Re: Jaguar XJS shopping

My first thought on the red one is its an outlier for a reason. However not really knowing the market for these it might be that this seller is the only motivated seller. Even though I don't see any obvious problems I'd probably get a carfax on the red one. I was looking at this platform for a while...

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

All the passes were done with T/C and Stabilitrak off. I will try checking the stall speed with those off though to see if it changes anything. Can't recall if my original test was with it on or off. Based on the amount of pull on the brakes at 1500 (with T/C off) I'd say it's not going to change an...

Re: 2022 Jetta GLI

ECS tuning is less than 10 minutes from my house - could pick up your next oil change kit. Maybe some kind of barter for some Grain Belt?

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

Last Friday was a big day for this car. I ran out of time before Friday to get the paint on so I only got primer on the LR quarter panel. It's decent but not smooth enough for paint yet. After that I had some work getting the front end aligned as well as the LR. Toe in and steering wheel alignment a...

2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T

With the arrival of the V6 I'm planning to sell this one.

Car runs good, tracks straight, brakes like new, cold A/C.

Just over 119k miles. Still sorting out which tires will be on it and the asking price (should be $7k range)

I'll get some better pics here in the next week or so.

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff

I will need more seat time on dirt to get the reaction time down. Also no idea yet what is the best tire, what E85 can do, how much more power is there with tune up and basic performance mods. For the street has I might also need to experiment with touring mode vs sport mode to keep it from breaking...

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff

Three generations participated in the dirt drags mentioned above as Rachel joined us also. Turns out the Charger and her are a pretty good combo as she was the last one in the winners bracket. I had her beat in my 2nd race but broke out by .002. The blue F150 from losers bracket won twice against he...

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

Updates: Bodywork: - LR quarter is taking shape. Still some work to get the shape better but it's taking shape. I was tempted to get paint and just put it on but its just not ready forthat. I'm not looking for show car but there's too many imperfections. - Put primer on it - Reassembly in progress I...

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff

The Challenger did well for it's first time out. I still have things to learn and get consistent. Sadly the RPMs were up just a bit too much at the starting line and it creeped forward in round 1. I tried to adjust my reaction point but ended up with a red bulb -.0068 in round 1.

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45

First night at the dragstrip. Weather was decent with temps in the high 60's when I made my best pass. Best was 14.39, with 3 of the other 4 passes in the 14.40's. With a 2.1 60' time I'm sure there is more there with a posi or some way to launch it better. It's one wheel peel which means the best l...

Re: iRacing broadcasts

I put in a bunch of time practicing and learning how to drive this vehicle in rallycross. The best way I could figure out how to get around this course was to use handbrake (rear brakes only) on the dirt corners. I don't have a handbrake so I used the clutch pedal for the handbrake. This meant a lot...

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

Differential: * Replaced the stock breather with a low restriction breather just like I installed on the black Cadillac. I did spot check the breather on the black car and it was in place and looked good. * The fluid level is up * The fill/drain plugs on this car are 15/16" and those on the st...

Re: iRacing broadcasts

CCiS Mid Ohio: 18 cars, I qualified P7. I did a couple practices but didn't go crazy on prep. I missed the practice race as we were at KMP. For some odd reason the league decided to make this a 2 stop race. I tried to make it on one but too much saving was needed - but the practice actually helped m...
