2005 Club Car DS Custom Woodie

Moved into our new house in a golf community. So of course, I had to get a golf cart. This is a frame off retro resto. Those are real white walls and hydro dripped woodie panels. Basically new except motor. Speaking of, it’s 48V but only does 14 mph. Possible motor upgrade in the future.

Re: cheap car racing

Any chance a bad PCV valve could cause that much blowby?

Re: 2003 S-10

I had a dream last night that you supercharged the truck and ran a 9.99 1/4.

I think that second one is something like $7K. Ouch, but looks amazing.

Re: Posi Burnouts

I can't remember. I guess I have to take the out the truck find out. But I think it's to the right. Per previous post about weight distro, I wonder how much the crown of the road matters since it favors right.

Re: Spring Carlisle 2018

Hence why we should consider making this a private forum ;)

Re: Spring Carlisle 2018

I think Fred is subtlety referring to a new tradition of truck vs truck battle royale with driver swaps. I think TireSmoker has a couple videos that perhaps could be shared though perhaps privately :) For example, next year a 442 vs GTO battle would be good ;)

Re: Spring Carlisle 2018

I'm surprised you didn't do some sort of montage picture for all the orange 57 Bel Airs we saw. You'd think they had some sort of clearance sale on the color or something.

Re: 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible

Yeah, it's a 400 with a mild build. The shop dialed it back as much as possible.

Re: 1966 OLDS 442

Well, any time I talk about going EFI on the GTO, someone always mentions I'll get better mileage. Which for a car that will only cruise around on weekends, I don't really care. But hey, good for the environment I guess :)

Re: 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible

So the GTO is finally home and figured I'd do a brain dump since it's been a while. I knew I had to invest a little for a "100 point inspection" and address the top items. The shop basically had to replace front/rear shocks, adjust rear 6-link suspension, put front springs back to stock, r...

Re: Spring Carlisle 2018

I had an absolute blast, especially Friday night. Nothing cooler and stranger than racing against your own ride. Thanks to everyone for helping out TheRookie with his rookie season at Carlisle. I got some good stuff for the GTO that will keep me busy for a while. I'm still hoping everything works ou...
