Yeah this is clearly the real /ccg/
My nephew is an aerospace engineer and says that he can make a fiberglass hatch for the lemons Camaro, I've been fucking around in automation and beamng and I really think a wing will help oversteer under braking. This has to be a pretty high rake to be effective, would fiberglass hold up to this?
>>28188967Since we have literally 3 more decades of classic at this point you should call these things retro cars, antiques, yard ornaments.
>>28189832add boner killers to your list
>>28189820Depends on the speeds you'll be doing, but my guess it probably not, unless the fibreglass had some kind of strengthening braces build into it. I suppose you could also make some metal supports on the inside like the Superbird/Daytona did.
>>28189207I would legit daily this now and love it.
>>28189873Same. You just know some faggot in a Tesla resides there now.
>>2818985250-70mph. The whole track is basically corners.
>>28189929https://occamsracers.com/2021/02/05/calculating-wing-downforce/Here's an equation that'll give you an idea of how much extra weight your trunk lid will be subjected to. Just remember that the force generated by the wing will be pushing solely on where it's mounted to, and not evenly distributed across the entire trunk. The smaller the contact patch, the easier it will be for the wing to push through.
>>28189991If we do a trunk delete panel we have the structure and space to do basically whatever we want for support directly under the wing. Shouldn't need much for ~100lbs
>>28190070Fair.

>>28190070How much all in do you think you'll be spending on your lemons race? My buddy wants to do it, but I think they're underestimating how expensive it's going to be.
>>28188967Based bread
>>28190340ive been told you'll be spending $5k to go to your first race, car, safety equipment, entry fee, and 4 drivers, you can spend more depending on how hard you want to cheatan autocross worthy car can be put together for $3k, most local sanctioning bodies only require a helmet, there usually aren't any walls to hit this started about a year ago when i got a riced 4g eclipse from an estate and my brother wanted to race it, ive always wanted to go racing, the car was dogshit though so i took everyone to NCM last Christmas and rented C8's on track and everyone loved it. Bought the mustang to do autocross this year and realized hearding cats to multiple weekend events for limited seat time was not going to work out and it was easier organize a single event in a single location with lots of track time. the car sucks, it especially sucks for the track we're going to, its heavy, no brakes, can't turn, and it will be thirsty and we risk overheating, but it wouldn't be in the lemons spirit if we went out and spent $3000 on tires and brakes. plus i wouldn't be happy if my retarded brother or the z-tard puts $3000 of car into a wall
>>28189832>yard ornamentsnigger
some drama unfolding with Pro Machine here in BG. ztard got his Z running for about 30 seconds, did a fluid check and there's water pouring down the side of the block. did a point to point surface reference check with my scale balance and both the head and block are anything but flat. ordered a real straight edge that'll be here monday, these fags wanted $800 to install cam bearings in my 302 and ztard spent thousands getting this engine ran through, i'd love to sue another group of fags who cant do their job. literally no one in this town, state, or within 500 fucking miles can do their fucking job.

>>28192103How did you find that?
>>28192114Looks bad but I walked away with all my teeth >>28192159The subframe took the brunt of it. Timing cover and oil pan cracked. I'll have to have the cab pulled so I can replace the floor and firewall

