Hood: • It’s time to get the hood on the car for good. Looking at the base of the hood it doesn’t line up well in several places, so I did a bunch of adjusting/straightening. • Both sides at the front were high – took me a while to figure out the latching mechanism had been bent up in the crash. I c...

Will be running at Sebring with the Mustang in ChampCar iRacing Series

What width are the rims?

And what width tire did you want?

The 6/6 event at Dragway 42 was a good event. KOI Drag Racing runs their program pretty well, and with racing on dirt there are very few interruptions. Short track and no burnouts mean a lot of passes get done. The weather was about perfect with temps in the 70s/60s with 0 wind where we were. BP cal...

More progress: Installed new caliper bins and LF brake hose. Bled the LF corner and the rear calipers which opened the door to moving the car. A short move from the right to left bay in the garage uncovered some leaks in the brakes. Had a couple lines that needed up to ¼ turn to tighten. Had to blee...

Tonight ChampCar iRacing Series is racing at Mosport. Broadcast should start around 9:10 PM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-6h0uZvFdg

A couple weeks back I ran the final event of the Season 15 of Spec-5 World Tour at LeMans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2DtdOnpKss

Planning to be there to make my debut on dirt and with a pro tree. Looking at street gas and 4/6 cyl 4WD classes. Street gas is 4.50 index so will do that if I'm close.

Might be the first time this car spins the tires at WOT.

Hearing it start up -- without issues! -- had to feel like a pretty good win. It was. I didn’t start the day thinking about starting it. It was sooo far apart that lots of things could have gone wrong. The fuel system was depressurized which I thought would take longer to resolve. Other than a few ...

Lots of visible progress Installed the windshield. Got some help from Kurt. Tried the Harbor Freight suction cups to hold the glass but only one worked. I had made handles with duct tape so that helped. IMG_1438.JPG Installed the engine and transmission. Raised up the car and rolled it in place. Con...

As it turns out I started at $7900. Lowered price today to $7400.

Made it out to KMP today - and team Tiresmoke was well represented. There were four of us and we all raced different classes. The weather was sketchy calling for rain in the late afternoon hours which kept a lot of people away. After missing the last time due to sketchy weather I decided I was going...

The dovetail looks a lot like mine so it will work. Main thing is to get the front of the trailer up high enough, also I've used ramp extenders to get cars with lower ground clearance on there. Also the gate looks like mine so I'm more comfortable it will support a car. It will be quite heavy, and i...

If this was mine I would locate every grounding point in the vehicle and clean them. Also I would re-seat all the fuses. At 12+ years old you are officially entering into old car territory. If this is not a common problem with this model (I assume Google is telling you its not) then it may be relate...

At 2 decades old that was a good idea. Was this for all four corners?
