i got her back
 
my trans went out after doing about 5 launchs
i was do 0-60 test on my 95 stock sc300 with 210,000 miles on it

and i was rev her to about 6000 than slap her in drive then my converter started slippin and then trans stoped going in gear so had to get it towed to
go the trans pulled fluid black and converter fuild black so i had my trans shipped out to aareman.com $1850 to get drag clutchs and a pro drggon stall covrter with 2300 stall and will hold up 750 hp . (3 months ago)(yes i am the biggest moron yet)

now waiting to get trans back and Boost Logic Stage 2 NA-Turbo Kit that i orderd. (2 months ago)


the place that i shipped out my original trans to get rebuild. decided just keep my trans and $1850 :mad:. but now there the fbi's problem (1 month ago)

had to sell my boostlogic kit to pay for a used trans and lawyer fees :cry:
but thursday i got my car :) and yes i learned my very exspensive leason but i still cant spell. so i went and picked here up for the shop and deiced to take her out for a drive through curve back roads and nexts think i know i have red and blue light behide me turns out i was going 55 in a 30 but all i got was a ticket for $199 and 4 points. i think my sob story helped (5 days ago)


so moral of it is
1.treat your car with respect

2.do all repairs your self

3.have a sad life story to tell police

if i would of had respect for my car none of this would of happened :(

but i guess had to learn the had way :egads:

I did this with a supercharged ford thunderbird when I was 17 and it took it, but I only did it on wet roads because I was afraid I'd screw it up worse on a dry road and ya know when you're 17..... it's all you got.

Those Thunderbird SC's are pretty quick. My buddy had one of those when we were in high school. Seems like it had around 300 lbs/ft. with the stock setup if I remember right.

And sucks to hear about your trans, jth3rd. I just recently had to replace my flywheel and torque converter so I feel your pain on expensive fixes.

wow i really wanna sympathize with you and say how bad i feel for you and your car and all that jazz but in the end i think you deserve everything except the trans shop screwing you. if you consider yourself a car guy you should know better then just do stupid things like neutral bomb your car. i think its a waste of time and space on here to tell us what mistakes youve done. if anything this makes you look even worse. i would gloat about this extravaganza :)

on a positive reinforcement note: good luck with getting your trans shop suit worked out. i assume they are not local otherwise you would have gone over there already. how much are you paying for the lawyer. im surprised those guys let it go that far. did you actually file a suit or just threatened them with a suit?

rwdanthony 10-27-08 07:43 AM

with all that money... you couldve bought a whole new sc haha. but im glad your definitly gonna learn from this.
