    Always loved the winged express with Wild Willy.
    I really wish NHRA would have these again.
    But they are to stupid to know what’s right in front of them.
    Yea there are lot of faster cars.
    But they can’t hold a candle to these guys..

    It has a hole for the drain plug, and it has a removable door for the filter. So yeah it will be harder for my mechanic to get to. But it looks cool and its OEM Toyota part, and adds HP. I new you would like it.:rofl::thumbsup::rofl:

    Lol plus trying to keep the oil from running down the inside and dripping after you get home which causes a panic and wanting new truck for free.

    Just being a smart ass. I tip my mechanic at Christmas time, they deserve it. Always try to work around their schedule, and make appointments well in advance. I have a small private shop do my work, nice place with up to date gear, clean. I have great respect for guys like you that do it right.

    NHRA will never bring back the short wheelbase Fuel Altereds because of the 90" wheelbase rule . You'll only see them in Nostalgia race series such as the CHRR at Famosa

    The first time I ever saw a Fuel Altered was in NORCAL at Fremont drag Strip In the early 60's with my Parents !!
