    Lets talk Engine Builders...

    Well.... I'm sure hoping Mike figures out why my engine keeps losing oil pressure. I brought my engine to him last year and so far, I have had a day and a half of a running car. Mind you, he is trying to get it figured out without charging me to rebuild it for the third/forth time, but I...

    Motorhome & Enclosed or 5th wheel and why?

    Another thing to consider... I use my box trailer to keep the bikes, generator, beach cruisers, ice chests, and dirt/sand tires stored when not in use. Helps me keep my garage space. Not sure if you would want to store things in a 5th wheel with all the fuel smells and everything.

    Motorhome & Enclosed or 5th wheel and why?

    They both definitely have their advantages/disadvantages. We recently looked into switching it up and going to a 5th wheel. Some very nice trailers out there but what brought us back to the RV/Box was the fact that only a few trailers will fit our car. The ones that have a garage big enough are...

    My faith in humanity has been restored - what would you do ?

    I am always honest about the stuff I sell. If something was questionable, buyer would know about it prior to purchase. If I bought something that broke a week later, that's on me. You bought a used off road vehicle and got pissed when you found out it was broken then threatened to take the...

    Small Twin Turbos vs Supercharger - School me Please

    Got some decent numbers from my TT 6.0 setup yesterday. This is on 11lbs of boost and I threw 5 gallons of 110 in the tank to be safe.

    Sand Co Chassis

    Seeing all the DD cars has kind of made me think about how many car builders have gone away over time. Anyone here have a Sand Co car? My first sand rail was an OG mid-engine beam car with a Car Craft built 2332 that ripped. (sorry no pictures) Next car was a Sand Limo 4 seater beam car...

    Do You Use GPS/Navigation In a Sandcar?

    I had a handheld unit in my last car for emergencies. Only ever tried to use it for guidance at night. I've never been so lost! I had to turn the thing off and go back to my roots. New to me car has an older Lowrance in the dash. I loaded some coords for waypoints but don't really plan to use it...

    Correct term?

    Usually either my BIL or I lead. He and I both know when we get into a funk but can typically work our way through it. If anyone says something (usually one of the wives), it mostly goes along the lines of "that was a rough one". I'm the first to admit when I blow a section.

    How’s your summer prep coming along?

    Lost oil pressure while on the dyno. Had to pull the engine and take it back to the builder. Not having much luck with this car...

    How’s your summer prep coming along?

    Well, I thought I was almost ready, but my engine decided otherwise.

    Going 11/1 first time in 23 years to Glamis

    Glamis has always been wild. Buggys and bikes getting stolen from camps and stripped overnight, epic parties, fights, and other not so legal activities. Not sure why everyone acts like this is new.... Maybe we just forgot, since we didn't have social media and camera phones back then. LOL!

    Another Tire Thread

    Since tires seem to be the topic of discussion as of late, I will ask my question. After reading the 36's too big for an S4 thread and the 36's/35.5's on 8" wheel thread I have been pretty torn on tire selection. My car is 2530lbs with a Fortin H pattern 4 speed. Twin turbo LS that I'm still...

    Rear tire advise

    As said above, the Blaster 33 is probably too much bite for the setup you have. Gearing makes a big difference, but I tried a few setups on my last car and the 13.00-Plus on a 10" wheel was by far the best overall for my 3.5/built 091 car. Car was 1600lbs without me in it. I had tried the...

    What do you do for work?

    I did REO lock outs, clean outs, bi-monthly inspections, and maintenance for a few years in the mid-late 90's. We saw so much shit people would lose their minds over today. A lot of stories though.

    Small Twin Turbos vs Supercharger - School me Please

    Not to derail this thread but planning to run pump gas on my tt setup. I'm hesitant to run E85 because of fuel consumption. What are you thoughts on 91 pump with VP additive? Race gas just keeps getting harder and harder to get in CA. https://vpracingfuels.com/products/octane-booster
