Well, ABS has been standard on US cars for quite some time .... thanks to the government. I'm not sure when this was developed, but I would say it comes down to dollars. Having this on a mid 80's car before ABS probably wouldn't sell anymore cars and would cost some money. As far as...

If you don't have any luck obtaining an electronic ABS system, you could use a mechanical lock resistant system from DPI. I've had really good luck with this. It simply installs in the rear brake line and helps prevent lock up under hard braking...

I had a problem when I used a 3" aluminum driveshaft. Under hard turns, the body shifted and rubbed the driveshaft. Didn't have a problem at first when I was running poly body mounts, but when I switched back to rubber mounts the clearances were so tight that it created several rub locations...

Awesome book. I've read it several times and use it as my assembly manual three times now for my TH350 :thumbs:.

I just went with a standard clutch along with aluminum flywheel and it made a noticable difference when shifting. Like yours mine is still a street car that only gets to the track half a dozen times a year.

I'm running similar ones made by Moroso on my driveshaft. Been using them for quite a few years on the Vette and a Cutlass that I drag race, and have never had any universal joint issues. http://www.moroso.com/catalog/categorydisplay.asp?catcode=44012 Regretfully, their website doesn't give...

I was wondering what your guys thoughts are on some seats. I currently have a firethorn/white interior with white leather seats, which I really do like. However, the seats don't accomodate a 5 point seat belt that I would like to install along with a HANS device for HPDE's. I have...

A few weeks ago we were at the Goodguys event in Indy, and I took some pictures of my father's 32 Ford that I help him build. Just thought I'd share a few pictures of it. It's been a dream of his to own one of these since I was a small child. Enjoy.

Those are for drag racing. Oh by the way, alot of groups putting on HPDE's will not allow beginners (green group) to run R compound or slicks - DOT street tires only.

I made it back to the track earlier than I expected .... kind of a last minute thing. Corvette Troy sponsered an open track day at Putnam Park. I have to give a thumbs up to my instructor Scott Shimdt (spelling??) that gave me some really good advise. I managed to drop a little over 3 seconds...

While at a corvette cruise this weekend, I ran a low speed autocross (ran the last 2 runs in 1st gear). Even though I didn't run that great, it was alot of fun and it gave me an excuse to try out my revised camera mount :D. My times are highlighted in yellow below...

First try at video taping HPDE Regretfully, due to my home made mount sucking and user error I only was able to get a few minutes of footage and it wasn't even on a very good lap :cussing:. I need to get a good mount before my next HPDE. It's a pretty cheap digital recorder, and it has an...
