Cut off all the crappy Vbands and tigged on some thick high quality male/female S.S. Vbands. The CX racing 90 degree to T4 elbows are awesome after you put new Vbands on them! Waiting for my 1.75" mandrel bends to come in to add my MVS WG's to the mix.

North Iowa Area Community College open-house community event. No tuning is done or allowed during this day as we want to keep the cars moving so everyone who wants to run gets a chance. Any and all cars are welcome as long as they can run in 2 wheel drive mode. No diesel trucks this day please. We will be keeping a scoreboard for high/low horsepower numbers for the day!
Dyno runs are on a first come basis. When you arrive, you'll want to come to the dyno run table and register. We'll give you a dyno waiver sheet that you sign and fill out your name/car info; this also has your run number on it. You'll hang onto the sheet until your number is up. When you pull in, you'll hand the sheet to the dyno operator who will put all of the info into the computer so that your runs are saved under your name.
If you have any questions please contact Gerrot Jacobson at 641-422-4263 (jacobger@niacc.edu) or Rob Heimbuch at 641-422-4155 (heimbrob@niacc.edu).

Looking for a Cheap 10 Bolt Hey guys, I haven't been on here for a while. Wife, Kids, Broken Car, and busy with everyday life. You guys know the story. Anyways...
My reason for posting is that a friend, and fellow Tech Member, busted the Diff in the 10 Bolt of his 98 T/A yesterday. He's looking for something that's local and reasonably priced. If anyone has one or knows of one that someone would be willing to part with, please PM me.
His car is a Manual with Traction Control, but as of right now, he's up for throwing anything in it to get the car back on the road.
If you have any info please PM me. Thanks.
P.S. I realize this isn't the Classifieds, but as I mentioned he'd really like to find a 10 Bolt that isn't located 7 hours away. That's my reason for posting here instead of creating a "WTB" Thread for the entire Midwest Section. Thanks for understanding.

Alrighty, after that heavy rain the last few days and temperatures back on the rise next week, who's getting their cars out? Mine should be back to me in about two weeks and I'm ready to make up for lost time.

I can't believe I still remember my log in. Lets take it to the top. I've busted my wheel studs on both sides in the rear. Didn't mess the wheel up. I have a Moser 9". Anyone ever have this happen to them?
