Anyone who has a '02-'07 Lancer (all models) with a leaking A/C vent be prepared to replace your blower motor or the resistor.

Design is backasswards, I tell you.

I'm just gonna rant here about how for some reason the vent tube is not behind a panel under the glovebox, but rather the motor itself is, and it would take a hell of a lot of work to get the tube. Took the car to my once-trusted car place to get the vent unclogged and cleaned out since it would have been a bitch of a job to do myself. They got water all over my gorram motor and wanted me to pay them for parts and labor to replace it.

Did it myself. Screw you guys!

Just finished my motor for my 55 buick, and Im so proud I thought Id show it off.

it starts as a 454 chevy that has a 6.385 length rod and a stroked crank of 4.250. Which bumps up the cubic inches to a whopping 540 cid!! the compression ratio (which is the basic foundation of any high performance motor) is....*drum roll please* 275lbs which equates to 13.5:1.....holy mamma!!!

running a 312/514 cam with a 106 lobe sepration which will give it the "barely idling" lumpy sound to it. I expect to make bout 600 fuckin horsepower!!! thats just with the engine itself. The horse power will only climb when I start adding intake manifolds, headers, demon carburator etc. I havent decided on the specifics of the bolt on shit yet, but it will be NASTY AS FUCK!!!

I still have a long way to go. Ive been working on getting the body in order. Got lots of rust and shit in the trunk and quarter panels and tryin to replace sheet metal throughout the car. Im shaving the door handles so it will open with the remote on my key chain.

Next comes the suspension. It will be lowerd 2.5 inches all the way around and tucking 18 inch rims. Going 24 wide in the back and some pizza cutters in the front.

I still gotta get a tranny figured out along with proper rear end gear ratio.

But the motor looks sick as fuck!! Im excited as hell!!

on another really good note that Im excited about:

the short story version.....My high school auto shop teacher was a huge role model to me. He pretty much steered me in the right direction at my young age and took me under his wing and showed that life doesnt have to be full of hate and greed.

So 20 years has past since then and I have been trying for the last 10 to be a high school auto shop teacher. Well....I finally got my foot in the door teaching night classes at a local high school. Its for an adult program called ROP (some of yall mught know what that is). Its pretty low paying (almost volunteer type shit) but it gets my foot in the door to get into high school auto shop teaching. Im pretty excited. Ive been wanting to do this for years!! Now I finally got my chance!! Unfortunatly these days teachers period (much less auto shop teachers) dont make a whole lot of money. But Ive always wanted to make a difference in some yougsters life like someone did for me when I was young, dumb, and reckless.

Funny part is, my real last name is Carr. Kinda fitting huh? "good morning class" "good morning Mr Carr." I love it!!

First off David Carr? Lol! The most beat up quarterback in history. 2nd, 4.250? You know you stroke your crank a whole lot more than that. 3rd, good luck on that teacher stuff bruh. I believe they are waaay underpaid so I commend you in wanting to go that route.
