    Laguna Seca, April 29-May1

    I was wondering who was racing at this event with Sebring being the same weekend. I would hate to miss the chance to see Tommy, Rob, Bob et. al in action. I think I overheard the announcer on Speedvision saying the next stop on the tour was Laguna Seca. I see Dan Cragin is having a tech session...

    Possible scam on VCA Classifieds

    Got the same response on some wheels I put up on this site. "Modalities" of shipping, very amusing....

    Side Sill heat shield insulation

    Shoot some ceramic insulation on the inside of the sills when you pull them off, keeps them cooler and protects the paint. Spray your frame members behind the cat to reduce heat transfer to the cockpit. If you ever drive the car with the sills off, say at the track, you will find the lowered...

    May 19th 2004 National "Don't Buy Gas" Day!!!!!!!!!

    Re: May 19th 2004 National I will happily stand corrected and look forward to reviewing the site Ron suggests. The 75% figure is achieved by backing out the costs. Gas costs about 50 cents a gallon to refine, sometimes considerably less. In addition to the exise taxes posted at the pump...

    May 19th 2004 National "Don't Buy Gas" Day!!!!!!!!!

    Re: May 19th 2004 National "Therefore May 19th has been formally declared stick it up their behind day..." By whom I might ask, the idiot that "calculated" said effects on reserves? Yup, sounds credible to me. 75% of the price of gas is tax. We shut down our oil derricks with regulations...

    Thinking about switching to rear exhaust...

    Re: Thinking about switching to rear exhaust... Simply moving the ehaust exit point will not dramatically change what you hear inside the car during most driving situations. The "drone" which tends to be what irritates drivers is best approached by swapping the mufflers as noted above rather...

    Fuel Gauge Question..........

    Might be a good idea to recalibrate the float in the tank. When I switched out my stock gauges for Autometers the send unit had to be recalibrated. Once corrected the needle went from Chapt.11 to a much more accurate straight 7.

    Checking in after a couple of years...

    Heck Phil, everytime you pass me I'm hooked. I hear you rumbling down the street and I can't help but grin as you chirp your tires through the school zone :cool: . JonB, does venerable mean old? Not in your case buddy, maybe "classic". Venerable means worthy of respect, from the Latin root...

    Checking in after a couple of years...

    Wanted to say hello to a lot of old friends I see here on the board and many new ones that have come in since I collected a lesser vehicle in the radiator of my GTS a couple of years back. Are these the good old days or what? Superchargers and blowers, tuners everywhere, more vendors than...

    3 bucks a gallon

    Pretty much already have, now it is called California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Texas. Better to keep PEMEX in charge of the oil if we ever want to see any. When we aquire productive regions we shut down the wells, witness all the idle derricks in California both on and offshore. And then...

    Someone help me - a few Tire Questions

    When you see a price like $200 jump on it and put them away, you'll need them some day. Don't forget to check the manufacture date. It's a priceless car, don't cut corners on tires, they're way too important. Did Khumo fire up the 335 molds? Cool, I remember back in the day I heard they had...

    97 GTS with 73k miles

    Check all rubber components, make sure all TSB's were implemented. I'd say low $30's, it's great car but in 73k miles and six years a Snake throws off a lot of heat. That's exactly the car I'd buy, well driven and maintained cars hold up much better than garage queens and it would be a great...

    speedo swap

    If Nadine did your install you probably get an E.T., trap speed and G-force readout by honking your horn now. And missles from your high beams...

    Why is it I'm never around to commence the beating?

    Re: Why is it I\'m never around to commence the beating? I went out to the garage one morning and noticed the headlamp of my GTS looked like a bukake party leftover, couldn't believe someone would do that. Spit all over that side of the fascia too. I was pissed, I didn't see it when I brought...
