My Vette doesn't have traction control so that's a non-issue for me.

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff
I also forgot to mention, that despite the rather bad air quality, there was a decent tailwind, and I was able to get my best ET in time runs at 13.66 and my best 60' at 1.80. The car is dead consistent with even decent traction. Three time runs at 1/4 mile were 13.68, 13.68, and 13.66. This is the ...

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff
For those who weren't there last night, the new track management has a lot of work to do to get organized. Hopefully they can get it figured out over the next few weeks. There was just a lot of confusion and lack of preparation on their part. It was frustrating. That being said, it was fun hanging o...

Re: 1987 BMW 325iC - white / tan
Those are all worthwhile upgrades to make that a daily driver. Especially the skid plate. That thing is LOW.
Alex, have YOU driven it yet?

2024 Drag Racing Stuff
Wednesday, Wednesday, WEDNESDAY!!! Tonight is finally the first Wed night of the season at Kuhnle Motorsports Park. In a off season full of drama, at least they're open and the gates open at 5. I don't know much about the rest of the evening schedule or classifications, but I'll be there with bells ...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
I agree. Since it's there, I figured it couldn't hurt to have the option. Probably just going to put the switch under the hood.

Re: 2005 Yamaha Raptor 660
Lately any ride I took since I put the new tires/wheels on the thing has been pulling to the right pretty badly. I tried some eyeball tie rod adjustments to no avail, so I got out my trusty Factory Shop Manual and did the specified adjustments and the thing still pulled a lot to the right. Scratchin...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
We got the new hose installed last weekend and put it all back together. After a trip around the block we checked and there was oil coming from what looked like both fittings where they threaded into the cooler. So yesterday we set out to figure out the problem. We took all the shrouding back off an...

Re: 1979 Malibu
I'm sure that big steering wheel was in there to help steer the car with no power steering. Your ingress / egress ease will be a tradeoff with harder steering at slow speeds. Looks like a video game wheel!

Re: 1979 Malibu
Are going to wrap that exhaust pipe between the block and radiator? Seems like a big source for underhood heat. That fan and radiator combo should be quite a bit better.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
What a crazy concoction of engineering there... Even in the 90's I would think there would be a better way to handle that. How much would you say that three motor assembly weighs?

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
I got the new transmission cooler mounted in place with a simply cut 1/8" aluminum L bracket from Home Depot and some precision drilling on my part. Unfortunately there was not enough hose included in the kit (only 4') to reach my existing tranny lines on the bottom of the radiator, so the proj...
