Speaking of phone chargers I need to find an easy fused B+ source to tap for a generic cigarette lighter socket. I'm sure its there somewhere I just havent really searched yet.

Alchemy - the study of how to turn LS1's into a 20B. :science:


If you need to run a shitload of power wires from the battery, there's probably a 1.5" diameter hole in the passenger firewall from the harness going through. :v:

But my fuel economy :saddowns:

Also this is already the biggest engine by displacement and raw numbers that I've ever owned, the next closest even comparable was the 2.5 in my E30 and (displacement wise) the 2.6s in the Froot Truck 2 and Starion. Everything else has been 2L or smaller, and I'm up to 17 cars now I think at last count. Maybe 18.

Something happened here but it doesnt seem to be leaking now, hose tag looks newer.



Upper control arms and front shocks are on the menu.



Cooler assembly










Words dont do justice how bright this dome light is, its in additional to the normal domes.



Gutted rear doors, but I do have the door panel for it.

I saw one of these on I-5 S towards SODO/Georgetown at about 8:30pm Thursday night. Would that have been you??

I actually had never seen a Seattle blue former cop car before, that I knew of, so it's kind of weird that I saw one IRL and then see this thread.

Its likely it was me, actually. Was out cruising for the gently caress of it. I was in that area around that time, I've already had 2 friends spot me in Ballard too.

Also, dick move to let my car idle at the entrance to our lot to get the heat running? :v:

Oh god that roof. Nice to see you still have the ticket light though. I still have mine but the cover busted off so it's EVEN BRIGHTER. I think my ticket light can illuminate cars next to me :v:

Also, if we're consolidating here as Panther owners, can I show off mine? Because I love mine :allears:



Love that big barge. Out of the cars i've owned, it's my favorite by far.

I think it'd be more fun that way, to be honest. Since it's not such a rare car and theres a larger community base in Ai than say a 142, it doesn't need quite the same spotlighting and we can all share! I'll PM IOwnCalculus.

My ex room mate went down for selling coke to an undercover in a Town Car for what its worth.

Course, I've also seen someone get pulled over by an undercover Neon. How do you manage to pull THAT beat?

The cops here (western australia) have been getting wise for a few years now, I've seen unmarked Subaru hatches and ford explorers doing freeway patrol of late. I've never really gotten fearful of commodores here because 9 times out of 10 it turns out to be some knob hockey in a Holden ute that pulls up behind you at speed :(

(and can't post for 11 years!)

I got pulled over by a riced out 99-00 Civic Si ages ago (I think this was in 2001?). I assume it was something that was seized from someone, but I saw it a lot for about two years. One hell of a "I'M NOT A COP" sleeper for sure..

I've also been pulled over by a mid-late 80s Aerostar with peeling paint (in the mid 00s).

Gotta love the suburbs. :allears:

This has been on my list for a long time. Honestly if I could have found one that I could afford back in school I wouldn't even have the truck. But if I am still alive after I wrap it around a cactus the drivetrain will be going in a p71 next.
