  1. Sun brought out over 20 cars for this annual even. Unfortunate we had to bring the support vehicle as I have not had a chance to figure out why the 1800 refuses to run well when warm. Here are some photos from the morning gathering before the drive.

  12. Locally, Hoover at Turbohoses might be a good resource. He is in Livermore. If you already know what you want, finding a place that does exhaust for the 4x4 crowd is a good start. They know how to bend and tuck things as needed. If you do not plan on going out there and winning things, I would not worry about chasing the extra 2 HP by tuning the muffler location compared to the collector. That part might come later.
  13. The first 20 horse power is cheap, the next 2 is expensive
  14. A couple of cool articles Exhaust Header Theory and Proper Exhaust Tuning BURNSSTAINLESS.COM In order to explain the effect of exhaust tuning on performance, let’s take a quick look at the 4-stroke engine cycle. The first step in the 4-stroke process is the intake stroke. With the intake valve open, the piston travels down the cylinder pulling a fresh air and fuel mixture into the... Muffler Technology - Sound Measurement BURNSSTAINLESS.COM Muffler Technology – Part 1 Sound Measurement Over the past few years, as residential homes have been built closer and closer to race tracks, there has been a strong movement towards reducing the sound from race cars. At some tracks, such as Laguna Seca in California, the... There are a lot more interesting things to read there. I need to find an article explaining the distance from the collector to the expansion. That should allow some thoughts on the distance of the muffler/resonator from the collector.
  15. I highly recommend Burns Stainless Burns Stainless: Performance Exhaust, Collectors, Race Mufflers BURNSSTAINLESS.COM High Performance Stainless Steel Exhaust Parts. Burns Stainless offers exhaust parts, tubing... I ran their muffler on my race car and passed all sound limits including San Diego where they were a bit rediculous. You get to pick the internal diameter, external diameter, andlength. They are also serviceable and can be repacked. They are super light: 3 to 4 pounds. They are not cheap, but in this situation you get what you paid for. Our rules were that the exhaust has to exit behind the driver seat, so I ran the header to a short pipe to muffler, another short pipe and turn down right after the driver seat. I did not take it to the side. Steve K.

    Shamrock Rally

    This is a single-day Vintage Car Rally for 1975 or older sports-type vehicles. We also enjoy dull, drab, and just plain weird cars. This is a chance to free up those seized brakes and get your car ready for the driving season. If your vintage ride is disabled or newer than the 1975 rusty line in the sand, just let us know. The vintage cars do take priority. Meet up is at 8:30 AM and Tiferet by the Park coffee shop at 3020 H Street in Sacramento. There will be time for coffee, snacks, and schmoozing. Sign in, get a route and a sticker. Drive off will be around 9;30 AM. We are looking at 125 miles for this event. The rally will end at Red Bus Brewing, 802 Reading Street in Folsom.

  19. Thank you! I think I found it and fixed it. Was it after the Touring section?
  20. The user has been removed. If you can, please send a report in the future. Steve K.
  21. It is finally here. It took several months from the idea to the "print." I even accidentally published it once before it was completed. I hid the comments that were placed at that time as they are irrelevant anymore. If you still want your comment unhidden, please let me know. Thank you, @BritshIron and @02Les , for most of the work here. I was just an editor. Steve K.
  22. It is hard to believe that it is 02/02/0224. Because of all your help, we have survived for the last twenty two years and seem to be striving somewhat. Sometimes things are tough, but ingenuity keeps this site and our cars going strong. We are a couple of years older than Facebook and 8 years older than Instagram. We might not be as big, but that was my stupid idea to start a site that, at most, could bring together the owners of only about 350000 cars. Keep them going, and enjoy the ride! I sure do. To celebrate our twenty second revolution around the sun, I am setting the price for all T-Shirts to $22. Enjoy! And I added a new design, Racing Through the Streets. Steve K. You can find all our T-shirts at our Store Or pick them here
