drag racing is kinda cool i guess, but i'm more into cars that can turn left and and right as well as take off and stop quickly, ie, f1.. i'm really not feeling the new sound of the f1 engines this year, but what can i do about that?
i was into drag racing when i was about 17'ish or so, but as i've aged ,so has my tastes in motorsports..

2 out of 3 have become utilitarian, just haven't taken the time to maintain 'pleasure ride. 'plus so much else is happening. If it was a passionate hobby or sport, (i drive so much already anyway) but yes,
I'd be listening to them engines more if autos were where it's at.

Not a mechanic, so rides become pricey overhead,
2 out of 3 aren't running... see if i can get ol bessy

Not cool by standards here buuuuuuutttt im getting a 2014 f150 5.0 4x4 with camburg long travel front end, fox internal bypass 3.0s, deaver rear leaf springs and fox 3.0 threetube bypasses for the rear. The dealership must be hard up cause with my $12000 suspension im still only paying 42k(financing wil be more of course). Then again where i live you see more 80-100k trucks than honda civics. They most likely cant usually give away the trucks with fleet level interior

I'm replacing my clutch soon, anything else I should make sure I change? I already have main crank seal and pilot bearing on the list. Anything else I should do since I have it apart?
