    Kidd Valley Saturday, April 5th.

    Even if it rains I would expect about 10 cars or so, quite a few more if it stays clear or dare I say the sun comes out.

    Schuck's going away?

    I saw the other day that Schucks is looking to hire as many as five store managers for the NW area. Doesn't seem like a very secure job in light of this news.

    Kidd Valley Saturday, April 5th.

    I will make this one. Haven't really had the car out since the failed dyno day. This will be a good reason to get it cleaned up and put a couple miles on.

    This guy is outta his mind!

    I am always surprised and disappointed when I am on a car enthusiast site and see people bashing others trying to sell their car or parts for more then what they feel the value is. I know that we all want to find the great deals, sure I would buy a 03/04 Cobra for 10k is I found one. If someone...

    A bit of Northwest car stuff you might not know about.

    The SSC site says that Blood did the drivetrain engineering and engine assembly, and the Blood site has several photos of the SSC Ultimate aero.

    New "mod" for my GT

    Well probably not what you were thinking but this is my dog and his name is GT. He attends all the car shows with us and is a regular at Kidd Valley during the nicer weather. Also he is the unofficial mascot of the SVTOA of Seattle club. Wythors sent me the link for this Clay Smith Cams shirt...

    Need some help with a title transfer

    If you do not have a statment from the previous owner they can make you pay tax on the book value of the vehicle. On an 88 Ranger the value has to be no more the $1500 but you may be better off saying that it is a non running parts vehicle. If you wait to long from the time of sale they can also...

    Emissions Testing

    01 Cobra w/Kenne Bell SC

    I would go with NGK TR6 plugs. This is what many of the 03-04 Cobra guys use and I have them in my 96 Kenne Bell Cobra. These are pretty reasonable about $2.00 each if you want you can spend four to five times as much on Iridium plugs. You really won't need them unless you are going for maxium...

    So where's the freakin' snow?

    Dave you knew all along that as soon as we cancelled this, it assured that it would not snow. As far as you being a weatherperson I think the growing trend is to hire women. So you may get to wear nice clothes but I don't think you have the legs for a skirt.:eek:

    Anyone watch Top Gear?

    I couldn't even tell you what day and time that show is on but why do I care with on Demand. If you are watching it to get good unbiased performance numbers, you are watching the wrong show. I feel it is for pure entertainment value. Their contest to build the best amphibius vehicle had me...

    A Dragon is Born

    Without the IMRC's and no blower you will see a small drop in lower end tq. The IMRC's should open at 3200 rpm so after that no change except a very small gain in hp at the very top end is possible with butterflys completly removed. Overall I think that it would be a small performance loss but...
