Re: 1979 Malibu

Now that your car is super fast, and you have cool videos from inside the car, you need to replace the dash pad. :lol: :lol:

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff

I had my first outing with the Raptor last night. This is a whole new world for me. I was kinda glad they were 1/8 mile just to help me get acclimated to getting a feel for what's going on. I haven't had this thing over probably 30-35mph ever so there were a lot of variables. I was improving all nig...

Re: 1979 Malibu

I was right behind Dave for the 10.55 pass. It was straight and clean, and I could tell that there's still a ton more time in the 60'. The 10.55 is great, and there's a ton more potential sitting there in a little more tuning with no more power required. It runs straight and true, and sounds great. ...

Re: Quickest Cars on Tiresmoke

I know there's lots of updates that need to be done on this list. I just updated the Vette (minimal change).

Re: 2003 S-10

Two in the front, one for the rear axle. That's all of them. The old fluid was pretty dark.

Re: 2003 S-10

The S10 has been at Dad's for a few weeks while the Vette is at my place. I bought some braided brake lines awhile back with the intention of putting them on over the winter. Winter is clearly over but yesterday seemed a good day for the task. I didn't take any pictures so use your imagination, but ...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

I did know the headlight off trick. A headlight aiming tool would be handy. Might worth doing it with a full tank of gas since these hold so much fuel.
Definitely needs to be DARK to know if it worked.

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

So my headlight adjustment in the garage was pretty unsuccessful in the dark so last night I went out with a screwdriver at dusk and drove around making several adjustments, each one a little better, but I'm pretty happy how they turned out compared to what I had. With last Wed being a little crazy,...

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff

Dad and I went to KMP last night for another go at it. The improvements from last week that I noticed were that there were more people at the entrance gate getting signatures and taking money, so that went quickly. There is now at least a couple working speakers that I heard, so it's easier to know ...

Re: No burnouts allowed!

The cop was correct in drawing his weapon as that guy was putting other people's lives in serious danger. People can be soooo stupid.

Re: 1979 Malibu

That looks pretty slick. I'm sure there's a ready made hose for that scenario.
