I should bring those thing out before it gets too cold, but every time I do that it ends up costing me $200 in parts and atleast a day of running around finding them.

The only problem I found with aluminum parts is when they get damaged, they are much more costly to repair; and they get damaged a lot easier. I have some really cool pieces for the revo though; the aluminum gas tank looked sweet. And if you replaced things like the suspension mounts it would add a nice difference without breaking the wallet.

Well, I finally started mods to my IONs...

Roland Mesh head. I'm definitely doing the other 3 pads. Sensitivity has gone way up with no double hits.

Does drag racing count, as it still involves the Dak? I got involved after a friend talked me into seeing what the truck would do. Now im hooked! Wish I had got interested before I bought the truck (3.7L)

Talking

My previous money pit was music. At one point, many years ago, I wanted to be a rock star! I have three guitars sitting in a closet, a 256 track mixer on my computer, and a Zoom GFX-5 effects processor. (Sorry, no pics as yet, just recordings...) Long live AC/DC!
