After a year-long hiatus from racing, a buddy and I are building a new Volvo 940 for entry in the ChumpCar VIR 24 hours. The race is August 8-10 and will start in the North course, but will include...

I've got a specialty tool or three (namely engine & SRS scan tools for cars with the round connector) that I wouldn't mind loaning to club members who need them, free of charge. Especially for...

My race team, Cobra Kai, is heading for its second full-day race, the Chump Car 25 hour at Nelson Ledges next month. We've had a couple of drivers back out, so we're looking to get a 5th. The car...

A big thanks to everyone who made the school happen.

Special thanks to David Ortiz, for helping me put the spronged spring back in my car. Also the peanut gallery for commenting on the...

Fans are overrated. After I replaced the radiator in my '97 M3, either I positioned it wrong or fiddled with the radiator clips wrong, but the fan would catch on the radiator. Having heard of...

Somewhere in Falls Church would be great; can't say I have any ideas, though.

I think I'm going to have to ditch you guys for this type of racing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idzPxslH8zs

I'll get my pictures from this weekend up tonight, but in looking through ones from earlier this Summer, I found this cadre of E30 M3s:

So, the E36 manual recommends 5w30 for cold temperatures and 15w40 for hot. Has anyone found 15w40 in our area? I checked my AutoZone and wasn't surprised that they don't have it. Does Wally World...

I didn't really catch anything exciting, but here are a few pictures from last weekend. I was standing on the bridge during and instructor session on Sunday and got some skidpad pictures.

Same thoughts here; is arriving late OK for tomorrow?

I'm looking to replace the shocks on my E36, does anyone have a spring compressor I can borrow in Northern Viginia?

Heh, you've got a great car there, but I feel the same thing. As you do more driver's schools, it's a lot more gratifying to become faster by your own skill than through mods.

I just put up my pictures from this weekend's drivers' school:

Why isn't there a picture of your car?
- I hate you
- You hate me
- I hate...

I caught "freude am fahren" when the tester guy was just sitting down in the driver's seat.

My car had to sit outside (covered) this winter and I wasn't around to clean off the salt and brake dust (college). As such, there is a lot of corrosion and it seems that they need to be refinished;...

Radar jamming is illegal, but laser jamming is not.

I'm looking for a dove gray glovebox for an E36 coupe. Anyone parting out a car?

ABS and traction control both use the same sensors, those being the ABS wheel speed sensors. Odds are, an ABS sensor has gone bad.

If someone has the tool, I'd be interested in doing an installfest. Should it be replacementfest?

Hmm, I don't think I could make an order:

The Big Lebowski
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch
Rounders
Office Space

How long should it cure? I usually do Wolfgang and then some Meguires the next day; is that long enough?

Yep, I know. I tried a number of fixes, dissasembled the glovebox and surrounding area a number of times, to no avail. I even tried the screws-next-to-the-latch-acceptor thing, and that just left...

Mine sags like whoa; I'd love to get a new one.
