I might go,what day is it?
I heard clubman is building a new car,is this right. I saw the car when he put it in the trailer last year and all i kept thinking is what a shame. What really happened between him and MIB last year? Clubman won the race but what happened after? Is Brent Rau going to be there? I saw him last year at englishtown and that car was fast!!
Is Edgar going to buy that brown rolla? That is what i heard but I never know what to believe.
And now lets hear what you are buying!

Re: freight shipping
 
the class is going to be 85. dont EVER ship anything via ups or fedex freight. they are ridiculously expensive compared to others. the cheapest is Estes or you can go terminal to terminal through forward air.

No, I paid less. It was not finished and not running. It now is running pretty good and has full exhaust (3" mandrell) and i made all new links for the rear end. Hell, I would sell it for less than that now!!!!

Re: freight shipping
 
oo damn.. he told me he was selling it for lik 6000.. well how much would you sell it now if you were to sell it?

win0857 10-01-2008 10:23 PM

Re: freight shipping
 
I have Around 5,000 into it and i would sell for that just to get my $$ back, the time i spent on it is free. I want to see someone get this who really likes it and doesn't just beat the crap out of it. If you need more pictures or want to come and see it let me know. ALOT of guys say they want it but when i start talking money they walk.

Re: freight shipping
 
ya no i understand that thers money into cause i have one of my own.. but im going to let sum people know around here.. i know of a few people that might be interested.. will you take trades at all?

win0857 10-02-2008 09:10 AM

Re: freight shipping
 
I would rather sell, the only way i would trade is if i think i can get more $$ for the trade vehicle. This car has serious potential, that saturday was it's 1st outing with NO tune and ran a 12.56 it's 1st pass. I put the 4 bar sensor in it last weekend because we pegged the 2 bar. I also put 26/8.50/15 slicks on it because i was spinning the 255/50/15 g-force drag radials off the line. I bet this car will run low 11's or high 10's as is. Just some more boost and the better traction. Thanks for telling people about the car.
