Aluminum Radiator by B Cool
Tubular upper and lower front suspension control arms.

the show. Pancake it out at the show or jack it up at the drag strip. Controller allows for a custom preset ride
height, so every time you start car it goes to your preferred height.
Trophy wining and quality throughout.
I'm selling because wife and kids forcing sale. We are running out of room. It is only driven a 3-4 times a year
and every time gets thumbs up from everyone young and old and is just a DREAM to start up and roll down the road
in. I've truly loved this car and hate to see her go. I love just walking by it in the garage and admiring it. 2nd
owner/builder did an absolute amazing job on everything on this car. I have misplaced all his original build
photos, but still retain manuals for everything on the car. I have an appraisal from June 2006 that I used to
insure the car at $75,000
In an effort to try and get this done right the first time I'm listing all issues with car:
On mothers day I accidentally locked the keys in the trunk at the gas station. I tried to access by pulling rear
seat, but amp and compressor mount wouldn't allow. I had to drill out trunk lock and drill bit just slipped a bit
and there is a bee-bee size nick just around the trunk lock. (see picture). I replaced the lock and all is perfect
and works well, just a bee-bee size paint nick.
There is some slight paint burn on the fuel tank (under the car) from exhaust. May or may not be able to be
polished out. I've never tried to polish it out. I'm unsure of the correct way to address it. I'm not a motor-head
and I really would only take the car out to drive, enjoy, show, wash and put back in the garage a few times a year.
The battery that is currently in the car is a heavy crank battery. It has a polished and machined metal mount to
receive an Optoma blue top gel battery. Since the car sat a lot, I went through 2 of the gel batteries because
those type of batteries can't be brought down to 0% and back. They just die. The lead battery has been great, but
to go to the show I would put a gel cap back in there because it just looks proper that way. since all the amps and
compressor are so techy looking a blue battery sets it off. Car also will come with a little pig tail 2amp trickle
charging unit that makes it fun for the show or easy in the garage, where you can keep it plugged in and all the
lights and stereo going while it is parked without losing the battery power. I can hook it back up for the new
owner if they like. It was originally machined to fit on top of the Gel Cap machined mount that I removed when I
took out the gel cap. Never got around to fabbing a new mount for the trickle charger so I just let it sit in the
parts box.
There is one very light paint chip at the top of the quarter panel where it meets the hood. Not from rubbing, and I
have no idea when or how this happened it was like that when I purchased the car (see picture). Very minor flaw.
Vehicle located in Woodinville, WA in my insulated garage and open for preview anytime. Title is free and clear and
vehicle is ready for transport. I'm available by e-mail .

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes
Thu, Feb 5 2015General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
