Hey guys, been awhile since I've been on the forum. Like many people my growing family meant I had to shrink my racing budget, to, well... zero! But after a few years off, a friend and I will be taking a run at a few Chumpcar races and we're looking for some interested drivers to help us fill...

Howdy Gents! Got a question for you. I'd like to know how I can measure and draw out this piece of metal before I cut it instead of trial and error. Here's the challenge: Lets say that I have a tube vertically coming out of a flat piece of wood. To make an easy picture lets say it's a drain...

Each year the men of the Harding family take a trip to a race for our "Man Trip". This year I'd kind of like to go to the US Gran Prix but I don't know much about it other than it's F1 cars. So, can anyone help me out with these: 1. Any other racing that weekend besides F1? 2. General...

Well boys it's been nice. I just added my car to the poor list of classifieds. I'll be hanging my head low for a couple of days. My current life situation only allows me to race about once a year and that's just not enough to satisfy my urge, so you just may see me in a kart some day! Anyhoo...

Hey yall, quite awhile ago I mentioned that Hometime is doing a show on my house. Well that show is done and it's finally on the air. There's three episodes, the first one was last weekend (sorry) and show two is this weekend. Airtimes vary so go to yahoo TV or tvguide.com and see when Hometime...

So now that we have to add this 2nd door bar I'm pretty sure the way to do it is to make it intrude into the door and gut the doors (we can do both now right?). So when you gut a door, do you make it so that you can put back the window glass back for hauling? Is there a way to do that? And...

I know this isn't really the place for it but I thought I would just ask my racing buddies if you happen to know of or know someone that's looking to hire an everything multimedia/internet/SEO guy. My boss is changing the format of the company from multimedia to plastics and I've been told to...

The TV show Hometime is re-working parts of my house for a 3 show series that will show on HGTV and maybe PBS in late Jan - Feb. I'm not supposed to be wearing any clothing that isn't an actual show sponsor but I've been being naughty with my Isaac hat by placing it in the background of some...

Just wanted to say that I'm very pleased with the new site. Way to go! Now I can play here and work even less! :figo:

I think I might of tracked down my possible intake leak. For awhile now I've been getting really high EGT temps, like pegging out the gauge high. I have WAY to big of jets in there but nothing helps so I'm was guessing air was getting in. With the car running I sprayed some carb clean around the...

Where have you guys mounted your fuel pressure regulator? I've got the holly one that has two out puts and I'm not quite sure where to put it. One person awhile ago told me to yank the hood latch, install some hood pins and put it there. Is it legal to get rid of the hood latch though?

So the steering on my E350 is pretty funky. I've told people that it's scary to which they reply oh it's probably just loose like an old truck. Then they take a turn in the seat and after a couple white knuckle miles finally admit that yes, it is scary, it's possessed. I don't think it's going...

Howdy guys, I need to take the head off my 89 E350 and the bolts on the exhaust manifold are really rusty. I'm basically worried that I'm going to be breaking bolts all over the place and having a really really bad time. I've already broken off a tap in the head which is why I've got to take...

I'm doing the debate about going under or over the axle on my 1st gen. I already have the muffler (dynomax I believe) so I'm basically looking at how to get from header to muffler in the rear and since I'm a cheap DIY'er I'd like to do this with out visiting an exhaust shop. If I were to order...
