Damn shame about Howell's service, because the AF/X pulley is a nice unit.
See if you can pick one up used... Just get lots of pics and check the hub condition.
Keep the front springs, run less front bar.
What are your pressures (starting and hot)? Tire temps?
What bushings?
Alignment settings?
Driving style?
Absolutely, if not before...
And don't get me wrong Dave, I do feel the GCR is cumbersome, but I just wanted to pick on you a little.
I gotta get you back for writing a different good book...
No, but 105 pages isn't that long. Technically that's all it is, and it's like 175 if you include the Appendices. The rest are Spec books. Back in 97 when I started into this (yeah, I'm a newbie),...
Well, it wasn't my car for one thing :) In fact I was in no way affiliated with that car, but I have seen it once or twice (literally), and it was nicely done and well driven.
As for the rule,...
I know I had one in my old car, and I believe that if you go to whatever the stock replacement number is and go down one number, that's it. At least that works for Gates I think.
A little...
Also remember that if it's a DOHC, they are known to do that from time to time, particularly if you let them sit. Just mentioning it so that you don't go chasing your tail on it, replacing...
Bill- not at all, I was just reposnding to several posts at once.
It's all good :)
I do hope that Dan didn't get discouraged with our thread sidetracking...
I was merely pointing out yet another small difference, not debating the legality or otherwise.
I for one am glad to see the VIN rule go.
Oh, and Bill, the only Charger that I race any more...
Don't forget the cam differences, and the slightly wider rear axle...
Looking carefully at the rule noted above, I see something that always steered (no pun intended) my interpretation of the rule-
If slotted plates are used, they shall be located on existing...
Front hubs (be sure to get ACR), front suspension bushings (watch the rule on spherical bearings), wheel/tire size limitations in rear (get spacers and long wheel studs), motor mounts suck, and I'm...
Greg-
I agree to some extent. I have pushed for Pocono to be a combo event, possibly even a PDX/Club School/Regional weekend type thing. Unfortunately, the organizers of the Pocono PDx place a...
Boy, I'm glad I had nothing to do with scheduling... (seriously)
So Greg, next you're gonna tell me you need workers too, huh? :P
Nationals to the left of me, Club schools to the right, here I...
Just FYI all-
There are still spots available for entrants/students at the PDX at Pocono on June 16 and 17 (Fri and Sat). Go to the TriRegion website for more info- www.triregionracing.org

Hijacking continued...
A "solid" mount would confine the motion in more than one plane, which is specifically forbidden within that allowance. I've been working this one lately, since I'm in the...
Kirk, can I use that first sentence as a quote? :happy204:
I think you guys did exactly what is needed, and that consitutes a great job! As one of the people who is (or at least was) involved...
I would agree.
From what I'm told (my cousin owns a trans shop), when the convertor locks, the valving causes to flow to reverse (this is actually what causes the clutch to lock) and fluid flow...
I *believe* that push-on has a spring loaded collar, while positive lock requires you to push it and lock it when you put it on.
I might not consider it creep in and of itself, but the idea of bringing in a new technology that could be then used in a more sweeping manner would be...
I just pray that the ITAC guys are as...
Biggest issue here guys is this- torque convertor lock-up.
When not locked up, the convertor creates a lot of heat from fluid shear. Also, on many (GM and Dodge for sure, but probably most...
A "drop" ball joint in the lower arm places the A-arm at a lower point in the curve. This is especially a big deal when you have a car that the A-arms go below horizontal when the car is lowered. ...
You mean there is a search? :rolleyes:
Hi Anne, nice to see you again... :)
Yeah, but you also think that carreening through the woods in a Volvo is fun...
Oh wait, that would be!
