We decided to head to the drag strip this weekend. Drove for 3.5 hours to Tri-state Raceway in Earlville, Iowa. There weren't too many cars there, but it was a good time.
I just got some new street wheels and tires for the car, so I figured I would just run those, and not put my other MT ET...
I have the same problem with mine on the passenger side. I can tuck it in, and 10 minutes later it is right back to where it was.
I would very much like to fix it, I just don't know how....:(
I went with the PA Racing K-Member and A-Arms. The K-member fit like a glove.
I am pretty sure that my stock K-member weighed in at 83lbs. The new PA Racing member was 33lbs. So right there I knocked 50lbs off the front. Then the A-arms were probably a couple of pounds lighter each.
The only thing I had connected to my Coil bracket, besides the coil, was some sort of an interference capacitor. I think there was just one wire that was going to it.
I took that capacitor and wire off this year, and haven't noticed any bad effects.
I know that my factory radiator had a strange way of leaking.
It seemed like it would only leak while the car was warming up. Once it had been up to operating temp for a while, it wouldn't leak anymore.
the only time I would see any coolant on the garage floor is if I only took it for a...
Thanks,
I am pretty happy with how the headlights look. They are the smoked headlights from Blue Oval Industries.

Actually now that you mention it, I should head over to the local tire shop. They have a huge bin of old tires that are shot.
I know I could get one of those for free to slap on there and see how much clearance I am actually going to have.
Sweet. That is looking nice.
I have to do the same thing yet. I have all the parts in the garage to do it, the only thing I need is more time.
It will be interesting to see how your times improve with a set of slicks.
I used to get takers when the car actually was almost stock. But since I have done all this stuff to it, I never seem to get anyone near me that wants to run em.
I have my idle set on the car at about about 790 - 800. It rocks the car a little bit, and has a healthy lope to it. I mostly...
Well I have been mulling it over for quite a while, and still haven't pulled the trigger yet.
I did put one of my 17X9 Cobra wheels on the front of my car, and after checking clearances, I don't think I would be able to fit a 275/40 without some spacers behind it. The rim is pretty close to...
If it aint one thing its another.
When I did the fuel pump on my car, I had the same issue. That seal tore on the fuel filler pipe. Except for I never noticed it till one of my friends was watching me at an auto X. Every time I took a fast corner to the left fuel would shoot out from the...
Oops, my bad. When I was writing up my post, for some reason I was thinking about my coilover setup. Because I know a lot of people have had some noise issues with it. I was thinking you had coilovers also. Sorry for the confusion.
Now that I am on the same page, as far as the just the...
My stock street tires are junk. They are pretty worn out right now. 1st and 2nd gear are pretty much a joke at anything over half throttle. I am waiting on my new 03 Cobra rims to show up, so that I can actually put a tire under there with a little meat on it.
When I went to the track last...
I am pretty happy with mine. They don't make any noise just cruising around, but I have heard just a little bit of noise if I hit a certain kind of bump at high speed.
When I put mine together I put some tape (can't remember if it is Tin or Aluminum tape) around the body of the strut. Then...
I took the car out and got a couple pics before it started to rain, then I got a couple of pictures while it was raining.
I've had the car for going on 4 years, and this is the first year I did something for the exterior, so I thought I would show it off a little.
So far the upgrades for...
my POS
Here are a few pictures I took yesterday of my car.
I was on my way back home and it started dumping rain. After it let up a little bit I decided to stop for a little photo opportunity.
That looks great.
I wish I would have mounted mine in the trunk, but I mounted it in front were the battery used to be.
You'll have to let us know what you picked up with it. I gained 40 rwhp just off the Meth injection and a little tuning for it.
