Purchased A Used Backdraft

[Goodbar]

[quote=Igotta P;1289393]I'll be interested to hear what you think about your T5 as I'm not that thrilled with my TKO. I hope the other guy's delivery went well - Nothing like the pain of putting a BDR away right after delivery. BTW, I'm a little north of St. Cloud.


Based on the continued "Wintery" weather with more snow on its way I may not know about my T5 till July. What bugs you about the TKO? His is still on the way and delivery got delayed until Monday or Tue, he was pretty bummed. He will be smiling soon. Were both near Anoka so just a short cruise away. Thats 3 BDRs within 50 miles, not bad!
All I want to do to hold me off is go to Fleetfarm and buy a few gals of ethanol free fuel (Its empty from shipping it) pour and start the little beast, that will at least be give me some sort of very short lived... but nice cheap thrill.

Cool. I'll see you guys sometime at the Anoka Car Show - just 2 short months away.

My TKO-600 commonly misses (I miss) 3rd gear when under heavy load. I've read this is a common problem with this trans. I'm swapping out to a Hurst short throw shifter, maybe that will help.

BTW, AvGas adds a little extra snort. I mix it with 92 octane. Let's keep in touch. Remember... >50 degrees + sun shining + dry roads = Cobra time.

I still get a smile on my face as I remember putting the peddle on the floor. I am just south and west of the cities and would quite enjoy a gathering of our loud toys.

Congrats! Nothing relieves stress like 0 to 60 in < 4 seconds in a Backdraft.

Henderson's Classic Car roll in on Tuesday nights is one of my favorite places to be. Trouble is, it's about 3 hrs from my house - so I don't get there very often. Hopefully we can coordinate and hang out there sometime.

That looks like a beautiful town that I have yet to visit. I have never heard of the Roll in there) Looks fun. Another cobra just came to Andover near here so but do not know who yet owns the black beast. The Minnesota Cobra club is pretty dead at the moment, hopefully will come to life soon. Are you involved in the Oddfellow group here in Minnesota? I tried to subscribe with no success, email link dead.

Gassed up my car and let some fuel course through the carb much to my neighbors dismay, the excitement builds... need plates yet.
