Bit tongue in cheek as the only things out here that have frames that aren't rusted out are trucks! Agree on the bridge jack, definitely worth having!

Ah frame cars, we call those trucks here ;) I have a piece of thick c channel I use across the tops of the jackstands if needed.

On my four post I just use the jack stands on the ramps and position them on the stock jack points. Never had an issue.

So, been a minute. Sold my Corrado to another racer to avoid putting a cage in a nice car. Got this. Should be interesting. Never raced anything that had traction so guess I gotta make some hp with it.

It made it the week, multiple 11.6x slips and only one munched transmission. Better info later.

11.77 at numidia on the brakes, broke the diff in Jim Thorpe. Replaced the trans w a stocker and limping through the rest of the week.

This was a bit wild to see One of these looks a little different. 11.66 in testing on Sun and prep was so down to the wire on time the tune is just a rough adjustment on the methanol map from the old car. Insane.

Keeping up with my sidequests, a widebody mk1 Scirocco with an itb'd oettinger 16v that I have been tuning.

80 Rabbit with a 3.6 swap that I did the full wiring harness for moved under its own power today for the first time. Fueltech 550 for the motor and ecu masters pdm for the chassis.

Now that I am comfy, some work getting done. Finishing teardown of my oops. Looks like a center headbolt broke and let water in cyl4 causing it all. 4 bent valves and head may be junk too. Fun

Been a minute. Race car season is in full effect but still not done 😅 Finally had a few favors traded in and got the mini split installed. The boys did an awesome job and left me room for the "future shed" on my gravel pad. Even just the fan on low circulates the air nicely. Can't wait to crank...

Sometimes I remember I have a lift and not just a race car parking pad. Definitely better than the ground. The four post does really well on suspension work and added bonus of easy diy alignments on it.

Yea bearing shell is welded to the crank. Piston is in pieces. Can't find any of the wrist pin. Still not sure the cause other than high rpm stock engine.

Pulled out of the hole in the front of the motor.
