[RYAN GRAVES]

Ryan you have bean busy since I last spoke to you. Cant wait to see the transforamtion you are performing to your car:eek Good luck to you on getting it all back into a new beast.

 

[RYAN GRAVES]

Yeah, I have been busy trying to get all the parts together and doing some research. Hope everything is going well with your car. Looking forward to the Norwalk event, would like to make at least three events this year. I will try to get the Harrington family to a couple of the events, but they have alot of work going on with their outlaw mustang.

 

[RYAN GRAVES]

Hey Ted, lets see some pictures of your winter project:biggrin:

 

[DCVING 6]

My son will be 7 months old on the 4th, so I've gotten absolutely nothing done this winter. I did peek under the cover once to refresh my memory what color it is.

 

[shine1stang]

ive ordered a alky control kit, putting on a sheet metal upper, and bought some my own set of draglites
Id like to bust out some low 10 sec passes this year!
Who here races at Beech Bend in bowling green?

 

[snyderjw1]

I have been working on getting my "pontiac powered" 65 GTO racecar back on the track.....which seems to be consuming ridiculous amounts of time and $$$....but the bright side has been the project actually has me thinking that Buick performance parts are cheap and plentiful........I guess it's all relative!!!

Selling it.

 

[Grumpy]

Dammmm.. here I thought my Mazda was a tight fit

 

[Xflatrater]

80# injectors, cometic head gaskets, E85, alot of dyno pulls!

 

[Ms. FastNasty]

I've mostly just watched mine sit in the garage with a list of stuff to do. You would think, with a heated garage, the ol' hubs would do some work on it. I would, but I would screw it up I'm sure.
My list is mostly small stuff...install the driveshaft safety loop, line lock, radio/speakers, window tint, and front bumper fillers as mine are now completely broken and well, gone for the most part.

 

[turbo nasty]

Fuel pump is dying and cant keep up with @ WOT. New one goes in this weekend

 

[KevinB]

Well, we had our 3rd boy this winter. Unfortunately it has made me put the car very low on my list of priorities. Haven't touched it at all this winter except to back it in and out of the garage and a few short trips to keep it going. Hope to make one event this year. I think I'm just going to turn it down to the pump gas tune and attend a few car shows and cruiseins and maybe make a few easy high ten second passes. Usually I don't brake anything that way lol.
