So I purchased a set of JDM tails and a set of OEM sideskirts and the wait is just killer... I've been checking the tracking no. for both of them every day!

Damn I'm so eager to get them on the car...

Yeah, things aren't exactly going to the contiguous US so I'm expecting them to take a little longer. They're coming to PR.

I placed an order to the North Pole in December of 1988 ... still haven't heard **** from that fat salesman in the red suit ... everytime I call I just hear "HoHoHo" and then he hangs up. I don't speak Elvish, but that can't be good. I'm never getting my Voltron set or Power Wheels Jeep.

Yup, he put two tanks of Nitrous on my tab so I converted my Eclipse into an acetylene torch with wheels.

Best looking body kit I've ever seen for an Eclipse.

You get your new parts yet, Syaoran?

You killed it!
Try telling that to a set of pistons. But now that you mention it, it isnt combustable on its own(its simply a catalyst) so how did the green Eclipse blow up?
And when they say "he has nitrous in his blood" that must mean(literally) he either has decompression sickness or is using whipped cream cans in a manner unlawful in the State of Cali...


Oh and that post was epic richee3. You can haz interwebs.

......... biggrin.gif

I seem to remember a big to-do about this. Kind of like parts burning in Apollo 13 ... how'd they burn in space ... which is a vacuum? But other than this scene, The Fast & The Furious is a 100% factual and accurate portrayal of the street racing lifestyle around the turn of the century laugh.gif

Agreed. A small amount of sulfur dioxide (I think it's like 9 or 10%) is added to automotive-grade liquid nitrous oxide to prevent substance abuse.

I wonder how many menthol Kool's you gotta trade for Nitrous blood. Let's see, 30 for surgical shine job for night vision ... so what, like 20 for nitrous blood?
