    First, the RAD4 would not go into Reverse even to get out of the garage… So after my buddy pushed me out we were on our way. First gear went fine and then I tried to shift into second… NO GO INTO SECOND EITHER!!!! ARG :fuss: !@#$%^&*( :bang: But 3rd and 4th work fine! So I decided to truck on with just the first few set backs!

    Well at about 35 MPH I get some kind of terrible wheel hop in my front right tire (Guess it must just be WAYYY out of balance? Umm brand new tires and I just got them balanced). :(

    About 5 miles into the road test…. I FREAKING RAN OUT OF GAS!!!! I put 2 gallons in it! So I am getting 2.5 MPG???? :shrug:

    ARG so I had to have my friend tow me back to my garage with my mufflers between my legs! :damnit: :damnit: :damnit:

    Good news out of the entire trip... Engine ran great! Timing is off a bit but that is very fixable!

    That was my horrible night, how was yours?

    Seems like the first test run stuff alwas messes up, you will get them worked out eventually. My night was good turned out my 88s oil pump didnt go it was just the sending unit.

    the boss bought me dinner, then I did some more tearing apart of the front suspension, which is going great.

    and the bad: my Sonics lost
