    Skinnies

    I know this has been brought up before, but I never remember seeing any resolution. I am running BFG Drag Radials on the rear and was wondering what skinnies I could run up front. I know that you can't mix Bi-ply tires with radials, so the standard pizza cutter fronts won't do..........or will...

    Need Used Headlamp Assembly

    Does anyone have a slightly used driver's side headlamp assembly for sale? I have no desire to drop $700 on a new one. It doesn't have to be new, but would like one that isn't scratched up or has UV damage. I've checked the classifieds and a few other places and nobody has a driver's side one...

    Transmission Question

    I plan on replacing the clutch and adding an aluminum flywheel when I return from Iraq in a few months (the clutch is hard to depress, is starting to slip, and smells after a few drag runs). On another note, 5th and 6th gears grind when I shift, and reverse is sometimes hard to get into...

    Free less than perfect front fascia

    I have a used front fascia for a Gen II that is up for grabs to anyone in the Eastern North Carolina area. I don't have the time (or desire) to package up and ship this across country, but anyone who is near to me can pick it up for free (I just want the thing out of my garage). It has cracks...

    Hoosier Drag Radials

    Anyone using the Hoosier 335/35R17 Drag Radials? They retail fairly low (around $190 a piece I think) and have a tread pattern very similar to the ET Streets. I posted something awhile back and got ZERO response. I figured I'd be the first to post in this forum and ask again! Thanks in...

    Rubber shifter boot torn

    I was installing my new B&M Ripper Shifter, and I noticed that the rubber boot that seals off the transmission from the cockpit was torn. Is this an important piece of gear or can I do a makeshift rubber patch? Would it be worth investing in a brand new one? Any help would be appreciated...

    Temp Gauge problem

    While driving around last night, I noticed my temp gauge spiked all the way to the right. It was indicating normal until just before I pulled into my driveway. I shut the engine down, popped the hood, and couldn't tell anything different from normal. The coolant hose felt normal, the fluid...

    Kumho ECSTA V700

    Does anyone out there use the Kumho ECSTA V700 as a normal street tire? After I come back from my next deployment, I want to upgrade to 18" rims, but don't want to shell out the $$$ for a set of Pilots that I'll use for 2k miles. I figure a set of the cheapies would do for a few months...

    Anyone try the new Hoosier drag radials?

    I noticed that Hoosier makes a 335/35R17 drag radial. Anyone out there use them? I have the BFGs (345/30R18), which work well, but are expensive. The Hoosiers run about $100 a tire less AND they have a larger sidewall (always better for launches). I'm just wondering if anyone has any input...

    Shifter Question

    I know of two different short throw shift mechanisms out there (B&M and Hurst) and was wondering the PROs/CONs of each. Does anyone have any input? I currently have the stock mechanism with a MGW knob. While it looks great, it doesn't help at the strip. Thanks for any help in advance. Frank

    Drag Wheel Question

    I know that 16" wheels will fit the rears on a GEN II, but will 15" fit? I know that some guys out there have used 15" (I thought I saw a picture of Chad running 15" wheels, but I have no idea how much modification it took). I ask because the MT Drag Radials run fairly wide 15" tires (325/50)...

    Interior Door Handle Question

    I have the older version of the interior door handle (92-98), but I've always loved the look of the curvy brushed aluminum handle that came in 99 and laster. The plastic surround on my passenger side door handle has broken and I was wondering how hard it would be to swap out for the 99+...

    Tire warning

    After jacking my GTS up to remove the rear wheels and install Tom Hayden's calipers, I noticed a small screw that was imbedded into the tread. Since I live pretty close to a small auto repair center, I loaded the tire into my truck and dropped it off to be plugged while I worked on the brakes...

    Installed Tom Hayden's Rear Caliper Upgrade Today

    Installed Tom Hayden\'s Rear Caliper Upgrade Today I was having trouble with my old rear calipers, so I decided to upgrade with Tom Hayden's 40mm rear calipers. The swapout was easy and suprisingly not too messy (my truck dripped much more brake fluid when I had to change its calipers). As...

    Roe system on the way!

    Well, I decided today that life is too short to not be supercharged.....or something cheesy like that. I talked to Sean Roe about issues regarding supercharging a car with 56k miles on it, and he convinced me it would be ok. So, having slept on it a night, I decided to go for it. It is almost...

    Backup light problem

    Someone clued me in to the fact that my reverse lights don't work. I bought some new bulbs thinking that was the problem. I pull out the old ones only to find out that they were still good. My turn signals work properly, but neither reverse light illuminates. Does anyone have any idea where...

    To upgrade halfshafts, or not to upgrade.................

    I just ordered a set of 18" Purners which I plan on using with BFG Drag Radials for occassional strip use. My question is, with my mods (tubes/filters, hf cats, B&B catback), will I be in danger of breaking the stock halfshafts with the BFGs on? I am getting better at my launches to where...

    Lesson learned at the drag strip

    I went out today for a couple test and tune runs at a local drag strip, I almost lost my car (or worse, my life). An outlaw class drag car was lined up next to me and launched hard, running a little over 5 seconds in the 1/8th. I ran my typical wheel spinning launch and was headed to do a 1/4...

    B&B Catback Install with Roe Exhaust Wrap (pics)

    I came home from Iraq last week and decided to give myself a present. I just finished installing a set of Roe Hi-Flow Cats and a B&B Catback system with the Roe exhaust insulation wrap. Overall, it wasn't too difficult, and the sound is absolutely incredible! I love the deceleration...

    Kinston, NC Test and Tune, Sat 5 Feb

    Fellow Eastern NC-ers, Kinston Drag Strip is opening for a test and tune on Saturday, 5 Feb for the first time this season. I know its a bit of a stretch to drive from Raleigh, but there has to be a few of us on the eastern side of NC who can get together. I just got back from Iraq, installed...

    Drag radial advice

    I have an opportunity to pick up a set of 17"x13" rims to use for occasional drag racing. My question is, would using a 17" setup with the Kumhos be better or worse than an 18" setup with BFGs? Also, would the Nitto drags fit on a 17" rim? My first guess would be no since they are only 315s...

    Changing 17" wheels to 18" wheels

    Changing 17\" wheels to 18\" wheels I was wondering, if I change from a 17" wheel with 335/35 tires to an 18" wheel with 335/30 tires, will it affect the speedometer? From my understanding of how a tire is measured, I am thinking that the 18" tire would be taller than the 17" tire. I know...

    Painted stock cowl

    Has anyone tried painted the stock cowl (the plastic where the windshield wipers are mounted to)? I've seen several nice aftermarket ones, but they are fairly expensive (painted with stripes is even more costly). I was wondering if anyone has a painted stock one, or if its even paintable (i.e...
