Re: 2013 wrangler unlimited

It has a good look. And zero rust. Any of those around here over five years old are rusty everywhere. I forgot about the Wozbean!

Re: 2005 Yamaha Raptor 660

With the North vs South race coming up in a couple weeks, I wanted to be quicker again than I was the last time out. Weight, and especially rotating weight is an easy way to achieve this mission. I bought a one size smaller front tire, and a one inch narrower rim, that is already lighter than the st...

Re: 1971 El Camino

It's super rare to see a classic car seller on eBay with 100% feedback. Says a lot about how they function.

Big boats on road courses should be a thing.

Re: 1991 Jaguar XJ-S

On both Mustangs I bought that sat a long time, I pulled all the door panels off and lubed up all the locking mechanisms from inside, and also did window tracks too. Both needed this desperately and made a world of difference. Guaranteed this has never been done to this car either. I would recommend...

Re: 1991 Jaguar XJ-S

I have a question. Did they make a Euro Bumper package for this thing? I mean, in the 70's and 80's guys would switch out the big American bumpers with the amazing crash ratings out for more stylish European versions. Is that a thing for this car?

Re: 1991 Jaguar XJ-S

For question 11, about who drives with their fog lights only. I do, and others do too regularly too as I notice while driving around. In my Mustang, I just do it during dawn / dusk driving cuz it looks cooler IMO. In my Ranger, I use it this way mostly when it's raining during the day and "head...

Re: 1991 Jaguar XJ-S

You need to lift up your spirits on this thing, you're bringing me down with your half empty energy. You already solved the battery draining issue and have put more than 100 miles on it without needing a wrecker to get you home. I'd say you're off to a good start. The leaks may be solved by driving,...

Re: 1991 Jaguar XJ-S

Any chance the clunking is just simply old shocks/struts not bounding and rebounding as designed? All the bushings on my Vette look like dried up turds, and there's zero clunks with my newer shocks.

They cover a lot of American ground in that one! Soo good.

Re: KMP Wednesday Night Grudge Racing

I went out with the idea of running my best ET in the S10. With the new drag shocks and my "race wheels", I thought this would be possible with the good air that was coming. My first pass was a promising 11.31 (best was 11.27). Second pass got me there with an 11.26. Third pass was only a ...

Re: 2003 S-10

Since I'll be taking the S10 to Indiana in a few weeks for the North - South dirt drag race, I've been thinking about how to get more traction. So I bought a set of Caltrac 90-10 front shocks for it. These work pretty good on the Vette, even with the limited travel, and they're priced pretty well. I...

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff

Despite the insanely terrible managemental organization last night, the outcome was still good. I'm glad they opened too because up to this point I had taken no hardware this year at all. I won against Gigantor in the finals by .0482 hard on the brakes. I ran a 11.58 on a .57 dial and knocked 8mph o...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

The "crossmember" that I was talking about is just two front frame support brackets that are plenty beefy, and clearly in the way of my pan, so I went to work with a grinder and a whizzer wheel. After a short while of that we test fit the motor and was able to easily get both mounts in pla...
