  1. Brakes for Noobs

    Welp, as things would go I did not make it to an HPDE event last year due to having a shoulder blow up and having to have surgery. I am now back in good enough shape. I think.Anyway, I have the front calipers off and I have 6mm of factory pad left on both sides. I also have new rotors, pads...
  2. Tesla Sales down , 20% stock drop!

    Are you sure that Big Brother wants anyone to have a range of 1000 miles? Although I agree that the market will dictate the direction of hybrid or EV markets I have reservations about us being allowed more freedom of movement. There seems to be more emphasis on concentrating the citizenry into...
  3. Oil Cooler Setup, Thoughts and Questions

    It’s an infection that I have had since before I got my DL. I have never owned a car or truck that I have not modified, and sometimes extensively. Also have never owned anything with an automatic transmission. My wife has but not me, and I just had that realization about 3-4 weeks ago. Geez! Now...
  4. Oil Cooler Setup, Thoughts and Questions

    I have some questions. I have already purchased the Harrop oil cooler kit. I also have the FP water pump sitting on the bench w/a Riechle 170 degree thermostat. Additionally, I am about to order Race Louvers and ventilate the hood. My goal is to start with HPDE and see if I end up with a serious...
  5. Project Super Beater

    Yikes! I’ve got skin just like that. Can’t wait to have to do that job.
  6. A little history lesson

    There is one of these engines on display at The Cobra Experience in Martinez, Ca. It is well worth the time if you have any interest in Cobras. Should I ever get back there I will put a bit more diligence into studying it and take more photos.
  7. More awesome news out of DC

    Ditto, Bill! Even though I have not yet put myself and my car on the track ( soon to rectify that ) I come here to get a break from some of the other forums. I appreciate the maturity and the wealth and depth of real knowledge that exists here.Agreeing on every subject would be boring. You...
  8. More awesome news out of DC

    As I see it the largest part of the problem is the drift away from personal responsibility and the willingness to give up freedom for comfort. As we grow more obese, both literally and figuratively, the drive to protect our God given rights decays and the enslavement of man by Satan becomes more...
  9. Special edition diesel.

    Nope! Not buying this.Because if it was, it would have to be ugly too.
  10. More awesome news out of DC

    Other than our military I don’t know of anything that the government runs or controls that works.Our military can go anywhere, any time and kill people and destroy things.Anything else that it runs or controls is just about as much of a clown show as it can be. Doesn’t really matter which...
  11. More awesome news out of DC

    To all the previous comment above, I agree. However, I do feel hopeful. More and more people are beginning to see the agenda and resistance is building. Back to the EV thing, look at how Lightning PU’s are now down to $50k and a Mach E GT can be had for no down and $399/mon. The demand is low...
  12. More awesome news out of DC

    Well, I guess add me to the rays of sunshine.
  13. More awesome news out of DC

    Like when we made the conversion from mules and horses to ICE. Yeah, I remember reading how the President and Congress were all over that. Not.Right now you can get Mach E’s for $399/mon no down. And Lightning pick ups for $50k. Why? Because not enough people want them. EV’s aren’t ready for...
  14. Diff cooling and E85 results - interesting findings at Road Atlanta - fast lap

    Correct. Found this occasionally in industrial settings. Very often when a gear box was running hot someone who did not know better would put a heavier ( higher viscosity ) lubricant in it with the thinking that it would lower operating temperature. More often than not this would not work. The...
