    Helmet Rules - NHRA

    Hmmm.....so maybe just go run and see what they bitch about huh. My bud across the street just said to check the IHRA regs since the local tracks usually run those. I'm pretty confident mine will run below 13's.....well maybe not with me driving since I'm a newb...but the car will do it. I...

    Helmet Rules - NHRA

    I'm wanting to take my car to the strip. I have a rear battery and installed a shut-off switch. The only other requirement is a helmet. Per previous owner, it runs mid 12's. Does anyone know the most recent NHRA helmet requirements. I tried to read the 2009 amendments and they just...

    Handz Detailed: 2002 Corvette Z06 Black

    Looks good. I love my black car....but keeping it clean is such a pain. I did some detailing on it in the spring, but not quite to that level. Just did a wash, clay bar, clear coat cleaner, polish, then wax.....all using a Porter Cable and the appropriate pads. Came out great minus some...

    Oh yea? Well post your coupes and lx hatches here!!!

    Who else besides me thinks mine would look better with a black shift knob? Besides the look, I don't know how many times my hand has slipped off that thing when I'm really getting on it.

    How do I convince my wife this is a good deal?

    I understand completely! Last fall when I bought my Fox....I started looking at cars for 2-3k. Most of them needed so much work. I looked at mine and it was 6k. I managed to finally convince my wife that I could buy a car for 2-3k and spend 10k on it to get it into the same condition the...

    upper Control arms

    I was just thinking when I read the thread title to just ditch the uppers and do the pan hard bar. That is the setup on mine. The ride quality is pretty rough, but the whole suspension is setup for the twisties, so I'm sure it all plays into the rough ride. The cornering on the other...

    3g alt upgrade on a budget.

    I went to a U-pull junk yard and just searched the Ford section. I don't remember all the vehicles....but most of the Cougar and T-birds I saw along with many Stangs had the 3g. If you know what one looks like along with the connectors, its easy to spot one under the hood of a junked car. I...

    Boat People

    Dat thar is a big arse boat! I'd love to have a boat like that and be able to just disappear into the sea for a weekend or something. I have a 18' bowrider that we bought new a few years back. Was nice buying new since it has caused us no trouble since....but the payment and resale...

    Great Car Show 7/11, Dublin, OH 27th Arthritis Annual

    Was that your red Pace Car that was sitting near the front? With the lights flashing? We stayed at that Extended Stay hotel. It was like 75 bux a night....and the rooms were all suites with the kitchenette and all. Couldn't beat it! Check out the Unemployment Line....I made a thread with a...
