Disagree entirely. Shawn's reference to OEM or OEM+ is in terms of functionality and operation. Something that is easy achievable with the litany of parts and tuning solutions made available to use...
I'm hoping it involves the words of "i screwed up" or "that is my fault". Unless there is something egregious that we've all overlooked or don't know about, I'm unsure how any other response makes...
SrBoostJunkie, you're right on the money. I don't know everything there is to know about re-building an engine. Let me tell you what I do know. If I gave a PROFESSIONAL shop an open budget, unlimit...
Shawn doesn't need to call Justin to get this straightened out at this point. If Justin had taken care of issues as he should have, there would be no thread right now for any of us to read. Like ...
Are we reading the same thread?
The point is, Jamie didn't build the car, Justin whoever did and half assed a lot of things. Shawn admits to anyone who asks that he is not mechanically inclined, hence his willingness to ship his...
You read my mind Shawn, I'm in desperate need of these.
Excellent news Canx. We have 2 healthy boys and consider ourselves extremely lucky that they came ... so easily.
Shawn ... this is a wonderful thing. Just recently had time to get caught up here...
Come on now Joe, no one wants to see you go. The convention isnt just about the cars, its about the people. I come to these things to hang out with people like yourself. Everyone is getting their d...
I think some people are either misplacing their anger regarding there being no road course OR people are misrepresenting other people's thoughts about this. I don't think people blame the organizer...
All I want is a drag strip so Rob can get next lane.
K24. Piston/Cam, 300hp.
Pushing your shit in.
As someone who has organized a convention, I feel like I can add to this thread. Back in 2003, we were scheduled to use a track in OK (forgot the name), but either the owner or the track went bank...
The Road Course was on the EVENT SCHEDULE! THE ROAD COURSE ORGANIZING STAFF STATED THEY HAVE A SCCA WEEKEND EVENT SCHEDULED AFTER WE PUT IN OUR REQUEST TO RUN AT THIS ROAD COURSE. What the fuck is ...
Drag racing and road course are both crucial parts in my opinion. I am one of the ones that has no problem with the idea of paying for track days up front but I understand that some cannot. I DO...

Awesome news, great to hear, Andrew! Congrats to you and your wife!
Nope. Better.
For the past three trepidatious months, we (my wife and I) have been praying and waiting for two things. One has happened already. The first ultrasound. The baby is bouncing ar...
...........Sooooo, is the news that will be revealed is that you will finally get a chance to punch Chappy in the nuts tomorrow? :D
<---will pay $250+ for another road course. That to me is what its all about.
This is what I am trying to talk about. Emotion has overruled in this case. :ugh:
You also need to secure the track with a DEPOSIT.
That by itself seems like the biggest obstacle for organizers. I don't imagine anyone wants to get stuck coming out of pocket.
With all that sai...
I would like to know more about the requirements in renting a track...I realize it may not be the same at every venue but the basics.
For example, I've recently learned that an LLC is required, ...

Round mufflers are louder because there is less packing material per volume than in a equivalent oval muffler/s. Also, the oval mufflers allow the soundwaves from the engine exhaus...
I'll be honest, I go to these conventions not for the cars, but for the people. I'm always the one drinking with the group and cracking jokes, hell I had the bar on 4 wheels last year and it was a ...
Holy CRAP! Why have I not poked my head into this thread before?!? Look at all these sweet Classics, I love it!
sr20brian - Man, that's got to be one of the nicest Classics on Long Island. Nice,...
Took the car to get dynotuned,then swapped my ssac for one of the ebay tri-y for testing...and retuned.
Added N1 cams and retuned again.
Stay tuned for a full writeup and dyno sheets as soon as I...
