    Can a Zone Rendezvous possibly get you 800 horsepower? YES! (pics)

    The BOSS is a keeper because she is EYE CANDY for all of your buddies. Since Michael sold his SRT...He might really give you a bidding war. He went back to driving a real Viper and wants to add boost.

    Friday Nights - Kansas City

    Since the weather is now warm, we have started hanging out at Dean and Delucas on Friday nights again. This is a nice place to socialize and talk cars. The ladies even like it because they can visit and enjoy the food. There is outdoor seating right next to our cars. The management at Dean...

    Started gen1 headgasket replacement yesterday

    The only other thing I would recommend is to check the cylinder head for warpage. If the head is warped, the new gasket will only be a temporary fix. It is a long five cylinder aluminum head, so there is a pretty good change that it might need a mild resurfacing. I too was reminded not to...

    Johnny Bravo, You had better open that Lemonade Stand to raise some cash and get ready to bid! You need something like this. Tony would even respect you.

    How easy is it to turn back the Odometer?

    Right now there is a discussion on the Ferrari Forum about "Disconnected Speedometers". I have always felt that many of the Ferraris have more miles than the meter shows. Basically ...the older Ferraris have very few miles (disconnected Speedo). The newer Ferraris have more miles on them...

    How easy is it to turn back the Odometer?

    Gerald, In the early days Speedos were mechanical. You would need a gear reducer. Todays Speedos are electronic. Yes, a reducer would still work. A type of reducer is used as a calibrator box when you change your rear end gear ratio. Pontiac uses a reducer built into some of their cars. The...

    Update: This Friday I am: 1) Flashing my PCM firmware. 2) Installing new TPS 3) Installing new IAC 4) Installing new Throttle Cable / Checking all mechanicals I will do them in stages and hope to find a solution. I still think it is computer related.

    TOP TEN Reasons to Attend the Rendezvous in 2 weeks (pics!)

    Tim, I would love it if you beat me. It might help get a few more sponsors on your car. I guess I will have to beat you at the Drags and then Kurt and Dan at the Autocross. I have one favor to ask of you guys, can someone help haul my trophies home?

    TOP TEN Reasons to Attend the Rendezvous in 2 weeks (pics!)

    Tim, Since we have never raced, I would be willing to wager $1000 cash on our first pass. Let me know before we head out that day and I will bring the cash. My only concern is that you might loose control and cross to my side.

    TOP TEN Reasons to Attend the Rendezvous in 2 weeks (pics!)

    Dan, don't blow up that motor before the event! I am looking forward to Heartland Park Topeka on Friday night! I just enjoy all the "smack" talking that takes place at the drags.

    How easy is it to turn back the Odometer?

    Surprising how much open talk there is about swapping PCMs and Speedos. It is a Federal offense if you sell your car without disclosing any mileage tampering. You can do anything you want to the vehicle while you own it. Heck turn the mileage back to zero if you like, but you must tell the...

    Random High Idle / Sticking Idle - <master thread>

    Just remember with all testing that when you swapped the PCM, you have disconnected the power and reset the unit. Many of us can eliminate the idle hang by doing a PCM battery disconnect. All evaluation should include a few hundred miles. I long time ago, I had my PCM replaced for another...

    THANK YOU JERRY DOBSON!!!!!!!

    The Story: Some of the local guys headed to the drag strip on a Wednesday night. It was about 9:30 at night and my phone started ringing off the hook. I was in a meeting and could not answer. I suspected a track incident. I was correct, Dan's car was being towed home. Dan is getting ready for...

    Gen I Cylinder Head Torque

    Steve-Indy, Thanks for the link. This is more like it. Yes I am using the Multi-Layer gasket. Jack B talks about replacing the head bolts. Any problems with re-using the head bolts?

    Gen I Cylinder Head Torque

    I was looking at my Gen I motor manual for Torque Specifications, it says: Torque to 30ft pounds on the first round and then add 1/4 turn on the second. This does not sound correct. I was expecting 60 to 90 pounds total. Do all the manuals state this procedure?

    Viper Club and Ferrari Club Cruise (PICS)

    I am up for any new cruise. Lake Perry could work. Andrew, we have a limited number of Lamborghinis in the club. I was expecting some...none showed up. John showed up in his 360 Stradle instead of his Lambo. The others were out of town. That is one nice red GTS....and the girl that was in it...

    Time to coat my garage floor.

    AB, I have used Valspar for years. They make automotive paints also. It is NOT water based. It is equal parts paint and equal parts activator. So it is easy to mix. I have even repainted on top of the old paint and it sticks. Price is about $38/ gallon. I have cars coming and going all the...

    Bubbling Paint

    The PPG rep said the same thing. That the car needs to be taken down to the fiberglass (in the problem area) and put a heat lamp on it for three days. Has anyone done the heat lamp and then still have a problem?

    Does this car belong to a forum member?

    Not exactly true about the rivots. Some are black and some are the color of the car. I have not figured out how so many are different. This continues through the years. I recently found one that the lower lip was black, this was on a car that was like brand new. No paint work yet. If a car has...
