Re: Tiresmoke Turbo Trailer

Very nice. Even when we started road racing, could not have envisioned either of us having a new enclosed trailer.

First time I noticed the custom plate on the Maliboost 8)

Can you add a hitch to the back of the trailer to tow the utility trailer you use for drag week?

And finally - that ...

Re: 1991 Jaguar XJ-S

if the rears are at 1/2 degree negative (further in at the top) with the weight on the rear tires, that is at the bottom end of acceptable range but should actually be the best contact patch at rest the factory spec allows.

It might be interesting to read some reviews from when this car was new to ...

Re: 1991 Jaguar XJ-S

What is the factory spec for camber and toe in and how close is the car to spec? If you have too much camber it can load more weight on less of the tire which would make it easier to chirp. There are probably other possibles like weight distribution due to higher ride height.

Re: Chester Car Show, 7-12-2025

Made it out to the show and we ended up with Mark S parking right with us. I failed epically to get pictures of the rest of the show. Decent attendance. Easily over 100 cars I don’t have the exact count.

We had a 10x10 pop up and it really helped keep us out of the sun.

Challenger got a fair ...

Re: Chester Car Show, 7-12-2025

with the fold down rear seat I should be able to bring one of the bigger ones I have. I'll let you know if it doesn't fit later today.

Re: Chester Car Show, 7-12-2025

Ok see you then.

Bringing a chair and a cooler. Don’t know if there’s room for a pop up to catch some shade.

If it gets too hot we can always ditch early

Re: 2007 Mini Cooper S

I did a bad job as wingman didn't spend a lot of time going over the car. Anyway its super clean underneath too.

We met the seller just a minute or two before a huge downpour. Luckily we parked on the east side of the building with a big overhang so we could chat a bit til the worst of it blew ...

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45

Side project: Seat cooling passenger side

The SXT Plus model has heating and cooling in the front seats. As I learned with the driver seat, the replacement seats I purchased were from a base model and didn't have these features. I have been thinking about doing this upgrade - but what prompted me ...

Re: 1991 Jaguar XJ-S

My first thought is - front sprints had to have settled also over all that time so you might want to change those out also. I also wonder how well aftermarket springs meet the factory specifications for loading/spring rate.

CCiS 2025 Season Race 7 Sebring Race Report

Back to the BMW M2 which I still don't like. At least this time they used their updated setup which was much more manageable.

Qualified 20 of 26. I felt pretty good about my pace but it just wasn't enough. I didn't make many mistakes though. In the ...

Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Premium 3.6 AWD - Mostmint #47

Another small upgrade is getting a spare key for the car.

I ordered a cheap one on eBay. When I went to install it I learned the sequence to program the remote requires me to put the physical key in the door and turn it counter clockwise five times. The instructions are actually in the owner manual ...

Re: 1991 Jaguar XJ-S

If you want to save money on tools, consider making a list of things you may want/need, then start shopping used. I think that in this country there is an oversupply of hand tools. It's going to be an adventure securing what you want but you can probably get 3x the tools or more for the money. For ...
