    V1 Jim McDonald // Extended Track // '09 HHR SS/TC Automatic

    After running the Konig Tandem 17x9.5 , we have had a slight rub. Edit : just noticed from the pic that it got the brake line as well.

    V1 Second Stage Photos and Questions

    I've spent hours and hours searching for answers only to give up and ask on the forum. I usually have an answer in a few minutes. I'm not saying don't do your homework, but I'm also saying it can be a real time saver to just ask the question. The people on this forum are some of the smartest...

    V1 Second Stage Photos and Questions

    Install Tip. Put the front end together with standard nuts, do your alignment and switch out to nylocs after the final adjustment. It takes several adjustments to get things just where you want them and it's a lot easier if you can take the nuts off with your fingers in order to spin the heim...

    V1 Second Stage Photos and Questions

    This was covered in Sasqwatch's build log. Just stretch it out. They draw in a little when welded.

    V1 LED Headlight, Turn Signal & Brake Wiring

    Ark, thanks for the reply. Let me preface this with the disclaimer that I am electrically ignorant. I've used W=(V)(A) since high school physics and that's where my understanding slows significantly, other than the last 2 days. Can I ask, where did the 100ohm number come from for this...

    V1 LED Headlight, Turn Signal & Brake Wiring

    I've got a bunch of weird brake light symptoms. I'm using the same tail lights as you are. How many watts is the 100 ohm resistor you are using?

    V1 Ark's City Goblin #187 (2008 SS/TC donor)

    We use latches on anything in the dirt because inverably camlocks get dirty and won't come apart or people that don't use them all of the time will not get one leg engaged. We put camlocks in the Goblin, but it is nice to look over at a passenger to see they are buckled at a moments glance...

    V1 Desert Sasqwatch #155 Track (mods) - 08 SS/TC crate LNF F40

    We just looked done-ish, our car is in pieces again. We were slamming things together violently to make that race. We are now going back through and building it closer to the way I had envisioned. You are going to have a bunch of innovative details that will give you the "very cool" factor...

    V1 Desert Sasqwatch #155 Track (mods) - 08 SS/TC crate LNF F40

    Why did I not think/remember about cutting that cap in at least 2 pieces? I have been designing and building an ebrake (your ebrake has been cut and welded in several places, thanks for the donation), with most everything hidden in the tunnel. A multi piece cap is going to simplify it greatly...

    V1 Desert Sasqwatch #155 Track (mods) - 08 SS/TC crate LNF F40

    I knew my cap had to come right back of so these are what we used also. I was worried about the "drill" portion of the screw, so we cut those off and rounded them after the initial install. Just takes a minute to pull the cap now.

    I'm interested as well. I pm'ed you as well.

    V1 Justin's city extended (09 ss/tc)

    Justin, what part of California are you in? Did you start a Montana LLC? How will you handle insurance? California or Montana? I'm starting the registration process in Vegas.

    V1 Brake lights on in gear.

    Does anyone know, if your brake pedal switch/sensor isn't calibrated, will the brake lights stay on any time you are in gear, forward or reverse? We have no brake lights when you press the pedal, but they are on any time you put it in gear. Turn signals work correctly. Driving lights work...

    V1 Rttoys’s track- ‘06 ss/sc #184

    Its going to be very tricky putting it in the toyhauler. He'll have to raise the front of the trailer, and extend the ramp as long as possible, to make the crest from ramp to trailer.

    V1 Ark's City Goblin #187 (2008 SS/TC donor)

    I did. I'm sure plenty of people don't, and I don't really like having the dust trap, but they are dissimilar metals.

    V1 Mayor West's 09 SS/TC Ext. Track Turbo #191 [South Carolina] [Registered] [Sold]

    My memory says they are 7/16-24 and we had to run a tap through them. I think they get messed up from being welded in.

    Need a bit of help convincing wife to build

    My wife supported me through the project, but after months of me being holed up in the shop, she was starting to show signs of frustration. Then I kept hearing, "and how much has the whole car cost now". I could see serious signs of "you better get this project done soon". Well, we took it to...

    V1 #&@* Supply and Demand

    Seriously? Problem solved. Just wish I hadn't spent $50 on a new cam sensor connector on Friday. The harness would have been free. My harness was sevearly oiled and de-loomed. There are several connectors that had wire nuts holding them on. I've soldered up and fixed everything I can, but a...

    V1 #&@* Supply and Demand

    The latch is what broke. I've bought 2 of them for $50 each and they've both been wrong. Looks like I'll have to spend $100+ to get the right one. When it falls off, it quits immediately, and there's not a lot of room down there to put it back on.
