I don't give a fk. If I could race around in a circle with that adrenaline and rush you have and winning six figures weekly I would do it. Make fun of it all you want, in the end, they're making more then 10 times your salary lol

Get in the car and race that sht and you'll understand why they do it.

I can understand a little that its boring to watch but to each their own on that.

i like watching it sometimes. i dont hate nascar, ive been to a couple brickyard 400's myself. i like the crashes.

but i would love to be a professional nascar driver or a drifter. my two dreams that will prob never happen lol.

^This guy wants to be the next Ken Block and/or Tanner Foust

I go to the track sometimes too. No one has ever asked about my trunk mounted battery or lack of a cut off switch. Ever.

Half the time they don't even look at my car.


I think you'd probably be surprised to find actual voltage drop would be higher than what you are calculating. I'm using some pretty large cable from my battery in the trunk (it's either 0 or 1awg, don't recall which), and when I turn on my ignition sometimes I only see 11.9-12 volts. Should be higher than that, but you also get resistance from every connection and terminal you have to add to the run of wire.

Basically, unless you race regularly in a specific class and they tell you that you have to have it... I wouldn't bother with it. These cars aren't that fast or powerful, and it's highly unlikely one would ever get out of control enough to flip it. Not like an 8000hp funny car. Adding all that extra wire and hardware just adds cost, time, and weight.




edit: oh yeah.... F**K nascar! That crap is boring as hell to watch and the cars are stupid. Who cares how much money they make. It's nothing but a redneck soap opera.

All-Olds again... mostly

So this was my project this weekend. Decided to tackle it at home since I had to let paint/primer dry over night, and I could use my oven to bake the parts.

The chrome on my sparco fuel door was all peeling and flaking off, and I could see a little bit of rust starting under it, so I decided to fix that before it became a problem. Plus the little flap on the filler neck was kinda too far in because of the way I put everything together originally to make it work, and it made it kind of difficult to fill up the car, so I wanted to do something about that.


I took it all apart and sanded the rust spots on the sheet metal and the filler tube and hit them with some rust reformer primer, then painted them. I cut about 1/2" off the funnel part that came with the fuel door, and about 1/8" off the stock part with the flap, so it's a little closer to the body now and I won't have to force the fuel nozzle as far in. Chipped off all the chrome that was loose and sanded the whole thing, then primed and painted it. I think it came out pretty good. I just hope it last a good while.

i like all kinds of racing, and i hate to say it but f1 isnt? the most exciting part of an f1 race is the start. after that youre watching pretty much one person lead the whole race, with hardly any crashes. it gets boring too. at least in nascar they can be a little more physical with the cars, and arent out of the race because someone taps them.

I'd have to disagree with that too. There was some pretty exciting racing last year. Heck, they had 7 different winners in the first 7 races. And at the least the cars are technologically advanced and have amazing performance. Not like the dinosaurs in nascar. And going in circles forever is not exciting to watch.

Road course is a circle with some right turns thrown in.

Da wax at work

A few things I got done so far.
 

1.Removed Grand am and Pontiac signs

2.Added L.e.d under the front headlights

3.Got new Xenon super white headlight bulbs

4.Bought new headlights since old ones was yellow and dull.

5.50% tint on the front and 5% on the back.

6.Tinted taillights.

Blue bulbs increase visibility by 110%

Bought new headlights but didn't get black housing :amraam:

Those LEDs look retarded. It's not a bloody Audi.

I will agree with this but I was trying to hold back ;crap

Ever since Audi started making cars with the LED DRLs on their cars, every ricer with a weekly paycheck has been buying cheapo LEDs from Autozone to emulate this look.

i might add a yellow strip under mine....soley for turn signal though....can barely see my inner LED one since the dam headlight company painted the reflector part black

I think LED or CCFL running lights can look good if done correctly... but these cheapo universal ones people are buying and installing look like crap. They are cheap and they look it, and they take no real fabrication or effort to install.

Added a few new things to the GA such as..... clear corners, SC/T spoiler and some control arms with poly bushings.
