IHADAV8 Playground / Hellcat Shopping
« on: June 06 2017, 09:25:13 AM »
Anyone else get permission from their spouse to do this? We figure the bottom is going to fall out of the market with the Demon coming and now may very well be the time to act in order to get one in decent condition. 

Hopefully we can get rid of the TBSS and move into a manual trans, low option, Challenger.  As both of the girls are now in forward facing car seats this opens a world of opportunity for vehicle selection.

I kind of want a white one.

IHADAV8 Playground / ATR Swaybar
« on: May 29 2017, 04:05:49 PM »
I have a vintage ATR swaybar sitting here and must ask:

Is it worth anything/selling?

Or is it just an old cool guy part?

If I can get close to the $200 need for another Hellwig (55809) I will gladly part with this thing.

IHADAV8 Playground / Snow Shoveling
« on: December 09 2016, 08:44:08 PM »
Since we are BSing about snow I thought I would show what nonsense I have to deal with, and why I own a snowblower - but, still pay for someone to plow our driveway.  I just cleared about 1-1.5" of powder off of this whole thing by hand - mostly because I hate myself.

How bad do you have it?

IHADAV8 Playground / The Asshole Next Door, or the Assholes Next Door?

Clearly I know (in my mind) which title is a better fit.
http://jalopnik.com/awful-neighbors-are-suing-their-neighbor-because-he-wor-1787769218

But, I have been "that guy" on more than one occasion.  Even had my next door neighbour come storming into my garage one night last year to chastise me for the excessive noise at 2300hrs - my bad, not a cool move on her part (she was dealing with some personal shit at the time), and we got past it.  However, she still knows who benefits from having that handy guy next door with the know-how, tools and supplies - and all that experience comes from being invested in the hobby.  Like the other day when I topped up the original brake fluid in her 200+km Toyota - because didn't want her to be out there unsafe.

IHADAV8 Playground / Factory Freaks.
« on: September 21 2016, 02:41:23 PM »
We haven't had a good BS session in a while.

I've been reading a lot about factory parts variances/manufacturing tolerances lately.  The subject also came up in some Youtube videos and even during Drag Week.

It is interesting to hear that there are some pretty wide and acceptable ranges that will pass QC testing for the Big 3.  Without going too far into it, my brother is a production engineer and does the validation for production line machinery.  But, the kinds of things that slip through would astound some people.  I am not just talking about casting, core shift or minor machining issues - rather things like cranks and cams ground with variables that would enhance or detract from vehicle performance.

I believe this is where certain cars out perform their assembly line sibilings simply because of a combination of the "right parts built wrong" coming together.  Some of the discussions I have seen include cranks being ground off enough to impact where TDC lies, and then you can compound this with cams that are also ground a few degrees off; next thing you know you either have a dog or a racehorse in factory stock trim because suddenly the stock fuel/timing/airflow tables are less conservative.

Obviously this is where things like blueprinting or parts-bin hunting for 1-in-100 components that have favourable specs that can give a performance advantage in classes which require stock parts/part numbers.

I know in the case of the LS1 that came in our '02 Camaro, it had an LS6 block with better bank to bank breathing - which is worth an estimated 10hp over a standard LS1 block.  But, this was simply a question of circumstance as the LS6 blocks were substituted as the LS1 blocks were unavailable (no real method to employing them).  Regardless, we ended up with a very strong running car.

Anywho, we have seen this time and again where some cars just run harder than others right off the showroom floor.
