    Gavin is older today

    Gavin (sheeps of fun) Gear is officially old today. Let me be the first to say happy birthday, but maybe he's already settled in with some warm milk and a blanky for nighty-night. Hey Gav, what's the next mod to the viper? A wheel chair lift? Or do you need to punch-out the interior so you...

    Thunderhill: Gavin & JoeB

    Hey! Good running with you guys at Thunderhill this weekend. You guys did an awesome job of showing the greenflag regulars what the viper is all about. Awesome driving in the 2:09-2:10s, but it's just a bit too bad there were only 4 Vipers. Clearly as a group the Vipers were the class of...

    I think Skip Thomas said we had ~37 off-track (4 wheels off) excursions at Buttonwillow last weekend -- no collisions or damage, which he noted was unusual. A porsche did come real close to stuffing it into the wall but managed to wrestle a save. One could see where 1 or 2 cars could sustain...

    OMG! - ACR guys

    When asked for a ride, is your first response to your wife/girlfriend, "Honey are you wearing your sports bra tonight?" Or have they just quit asking? Have you been known to bang your head on the headliner at a good dip on the freeway? Do you do the expansion joint-shuffle? We've been...

    Close call

    A buddy at work was inquiring about the car today, "so lets go for a ride" I say. "Oh, man, can we?" So we go out to the parking lot and pop the hood and we're looking and pointing and talking. The guy is like 25 and he's stoked, "my roommates are going to be sooo jealous. . ." A bunch of...

    How I spent my summer vacation

    A dozen and a half northern cal members took the Skip Barber 1 day school at Laguna Seca earlier this week. The highlight of the day, by far, was the smokey-burn-out and wild-ride fest: Photo curtesy of Marilyn Duff. The un-named instructor was pretty proficient at standing on the brakes...

    Double Clutching

    double clutch or heal-toe? Double clutch was really invented to reduce wear for non-syncromesh transmissions (which we don't have). A buddy of mine had a '41 chevy pickup in high school where it was required. Heal-toe is a technique intended to sync the engine speed to the road speed, so...

    Hoosier/DOT track tires threatened

    A message that made its way to my inbox states that government regulation in light of the Ford/Firestone tire problem could threaten specialty tire manufacturers. Those interested in running R-compound tires during track days should take note and voice their concerns (appropriate links within)...

    Rocker panel cover corrosion

    Searches on this topic leads to fastener corrosion and yellowing side sills. I have a different problem. . . On my '01 ACR, I noticed last night the passenger side rocker panel cover (black trim part) is corroding from the inside, the paint is intact on the outside. This could be described...

    Tire Pressure

    You're going to have to experiment to find out what works best for you. Last weekend I ran 36psi front, 34psi rear HOT; cold these translate to maybe 28 and 26 or so. Seems to roll the tire ok, more air can come out of the rear for sure, but I'm still learning about this car. These pilot...

    Why I bought this car

    So I could get around those high horsepower mustangs/et al that don't know how to drive. It's working. I'm at thunderhill this weekend with the nor cal shelby club and I just had to post I have to say I'm having the BEST F***ing time going around all these guys that used to just be a pain in...

    Forgeline VRs (photos)

    This is far and away the most appealing mod I've ever made to a car: (note the stagger) (those 19-inchers dwarf the brakes, can you tell there are only two wheels on this car?) (Nice fender gap, huh? -- I kinda like the levitation myself) I'm still working on the brakes for Thunderhill...

    First Viper track excursion

    Drove Laguna Seca last Friday in the Viper for the first time. The car is 100% stock, I haven't done any mods because I wanted to see what was there. I've heard the comments on the brakes, but I really had no clue how bad they were -- sort of a surprising decision by DC for the caliber of this...
