hello everyone,
i hope you all are enjoying your labor day weekend.
Last night on the way home from the drag races the tiger hit 90,000 miles.
Wow isnt it amazing to see all the little things flip over. LOL But so far the
tiger is running very very good. Except a little missing here and there but
not that noticable. I ordered personalized plates about a month ago and am
picking them up on Thurday. They say "V8 TIGER." And then on the back we also
have a border thing that says" Its red, Its Fast, AND ITS MINE" lol.
But now the things that we still need to get done. We need to get the front
end alligned, because it starts the shake a little at 75-80 but then after 80
it stops. And we need to get the little short chrome pieces put on that go
right behind the TIGER sign. And then we want to see if some of the scratches
and things on the paint could be buffed out or fixed. Cuz right now, the
paint job on there looks great in some spots, but then there are places where
it
is noticeable of the scratches. And thats about all that we want or need to
get done to make it really looking good.
I put a new starter on about 200 miles ago. The old one would drag the
battery down down down down... And when they tested the old one it took 2x
more
cranking amps then the new 1 and also the old one he said sounded like it was
on its last leg. So now, if some of you remember me asking why the battery
was going dead all the time, well it was the starter. Ohh and if you remember
me asking about the Tach problems, well thats fixed too. And it was the
starter all the time.
And one more problem that we have, but not after today is i need to replace
the gasket on the goose neck that goes into the intake. It is dripping
anti-freeze little by little. BUt i am going to fix that today.
Thanks alot for reading, have a wonderful labor day weekend. And like tony
said GO DRIVE THE BEAM.
