I have been talking with Tom about this subject, but now that I am done I thought I would share it with the group. About 15 years ago I built my AR with a freefloat handguard and a Wilson combat 16" SS bull barrel. I wanted to shave some weight off it, move to a Wilde chamber and extend the...

My Coupe has been lonely lately so I arranged for a friend to come over to hang out!

Well I made it home from work in time to make the race tomorrow. If anyone is out and about please stop by. No rides as I have not had time to install the passenger seat yet. Should be a beautiful day! Pray for no more mechanicals as the last one was quite expensive. I will be running 2nd heat...

Anybody else going to make it. Sunday is supposed to be very nice. Can't wait as my car is better than it ever has been.

I finally ran my 1st event of competition on Sunday. Even though we ran in the rain and got soaked, I had a blast. I got to try out the new windows which worked pretty well. They just need a few tweaks to be more functional. Of course the additional power from the cam swap helped matters, but...

Anybody know this car and builder???? Nice car for the money: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replica-Kit-Makes-Factory-Five-GTM-Supercar-/291437780508?forcerrptr=true&hash=item43db0b9e1c&item=291437780508

Anybody got $340K I can borrow?

Here is the info on the Test and Tune at Gateway next Sunday. It really is a great way to learn the limits and any bad characteristics of your car. You can swap cars and see how others compare. You can also let a local hot shoe drive your car to see what it is capable of. Price is $65...

I just ordered a few of the $10 T-shirts on sale. Check them out: http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?14835-Great-Summer-Sale-C****-amp-D******-T-Shirts-at-10-only!!!!!&highlight=shirt

I ran event #4 today and continued to be amazed by how much better the car is. It understeers in some places and gets loose in others, but remains controllable no matter what. My raw time today tied my best finish ever back when I was on fresh R-comps. Not too bad for my 100 TW street tires...

What a beautiful day for racing! I ran event 3 today and the car was better than it ever has been. I did a lot of mods over the winter and am very pleased they have paid off. The car was a tad softer and much easier to control than it ever has been. The fear of it jumping up and trying to kill...

Looks like I am out for Sunday. Car runs great and is done. Unfortunately my dad is in ICU and not doing well again. I would appreciate prayer for him. God willing I will see you at event 3.

We need to step it up and get the vote out. Rick tied for 1st and is now loosing in the 24 hr runoff. We all need to go vote again ASAP. http://www.ffcars.com/forums/17-factory-five-roadsters/423305-april-pom-run-off-election.html

I finally got the car running and did a couple of test videos. The Lobak inserts are a little small and loose fitting so I will have to tighten them up some, but for now here is an example. Open headers, sorry about the camera angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjpDVDO3NAo Lobaks, are...

The engine and T56 6 speed trans are bolted up and installed. I just finished fabricating the hydraulic clutch setup with the Wilwood 3/4 remote reservoir master cylinder. I just need to mount the reservoir and it is done. I hope to have it bled this weekend and then start wrapping it up. Here...

Well I finally started my winter mods. Due to limited time before the start of the AX season I am trying to keep it simple. Anybody need a TKO 500???? 1. Install a T56 6 speed. 2. Move engine 1"-2" to accommodate the new trans. 3. Slightly modify the exhaust which will include using Lobaks and...

I really like some of the lines of this car. What do you think? http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1088512_mercedes-benz-amg-vision-gran-turismo-concept-revealed

Here are a couple of really cool Trophy truck videos. It is amazing what they can do these days with high travel suspensions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUdW8PukWVI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dak_3m798Ic

My daughter and I took a last minute cruise to Grafton yesterday. It was a very nice ride. I snapped a couple of cell phone pics.
