So i blew a head gasket, sounds like a good time to take out a large loan and dump a bigger, newer engine in my beast.
Now I need a bigger exhaust, radiator, ect. But with a stroke of luck it gets better gas mileage!!
Ok now I have more power, but the rest of the drivetrain is not liking it. First the driveshaft bails out, then when teaching my lil sister to so burnouts I blow out the spider gears, the clutches in the tranny are starting to wear, not to mention the tires i go thru.
People think i am crazy but i figure there is only so many parts i can "upgrade" (after breaking) until i dont have to worry about breaking stuff.
When does it all end? I hope never I love doing this stuff. The day I stop pushing cars to the breaking point is the day i die, Cause if your not breaking stuff Theres room for "upgrades"
It may not be the fastest or prettiest, but i can pretend

The trick is once you stop breaking things it's time to build a higher horsepower engine
