Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
You are now an expert! Has to be many more of these needing rebuilt - could be a side business.

Re: 2024 Group Swap Meet discussion
Not sure if I'll be ready this year but https://carlislepafairgrounds.com/proje ... nationals/
Since I'm not actively working on the Vette the need to do a swap meet has decreased, but if I was picking one from the list, fall Carlisle might an option.

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45
Rear axles installed, ebrakes assembled properly IMG_1121.JPG Big round of welding. Almost done. Missed a couple small welds, and still have to put the sheet metal on the bottom of the A-pillar in the door jambs.

Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD - Mostmint #46
Differential install is complete * differential breather is in place. I ordered one for a 5/16" fitting but it ended up 3/8". Quickly overcame that with a change of attachments. * turns out the bolts holding the halfshafts to the diff are one-time use torque to yield. I torqued them to 55 ...

Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD - Mostmint #46
Acquiring parts: * Went to pull a part to fetch the differential. Also secured a wheel center cap, exhaust tips, special washers for the rear suspension camber adjustment, and three the door handle trim pieces. The rear bolt was gorilla tight I had to use leg power on the pipe extension on the ratch...

Re: April '24 Nyerges Poker Invitational
I was card dead most of the night, I've run good at Chris's for a while so I was probably due for that. The royal flush draw also implies a flush draw and a straight draw. As it turns out an ace would have been enough as well. When none of that materialized on the river I couldn't put Dave on two pa...

Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD - Mostmint #46
Had to learn how to jack up this car to pull the diff. Differential is out - literally just unbolt the halfshafts and six bolts. I wasted some time because the rubber u-joint had metal sleeves that were slightly pressed in and I didn't understand this. After reviewing some videos I applied a few ham...

Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD - Mostmint #46
Few updates: 1) Differential 3.27 gear can buy a kit to replace the bearings and seals for as low as $70 can buy a new diff (Chinese I gather) for under $600 I found an ATS at local pull a part and it still has the diff in it. The car is wrecked in the front and the diff shows no sign of leaking. Th...

Re: 2022 Jetta GLI
Avoiding bison licking the car?! That's a story to tell
I've read somewhere in the past most people get uncomfortable when lateral g's go above .33 and if I recall correctly that is part of the guideline for recommended speeds (yellow signs) where there are bends in the road.

Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD
Hopefully I'll have it in racing condition for the opening Wednesday at KMP. And I kinda want to run it on the dirt dragstrip as well. The Corolla has needed like nothing other than tires, air filter and oil/filter since I got it. That part will be missed. To be fair it did need some work when I fir...

2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD - Mostmint #46
Apparently its time to replace the Corolla with something that has a little more zip. https://www.primeautosalesllc.com/details/used-2014-cadillac-ats/102223515 This car has a couple dings but its clean rust wise. It has 117k, brakes look new and are very responsive, and suspension is firm. I took a...
