Every time I think about selling my Lightning I just login to this website and this forum and I get fired up about keeping it. I only owe $11,000 on it so now I am just concentrating on paying it off before taking it to the next level. What's cool is that I live only 20 miles from LFP and I...
Got together with my brother and his '70 Mach 1 at a local car show. He won 70's era best and I won 80's and newer best. Got the cars together after the show and got some pics.
The main brace between the frame rails doesn't fit, it is too long. I wrestled with it and banged on it but to no avail. Anybody else have this problem? Should I grind the frame rail down? I need anothe 1/8" to make it fit.
Great night at the track for me...Houston Raceway Park...cold dry air + prepped track + sea level = 12.536 @ 107.52 on DR's. :burnout:
My 1/8 was 7.977 @ 86.70 with a 1.792 60'. All new bests. :rockon:
Basic 4# pulley, CAI, TR6's, Bassani catback and JDM tune is all I've got. I...
Anybody planning on attending the next two FFW events in Kansas or Ennis? I'd like to go to Ennis but it's supposed to be 95* next week there. I'm sick of the heat.
Another record. How longer can you afford to drive your Lightning?
I'm paying $2.50+ per gallon of 93 here in H-Town, Texas where they make the sh.it. If it hits $3.00 I may have to dump the Lightning. :cuss:
Seems like alot of '03-'04 Cobras are already up for sale over in "The Market".

My '91 LX 5.0 is for sale and listed in there as well btw.

Well I got teched in today and made my first qualifying pass for Top Truck. :D
The track was in fair shape but it was hot and humid outside and the truck was warm so my pass was only 13.2 @ 104. Should be some better air tomorrow with passage of the cool front. :burnout:
I met up...

New best ET for me and my Lightning...12.78 @ 105.45 mph w/ 1.847 60' on fresh Nitto DR's
04-01-05 Houston Raceway Park :rockon:
Has anybody ever raced 1/4 mile into a 20+ MPH headwind? What are the effects on the L? I'm a bit discouraged with the weather. I'm getting ready to head out for street night at HRP and the air is cool and dry but the wind is howling straight from the north. I'm sure that would negate my...
So who's planning on entering Tough Truck class at FFW this year?
Anybody going to the inaugural Belle Rose, Louisiana event at the end of March?
I'm planning on entering at the Texas Thunder in H-Town but I'll need some sticky tires first. I'm not quite sure how the index thing...
I just found out today that my spare tire is not a Goodyear F1 but a BF Goodrich Radial Longtrail up under there. :dw:
Anybody else notice that. :shrug:
Well I finally made it to Houston Raceway Park with my Lightning. I've had it since last summer and with 8000 miles on it now with a JDM street tune and a 4# pulley and air filter here are my three best times from tonite. I only had 6 runs and three were throwaways. I couldn't hook the F1's...
:-D Is the boost bypass mod necessary once you have a custom tune? Does the custom tune prevent the boost dump or should I go ahead and do the boost bypass mod after my pulley and tune install? I appreciate it.
Well since I don't own a boat, camper or trailer and I don't do any towing, would dropping the hitch assembly be a good idea? Dead weight but it is in the rear might help with traction? :shrug:
I tagged the curb leaving work today and got some curb rash on my right rear wheel. Damn, that sucks. Is there any way to get it fixed at a wheel place? :cryying:
