LMAO, I seriously can't believe you skin is this thin man, there was NOTHING INSULTING in what I posted. Nothing at all. If I wanted to be insulting, I would have been very straight forward and to the point.

For someone who is attempting to put a volvo head on a ford block running a dodge turbo, I am sure you have actually heard a naysayer in your life before from hate mail for doing something "different". I can't imagine how you reply to that if this is how you reply to a joke about glue and silicon.


i got a question for you mister moderator......how come its ok for you to flame this guy(although he is an idiot) but its not ok for me to call him a newbie and my post gets deleted.....encourage the free flow of idea huh....lol.... what a joke...this site just gets lamer and lamer as time goes on ...its truly baffleing to me how this is the number 1 site in the world...i know of many other sites that dont censor ans bad as this site....id post a few links but it would get deleted as do all links that i post.....heaven forbid the lost sheep that visit this site ever learn of a better one

It's the same everywhere eventually dude. Some boards have 12 and 13 year olds posing as adults and will argue ANYTHING! Other boards have "Pros" who "know" everything and will tell you so. Some boards allow friends of Mods to get away with anything and everything, while others get banned for questionable comments.
I have found it is best to find the board that suits you and just grin and bear it when someone argues, disagrees, or one ups you. You will never win and unless you enjoy arguing it is pretty senseless anyway.
There is always something new to learn, even if you have been at it since the 60s maybe even more so if you have been at a long time, there are always new products good & bad introduced into the market.

As far as glue, I have some tires/rims that were glued 4 years ago and still have not broke a bead. Other tires/rims never seem to stay on, and one set comes off or loose once a year or so. My thought here is, it maybe the tire compound and the glue don't go well together, but who knows?
Well that is my two cents worth![&:]

Well spoken and I totally agree with you on the first part of your post there. Very true...VERY true.

Just came back from the track.

WOW...it always freeks me how fast the MT is on the road tracks, its so powerfull the beed was broken on all 4 wheels by the end of the session from power slides and high speed turns...siyanara CA glue for that area. Im still surprised my diffs are holding especially on the raod surface and the slicks have been treated with some stick sollution so that even if you throw them at the window, they'll stick like a mid-air squated fly pumelling into the window at mack 10.

Its set up super perfect now, breaks are excellent, power is great both low end, mid and high end. The engine really starts to peak when it hits the 250 mark...very nice. Today informally play-raced just for fun against a jato 3.3, savage X 3speed, revo 3.3 and another MT2 with a TM .18. I beat all of them and the MT2 was left for dead along with the savage , jato, and the revo only when second kicked in...almost beat me on the take-off though. On the last race all my tyres beeds were just snagged and had to stop mid tank - I really hate that, waist of fuel. So now I have to get new tyres and rims for the MT2, clean her up with a nice wash and lube her up nice and loose, make sure she is spankingly clean....the car I mean, the car....dirty buggars.

Anyway it was just some good quick fun for a while, had a BBQ after and talked about JETS...ha ha ha.
