    Whoohoo, after getting straight back from Germany, it was time to load the truck up with the race kit and head for Shakespeare County Raceway for some RWYB action. :D A stand alone track rental costs us too much money for the numbers involved so our club, Rebel-V8, tacks onto another event...

    Flat battery problem

    I'm having a problem with my 97GT in where the battery will go flat over the course of a few days if left sitting. It has a brand new battery and if left disconnected, will start the car fine, even after 6 weeks of being away. I've tried leaving it with the alternator disconnected and I always...

    Front Skinnys

    Did a search but couldn't really find the answer I needed. Is there an alternate to dropping $$$ on a set of Bogarts? If so, what do you run and most importantly, what difference did it make to your E.T.? I've heard of people running the AR Baja 16x8 or the factory spare but this doesn't...

    Truck running rich

    I'm a bit stumped here :shrug: Last year when I dyno'd, my A/F was a lovely 11.8-1 across the board. Today, I dyno'd with the same tune and it's now 10.9/11-1. My new wideband conforms this and the exhaust tips are black. I have ported the blower and fitted a new exhaust since then...

    I released my inner redneck today and did a fab "Rebel Repair" TM on the HD so that I can race next weekend. Guess I must have spent too much time in the South :poke: First of all, a few lightweight brackets. I see you've noticed the duct tape holding the valence on. Pretty good...

    Nooooooooo. HD + Pig = Carnage

    I was out last night on my private test track (read: country roads) last night giving the new exhaust a workout. Doing about 70mph when into the road trotted a wild pig. Hit the brakes but it was either a barrier on one side or opposing traffic so Mr Piggy got it head on. :bash: It was a fair...

    My new custom exhaust

    I would put this in the HD section but it doesn't get that much traffic and I have gone for a Lightning style exit so here it is. First of all, squeeze the HD on the ramp. I don't think this was made for US pick ups. It does fit, just :D A few pics of the original factory system...
