I'm debating on whether or not to call today. I'll report back when I find out though.

I know, that's why everyone loves me.

Just an update: The garage called today and told my daddy that the car needs "the clutch fixed, release bearings, transmission brackets, front cv joints, etc, etc". I don't know anything specific about what they're doing other than its gonna cost $575 and I wont have it back till at least Friday. Sucksssss.

Hey yall! A lot of people have asked what I've been up to lately cause I haven't been posting much. Well, the last time I posted in here my tangerine dream got a new clutch and several other things done, like transmission mount and such. Yesterday, one of my classmates and I changed the power steering lines in it, the return line was leaking so my teacher hooked me up with the lines from a 98. It was pretty easy and didn't take us too long once we got going on it.

Within the next couple of weeks, it's getting new back tires and hopefully a cobra front bumper. Then the next few months after that a cobra r hood and new fender. After that I'll be buying suspension parts (shocks, struts, springs) for when I get to suspension class in January. That is, of course, if everything goes as planned. With my car normally when I make a plan like this something breaks and that's where all my money goes. We'll see. After I get the body and suspension straight, I'm gonna start working on the really fun stuff like cams and exhaust haha.

nice platform! i see alot of obvious things I would change. Whats with everyone painting their tail light bezels black? Looks horrible imo.

The SN95 Saleen cars had their bezels painted black. I have mine painted the same way.

Thank you! There's been a lot of sweat and blood put in that car. Plenty of money, and more aggravation than anything else. But every time something bad happens, like I get dumped, I sit in my car and cry. My car is always there for me, more than any of my friends. We have a good bond.

I love my little tangerine machine. It's never let me down, and I'm gonna try my best to return the favor to it.

Trust me, I wont stop till it spits badassness. I forgot to mention, I have a Twitter for anyone whos interested in what's going on with the tangerine machine. I normally don't have time to stop and update on here a lot. So it's easier to be able to send text messages and pictures to my Twitter and update quickly what I'm doing.

I don't either, but if I don't say what I'm doing when I do it, I'll never remember to update about it. I don't have it so much so other people will see, so much as so I'll remember what I did. haha I have a one track mind so I get to thinking about something else and I forget to update here what I last did, obviously lol.

Knuckles@Empire · Sep 30, 2011

I think its about time i jumped on this twitter thing, I need a follower though, I think you should volunteer.

Yesterday me and my friend went to Columbia for the Fat Boys cruise in and hung out with the people from the Wild Horses club. It was an awesome day and we met some pretty cool people, definitely looking forward to going back again! Anyway, I wanted to post one last picture of my car on here before I start actually doing things to it and the photo that was taken at the cruise in is perfect, it shows exactly how the car looks lol. Next couple of weeks...
