Burnout Contest at the Car Craft Nats

Hi!

This year I made the 2009 Car Craft Nats in St Paul, MN. I'd never been before. The event was huge (and that's an understatement) and cars were everywhere.

There was a burnout contest that was pretty neat. Unfortunately the only video I was able to get was of a Buick Roadmaster (which looked like it had a lot of promise, but kind of fizzled out).

Would you buy a car sight unseen?

Hi there,

Thanks for visiting my blog page!

I recently went to a Mec** Collector Car auction (here's a link with pictures from the event). It was really impressive, to say the least. It led me to thinking though - would I ever buy a car sight unseen? Buying a $200,000 car as an investment is one thing, but buying something I'd drive a lot (or fix up) is… Continue

Samurai completed

I've finally completed my samurai. It took me only a few months, thanks to my day job slowing down. I finished the 20r upgrade and man... it was worth it. It has more power than the VW turbo diesel that I installed in a sammy a few years back, not as good of mileage though. It has a weber 38, header, ignition kit, new double roller timing chain, rod bearings, and seals. The axles are from a toy pickup that had the 4.30 gears, and lockers, I put trail ready high steer and a toy IFS power… Continue

why can't i find performance parts for my cobalt ss/sc

everyone knows by now what the chevy cobalt is and has the potential to become but why can't i find the right parts. For example pencil coils, and a good power programmer are not to be seen, or at least by me anyway. I just want to unlock the power of the EVIL-tec engine but the performance products are not there or are they?
