and there is no real evidence of HG compromising around #4, or #3 or #2 for that matter. the destruction is out the front....

trust me, i know... it was impressive and scary at the same time. due to the fact that the fuel cell is up front there, i am glad it didnt blow up.

man Aaron, this whole saga really sucks for you. I can't wait to see the vids of it making evil noises at the drag strip. Oh, and you have one hell of a cute kid! At least it looks like he is still running strong :-D

sounds like tentatively a 10-15% off type deal. but its well into the $5k range now....
but i only know what i hear, and that is what he is trying to put together....
he said he will link me at the time, and i of course will thread it here if it is not already.

my sponsor will assemble the gearbox when i do get the parts....
and i am really looking forward to doing this. i feel i may have some better luck than Janis the Latvian MadMan (
) in keeping the trans alive as i am about 600+ pounds lighter, but its something needing done.
i will be spending some time with calculators and such, to determine MY BEST GEARSET when i do this. i will focus on the 24.5" tires i have and also make it work for 26" tires that i will probably eventually step up to.
also up is some clutch modding (hydraulic line stuff) and it seems some axle work too.
if i can get the big motor all together, i may just start out with it. its getting expensive blowing motors up, and those two full motors in 5 week span hurt me.

so, just updating this a little.
i took the first melted head to the shop to see about repair. so that is in the works. that is the ported AWP head, made 592 AWHP with 4 broken wrist pins. so that one will be going back in shortly.
in that, i will toss in the +1mm intake valves i have laying around, as well as all the rest of the good stuff; inconel ex valves, springs, retainers, new guides, etc.
so thats all, just saying to you's guys i am tired of taking time off. so i will be back to it. but not hard like before.
i am going to be doing the PAR dog-box, also....
parts coming are new radiator, working on some clutch flow control, and headbolts/studs. not gonna reuse after two separate head-lift incidents these Raceware studs....
