Also bought a digital dial board from Biondo because I race alone quite a bit and I hate when I decide to change my dial AFTER I have strapped in. No more problem. Ordered new front runners hoping they won't leak through the sidewalls like the last set. Probably going to get a new scoop for the car. Updating me also with a new firesuit.

The wife bought me a new 20' enclosed trailer so I have been working on getting it set up the way I want. I have to say this has been a good Christmas season for me. I hope everyone of you has as blessed of a Christmas as my family is having.

I soak the inside of the sidewalls front runners & back slicks with dawn dishwashing soap the night befor i mount them seems to help them hold air better; give it a try :wink: Nice wheels :wink:

badrat1430 02-12-2011 08:03 PM
4 new tires & oil change :lol:

Badrat,
I put dishsoap in one and slime in the other. It slowed down the leaking but still won't hold more than a week. Thanks for the compliment on the wheels, I really like them Champion has some good prices on there wheels.

Hey Curtis, what kind of tires were you running before and what are you going to run now?

curtisreed 02-13-2011 10:44 AM
Goodyears on both accounts. I haven't mounted the new ones yet but I am going to soap them just to be safe. The reason for GY is the first set was used and I am running GY on back. Plus they were the cheapest when I went to buy.

BEAST477 02-13-2011 12:54 PM
If you got time soap them twice. Use a brush and concentrate on the sidewalls. It might not be the total cure but it sure helped me.

curtisreed 02-13-2011 01:36 PM
Yep, put 3 coats on the last ones. It did help, you should have seen how bad they were when I first got them. :shock: :shock:

:D they are normally on a 2 year program. I actually may enjoy redoing cars more then racing sometimes. :lol: This new one came from a RJ Member and I'll have pics of it when done, it was the best used car I've ever purchased and the end result will show that.

Bought a 79 Z/28 a few nights back, will be delivered tomorrow. Nice clean 4-speed car with a just refreshed Chevy ZZ4 crate motor. We will see if it meets my expectations when it gets here.

I can't believe you still bought a 4 speed car. All the polite messages and suggestions you got about an auto and you still didn't go for it.
What were you thinking?? lol

Hope it's a good car for you. I know you looked at several before you found the one.
