As some of you may know by now Photobucket is holding peoples 3rd party pics ransom for the price of $400 a year. I made alot of "how to" posts here with lots of great pics so peeps could see how to do stuff. 11 years worth are now gone because of them. This is a great loss to all forums. If...
Hello, Peeps. Been awhile since posting. As you guys know I hold the N/A stock engine record and held the All around stock engine record ( any power adder) since 2013 when I made 2 passes and got kicked out on the second pass of 11.388 for no rollbar. I have not done ANY poweradder runs since...
Move car other day and sliced the pass DR. Bummed because I want to take car to track for end of this month try to beat my 12.57.
Don't want to pay 400 for a new set. Check out CL, dude just lists exact tires on car BFG DR's 275/50-15 for $25 for the pair used. And of course they are 3 hours...
Just a FYI if you put Cobra rotors and calipers up front your spare won't fit. Ask me how I know. I did the cobra swap along time ago and knew this but forgot. Blazing down highway then BANG this. Hit some pothole at 75 mph.
I pull off 4 lane highway to shoulder. Pull up even more when...
My buddy has been a long time 5.0 fan but he noticed how well my mk8's run at the track and wanted to give a mod motor a shot. He picked up a 98 Cobra with an engine problem. I pulled engine down and decided we needed a new bullet. (cheap) Called up Bruce from this site and scored a cream puff...
Was very happy when I replaced the Qa1(HAL) single adj rear shocks on the green stang with double adj Koni coil overs. The single adj shocks where a perfect fit in the mk8. I was going to try to make them coilovers but there is no room in a mk8 for that with shock in stock location. I will be...
I had to cut these up for parts and wanted to see inside one of these suckers.
First thing I did was cut rubber bladder off. You can see its covered in shock oil that was leaking out of shock. Other one came out dry.
Here is everything cut apart. You can see how Ford band crimps the bag to...
Need to know the retainers O.D. where it slips into spring. People keep asking about the BTR springs and want to know if they are "drop in" with STOCK beehive retainers. If anyone can help it would be nice. Thanks
About "red dragon" not going any faster. Just got back from the track and ran new N/A best. This was done on all 4 radial street tires on car, NO slicks. I felt bad about beating GTO boy with my slicks to his DR's. So I wanted to make it even. Just for the heck of it I thru on all street tires...
Man, all the stars aligned and it was perfect weather for racing. Ended up with a 12.583 @ 106.81! Remember that's MOTOR only. The track was getting slick at end of night and I was having to drive the car. I had to abort run 9 because car was all over track. The car was pulling like bear at end...

This place has been really slow lately so though I would add this. I race...

I hated putting the stock front brakes back on Red with the cast iron...
Just got back from track. Since I can't run bottle anymore I switched back to the N/A deal. Plan was just to beat my 12.81. Ran 3 back to back 12.7's with 12.71 the best with a freakin 1.708 60ft! She might have an 12.59 in her.
Booted, tossed , blackballed, ejected, they where on me like white on rice in a nice way. They even took my #'s off my car. LOL Took 2 passes and I was done. But a happy done.
