Any advice? I have tried beating them with a hammer (45+ min) I have tried PB blaster ... many times and it has been soaking for at least 6 hours I have tried heat, more hammering more pb blaster, more heat and they wont budge. Any thing else to try ... I really want to just drill lot of holes in th...

maybe putting in the manual steering rack that has been laying on my guest room floor next to the r-comps for 3 months or so. I don't think you'll like that... manual racks are really slow... it'll be like driving my corolla :P Dave has a manual rack as do a lot of miatas. I am a little worried abo...

too bad he doesn't have any 13's ... I would have grabbed them last night ...

I think I saw karting at summit ... but I would rather get my fenders cut and ready for the next auto-x than kart

I had the same reaction. I never look anywhere but CDC for auto-x events but I was looking everywhere I could for something this coming weekend. I guess I will have to spend the time cutting my fenders to fit the r-comps I bought 5 or 6 months ago and maybe putting in the manual steering rack that h...

empties don't add that much weight ... the liquid spilled all over the interior might though

zero chance I am getting banned for putting down less than 100hp when I index at 101 ...

Picked up the car and it needed a better top, airbag control module, rear finish pannel and rear bumper paint was chipped. Fixed everything and now its ready for sale. Zero idea about the timing belt/water pump but the cluch was apparently just replaced and the car is really fun to drive. It is a gr...

bump for new car ... and new ad

As I said before ... Congrats!

The outside-the-car view didn't give me a great idea of the actual course, but it did give me awesome audio from the timing tent going wild

That looks like an awesome time!

Thanks for the information. I never read too much about it, but how do you re-route the fuel/brake lines. Does the kit come with lines, do you buy more line or just bend the existing lines. Do you have to do anything about bleeding the fuel line, or just the let car stumble for a second once restart...

thats awesome ... congrats on the install This has been on my list of to-do's for awhile now. I have been looking at the other alternatives to FM. I still do not have a good handle on which frame rail set is best for the money. I would also want to do the butterfly section as I don't really street m...

I picked up a D60 kit for around 700 two years back. The best deals are on the entry level bodies that come with two lenses. I got my camera, a 18-55mm lense and a 55-200 mm lense for around $700 or so. I know that the D60 really isn't sold anymore, but there are still deals on similar newer cameras...

what about a braille battery in the trunk ...

I feel like an idiot... I printed my bar code at the begining and I knew it would still work, although we changed the format to be better for almost everyone. But I was being lazy. I guess its time to re-print my index (notice my index says I have r-comps, yet I have been too busy to cut my fenders ...

I thought that we didn't use an index for SB. I know that my time was indexed for SB, but since it didn't change the results at all I didn't say anything.

I looked at a couple others and it looks like their SB time was their raw time, so again, I didn't say anything.

That looks awesome .... I just need another 6-pt harness and FIA seat for my passenger .... maybe next year

cool videos ... but think of all that aero drag you have introduced ...

I listed this at 3500 but I can sell it at $2800 firm to any CDC member who wants it.

I believe someone is coming today to look at it, so let me know ASAP if you are interested.

they must be REALLY bad ... seeing as the last set that was "good" has a corded tire ...

man ... I can't make it on the 3rd or the 24th ... I guess I will see you guys on the 10th

no one sell him one ... this can only benifit the club

there was an article saying they were running a 130 CCA battery for a SM. They did say that it wouldn't start in freezing temps but had no other issues during the three years they had it. So, 130 CCA might be enough for me because I never DD my car, but if you want to drive your car in the winter at...
