I was in an accident in my Ranger a few weeks ago. I was coming down a private drive to my house and hit a curb and pole with the drivers wheel of my truck. It ripped the suspension all apart, no real body damage. I drove the car into a lot nearby and had it towed by roadside that night. I...
"From what i'm told"...They built 2000 examples in 1979 after the original Pace car was made and they sold for $695. Thats about all I know about it.
This one was bought new by my grandma for my dad and his brother. It has about 10 years of dust from the last time it was moved or ran. I...
J/K, I had a good reason. Heres some install pics for my 03 SVT Focus. Its had a JRSC for about 12k miles on the original clutch which is 40k old(car x2). It would slip in high-heat situations but not under normal driving. It was incapable of drag launching so here in lies the problem...
It's a 2008 Harley Softail Custom, 96" fuel injected motor, ~70hp and 80lb-ft. The 200mm( ~8in.) rear tire makes the bike ride great and just looks plain badass from behind. Its my second bike, and first Harley. Picked it up about a month ago and put about 500 miles on it so far but once the...

Today (not in this picture), I put the new 06+ ranger nameplates on the sides in place of the original "Ranger XLT". It has a new 4x4 emblem on the back that comes on the tailgate of an 06 Explorer Sport trac. I always thought the emblems in the picture look dated. I was at out tonight and...
Tint before/after
I painted and cleared the stereo surround, im still finishing the gauge bezel surround, but it should be installed within two days. It got some fisheyes around all the curves and I had to wetsand it.
Here is my Stewart Warner boost gauge and digital tach and...
Are they black Tri-bar pony wheels with flat chrome center caps? I would like a pair and imagine that authentic wheels are very rare, how can they be replicated?
How much should I offer for a mint condition 1986 Mustang GT w/ T-tops. Car has original owner and was meticulously cared for since new. The car looks identicle to the picture with the exception of this car has t-tops. It has approx 10-20k easy miles. I don't know what to offer because the...
...stupid shadows
I was on the way home from a car show and wanted to stop and snap some pics. The light wasn't ideal but I'm happy with the water in the background :-)
I would like to build a 5.0 347ci Stroker engine. I was thinking about buying a ~$500 engine/tranny combo out of a ~1990 Mustang GT. I would tear the whole thing down and sandblast the appropriate components and then paint them. If I buy an Eagle 347 Stroker kit will it fit into the engine...
The last/only dyno that I got was done on my car right after I put on the supercharger and it read 199hp/158tq. and that was with:
Jackson Racing supercharger
big boost kit
borla cat back
everything else stock, even the oem paper filter
Since then I've added:
Pipercross shorty intake...
I'm looking into doing a safety overhaul on my 03SVT and was wondering if the Steeda Roll Cage is a good option or if there are better choices on the market. I will also put in racing seats and full harnesses so a suitable harness bar will need to be on the roll cage. I'm not sure if the...
I just got done installing a bunch of new stuff on my car, we went out for a test drive from the dealer that I work at with one of the mechanics. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon ~1pm. We went 30mph the entire road adn then jumped it one time maybe up to 65. We slowed down on our own and...
Major car decision... (RANT-longish?)
I have had my SVT Focus for about a year. I love it and have supercharged the car and some other things that equal ~220hp. It's a fun little car and I can hang with most of the fast cars in my area enough to get respect...aka i have fun in the car. I...
I am thinking of getting the SVT Stroker short block kit this summer and was wondering if it could be tuned to work with my supercharger? I would also like to run Nitrous with this setup and ~14psi boost. I realize that I will need a new custom tune (right?), but who should I have do it...
I'm looking to get some lightweight 16's or 17's for this summer and was wondering if there is anything special I should know? I heard that clearence over the oem brakes is an issue on 16" wheels, anyone have any experience with doing this? I think I've seen some svtf's on here with 16's -...

It was my best run of the night, but I wasn't too happy with any of my runs so I'm looking forward to going down again when it's a little warmer.
This is the video of my first run that night. This was my first...
Heres a 14.59 @ 98.7 pass at Cecil County Dragway from last weekend. My best run of the night was a 14.1 @ 99.9 with a bad launch. This video was my last of 4 runs of the night against a gen-4 Camaro. He got me off the line cause I had no traction (theme of the evening) and after I got in...
Is anyone going to be in Hanover tonight, I'm going to be there and I think I'll swing by the circuit there and check it out (Ive never been there). If anyone is going to be out and wants to roll around. I'll be getting there at about 9 but if anyone wants to drive around first I'll be in...
What is this lady thinking? She has been driving in circles for like 2 hours. I did enjoy when the announcers on Fox News said that she's able to keep driving because the car she's in is so well made (Expedition police cruiser).

Will any of you guys be going?
Me and few of my friends from school planned this charity car show at Millersville University for The American Cancer Society. Here are some pictures from last year's car show. This year's show should be really good. :thumbsup: It usually draws several...
