Well it's been about two years since I ran the bird in AI. It's a long story if you don't know. Anyway I took the car out to BRP in Nov and ran it in TT, and blew the motor up in the 3rd session on Sat. I wasn't to upset though. If some really bad stuff didn't go down at Fontana two years ago, it might have let go on the speedway(150mph) there on Sun. That would have hurt alot! I just pick up a 98 corvette long block for $1400 with 114t miles on it. I start a tread in the engine section on the basic mods to it. I'm not doing a full rebuild since I'll most likely never race the car in AI again.
Any way I e been doing alot of Jeepin with a $800 93 ZJ. A grand cherokee guys. I've spent two years of race budget on the thing as of now. It's a lie of course, when the suspension on it cost more than the AI car. I still have the black firebird also, it really just needs a few good days to finish the small stuff, exhaust, and the Koni DA's rebuild. I'll post up a few pic's, and see who is still around here.

I've done lot's of Jeepin' over the years. My DD used to be a '89 YJ with an 8" custom lift I built, D44's front and rear with detroits and 36" super swampers. It would climb walls (and right over onto it's top, ask me how I know). We still have a '03 WJ. It's all stock though. It's the wifes DD. I still think my favorite Jeep I ever had was my '95 XJ. It was a 2 door 5 speed manual with the 4.0 HO. 4.5" lift and 32's with a locked rear diff. I have pics of them, but no hosting place to post them.

I have fully built axles, both locked, 231, LA, ect ect. It has to many mods to list. Typical racer mentality I guess. It would be nice to live in CO, I can still do the Jeep thing, run the car, and work in the oil business. And I can get rid of the hippie government. |
