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 ...

Re: 2010 GMC Acadia - Mostmint #48

The rear spring bump stops were broken. Since Kurt will surely overload it I decided to go after this small project.

Taking off the rear wheels uncovered some sketchy looking parts of the chassis. I took the inner fenders off to get a better look, but it was pretty bad on both sides.

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45

Couple minor updates:

1) The RF had a slow leak . I finally got tired of it and looked at it. I found a tiny bead leak that had something sticking out. With a little help from the tire machine I moved the bead down and found a piece of rag in there. I had used that rag to keep the machine from ...

XSLR Season 9 Race 12 Indy Race Report

Qualified P8 of 15, ended P8. Race went caution free. I really struggled the last 10 laps of the first stint as the tires were quite hot and I had not practiced those conditions enough. The guy behind me pitted one lap earlier and that undercut got him ahead ...

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

Updates:

1) Fixing rear toe alignment took a couple tries. I was maxed out on the LR adjustment and still not in spec. Eventually I decided to do a four wheel alignment. That was tricky at first since the front tracking width is more narrow that the rear. Once I knew the difference I was able to ...

CCiS 2025 Season Race 6 Mosport Race Report

Qualified P22 of 33

Lost about 11 seconds on lap 1 after getting punted on exit of Moss Corner and that cost me a few spots. In the practice race I tried to pit as the field came to green but there were no lap 1 incidents, and I was not at all sure I ...
