the car how it is now, check it out at www.myspace.com/qcr. but just know that it'll look much better after i paint it. which brings me to the point of the thread. I sent kori a pm last night asking if i could possibly put the ST.com logo on the car. She was very nice about it and said it would be ok(thanks again kori).So if anyone wants to be a part of the team in any way let me know. It is down here in Corpus Christi TX and if you ever wanna come down and watch the spurstalk car go round and round on a dirt track hit me up and you can sit with my fam and friends. its 10 bucks gen admission or 25 to get a pit pass and watch from the pit bleachers. Its alot of fun (for me at least) Any other track info you can get at Southtexasspeedway.com.
Any advice,input or help would be cool. def accepting sponsorships from fam and friends. Also if you have a design idea in mind for the car/logo that you think would look good let me know. Thats it , i couldnt be more excited right now.
oh, and still sober. 5+ weeks now.
Go Spurs
Cool !
anyone have any experience with expansion freeze plugs?
Put some sealant on that bad boy and then use a seal driver. You prob can finish it off with a hammer once it gets most of the way in.
i ended up putting in an expansion plug
hope i dont blow it out tom night
You beat me to it. I hadn't read this thread but I was going to suggest what you did.
My name is not Cecil.
time to go race
Good luck
well last night was bitter sweet . i won my heat race in stunning fashion. its the first video on the front page of www.myspace.com/qcr. gotta watch the whole race, i gottem' on the final turn on the last lap.felt good to see the checkered.
in the feature i started 8th and finished 5th. that vid will be up soon. i got to 5th from 8th and then got punted into the infield. i recovered ,but by the time i got back into turn 1 i was in last. took the rest of the race to get back to 5th. the track was super slick,its been rainin' in corpus for the last 3,4 days. i loosened up my trans linkage pretty good but should be able to get it ready by sat if its not rained out.anyway, im headed back to SA with the car for the week. if anyone wants to lend their knowledge of transmission linkage, feel free.
Awesome job...
Dude, totally call in anytime and lets chat...
