Ran it for a season and then decided that the car won’t be seeing any track days. Pick up in Naperville. More info: https://www.speedinc.com/catalog/product/view/id/16/s/chrs1313-ram-air/category/424/

I’m putting together a cheap experiment. I found a business-grade native 1080p home projector on goodwillfinds.com for $120; only 29 hours on the bulb with no resets. I bought a cheap 150-inch bed sheet screen from Amazon for $20, $20 Amazon Fire stick and a cheap mount for $10. My goal right...

Hoping for an eventual dirt-to-Daytona successor 🤞 https://www.iracing.com/NASCAR-Game/?fbclid=IwAR3vfs2x_kyE7i0_ocmmtCVbX3knno3CzQxtuyG81HNSkXR4VU_va-ObHJM_aem_AYPdewdADSH5Zza8mlqd5RMjfDLoTwm7PNY5LdJgDJ8niOo5Rx6UoovRJvbmuj3spYA&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

It may seem contradictory to go to Road America for drag racing, but I think I’m interested because it’s a creative way to use the track and be on Road America, even if only 330 ft of it. Events are done for the year. I’ll be paying attention for next year. I think this would be fun to do an...

Helping with a Jeep quote and was quoted 22 hours to replace a subframe on a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. That sounds insane. Can anyone verify?

It appears there are reproductions available for $150, but does anyone have a local WS6 lower air box sitting around they’d like to sell? My car has the base TA short opening box and I’m looking for the taller opening box to better line up with the VFN hood and the nostril openings.

This Barbie Power Wheels with no batteries and bandaged steering was a freebie, and I know people convert these to run on power tool batteries so I figured why not! With my kids not having experience with these, I didn’t want to throw 18-volts at them so wanted to keep the power at 12-volts. I...

Was thinking about heading down with the kids. I know a few people here occasionally race. @Intel @Dan00Hawk

My mother-in-law’s AWD 3 Series got a gash in one tire and was losing air so I had one replaced at Discount Tire, but am debating having the new one shaved to match the other rear. The new tire is 11/32, the other rear is 8/32 and the fronts are 7/32. They’re at the generally acceptable (from...

A good time waiting for you at the Naperville location on Ogden and Aurora Ave.

This is so unbelievably cool. You’re getting the chiseled looks of a classic with the (mostly) modern everything. Way more than a typical restomod could provide. Although as far as crashworthiness, I think getting rid of the windshield frame, roof and pillars takes away a lot of the potential...

Bought these in 2021 and made one pass. No street miles. I planned to try and dig deeper in the 11s with my car and gave up track time so I have no need to keep these around. Located in Naperville. Happy to take more pics if needed. These tires...

Huge thanks to Rodger at RAM for taking care of a few repair and maintenance items on the Trans Am. AC compressor started puking oil and Rodger replaced the compressor; I thought it would be oil pan or rear seal considering how much oil was on the bottom of the car. Also aligned the car with all...

This popped up in my Cars.com alerts at some random dealer, and raised an eyebrow for the “LS9 Katech 416” because I couldn’t find that engine in their build section. But what did show up was the build thread from a Katech engineer on his personal ultimate street/track 1LE build, which is this...

Reading the recent vinyl collection thread made me want to see if anyone was into vintage audio amps, receivers, speakers, etc. I stumbled into it by picking up my dad‘s unused old Onkyo A-7070 amp from the early 1980s and found a pair of 1990’s JBL D38 speakers with trashed grilles, melted...

My mother-in-law got stuck in traffic after leaving our house because a plane landed on 355. :eek3: Seems like a clean landing and no one injured. https://abc7chicago.com/bolingbrook-plane-crash-il-news-breaking/12685334/

Considering a 16-hour road trip with the kiddos for spring break. We’ve never taken a trip this long with the kids before. What’s your experience with frequency of stops, what to bring, how much was too much, time to leave, etc.? I recognize each kid/family is different but I just wanna hear TCG...

After having this on my to-do list for literally years, I finally started recording our massive catalog of VHS home videos to digital. Growing up, we had a three-drawer console cabinet filled with 100+ VHS tapes from the mid-80s until about mid-90s when we collectively sucked as kids so there...

By sim racer YouTuber and semi-real-racer Jimmy Broadbent. JB has enough credibility and virtual/real track experience to make this a dependable list. Really surprised by GT7. Thought it would rank at least one tier higher.

Hopefully it's not just a regurgitation of reality based garbage TV. Would really like to see motorsports coverage, even if it's not top-level series, which it likely couldn't be due to existing licensing. Series like the World Challenge series as it currently exists, maybe some lower-level...