>>28193738If you look closely, one of the bolts holding the valvetrain tube in place has completely backed out.All of the bolts were completely loose and the only thing holding the whole tube in place were the 2 headbolts at the ends.Dunno how that happened, but here we are.Also on the same note, anyone got any good tips on locking bolts into place?I have an issue on my bikes where the crankshaft front bearing basket bolts that also hold an oil plate in place tend to back out after a while and come loose, they then hit the crank timing wheel and shear.I've tried those star shaped locking washers, I've tried thread locker, nothing really works.The other bike I have is a military model and in that one the bolts were all drilled and locked into place with safety wire that was wired into the block.If all else fails, I'll just get one of those safety wire jigs and start drilling new bolts, seems like the best option in my opinion anyway.
>>28194128>anyone got any good tips on locking bolts into place?Lock washers or safety wire
>>28194109>post ending in 109yup, that confirms that facebook is jewish
didnt know if this th350 had ever been used or not and didnt want to buy bushings if i didnt need em. read the output shaft bushing is the first to go, and here it is. Everyone seems to have this T-0220-39 driver set stocked but i see people complain it explicitly does not fit th350 bushings, anyone have a better kit?
>>28194224Tried lockwashers, they didn't help.
>>28194128Nordlock washers
>>28194310Then it's gonna be thread locker and correct spec torque setting.
>>28194310nordlocks are great >>28194325not cheap though.
>>28195228true, out of all the tests I've seen its either nordlocks or spring washers with locktite

kek, the buttblasted NIGGER is doing it again
>>28196144your mom likes to be referred to by proper nouns, like "Jannet", or even "her". you're going to be grounded if you keep calling her "it"
i bushwhacked your mom with my cock
>>28195629im grateful we dont have to deal with salt. but i do park mine outside on the driveway etc. and have no qualms about driving it in the wet etc.
>>28195758you have to be 18 to post here
>>28196186it's not cool to say urmom niggerdick in any context faggot
>>28195748You know it, driving with God on my side!>>28196267Lucky not to have salt. I don't really take mine out in the rain but I also am not the type to be anal about checking the weather. If it's a sunny day and it MIGHT rain I still take it out. Same can't be said for lots of the boomers I see at these meets.All of these guys left this show when it was barely a sun shower that ended in 15 minutes
>>28196360Bethel Park?
>>28196360every piece of weatherstripping on my car is BTFO so i can't really drive it in the rain. replacement kit is $2200 so that's not happening any time soon
>>28196360i did find out it has a pretty moderate windscreen leak, and a small leak in the trunk kek. it's not a showroom condition car by any means so i'm honestly not really bothered. i think for the trunk leak i'm just gonna get a funnel, a magnet or two and hose just to route any water that gets in through to the drains lol
>>28195629Ironically, if California used salt, he probably would have been fine
>>28196426Good to know I can take my car to caliwali and not have it rust from the inside out in winter driving.
>>28196405if it even fits, and then have fun getting that $2200 back >>28196337its actually the only cool thing to say on this board
>>28197042shitpenis isnt funny, you've been brainwashed
>replace passenger front wheel bearing on my crossover>now the driver side brake piston sticks and heats up the hub>bleed screw snaps when trying to work it openIt just keeps happening. On my other cars I usually smear the thread with copper paste and smack a handful of grease on the screw itself when in the caliper to protect it against the elements, but fuck me no one else thinks about doing this.Also why the hell the only bleed thread repair kits easily available in Europe are imperial size?Metric taps are dime a dozen here, imperial taps are like 30 bucks a piece and no one really stocks them.
>>28197106fuck, meant catpenis stupid autocorrect

>>28196370Close, you'll see me around at meets this summer. Ask if I like Bananas Foster and I'll know it's you.>>28196419Hey, if it works, it works. My car is on the high end of driver quality but not quite showroom or anything. I spilled some distilled water in the trunk and was originally concerned it was a leak.>>28196405Damn, I do feel that though. My weatherstripping on the passenger side was a little off, so I replaced it and re-tracked the glass. It was only off because I'm a retard and needed a guy to pop the lock because I locked my keys in the car. Could still drive in the rain but car washes were annoying.
>>28197265>Ask if I like Bananas Foster and I'll know it's you.Ah nah I just have family there. It looked familiar, so had to see if I was close in guessing.
pulled the pud of another chud in the pontiac today
>>28197200wait what, so are metric or imperial kits hard to find?
>>28197331
>>28197331>smoked another BBC
>>28197687Well you'd think that in yurop metric kits would be easier to find, yet the only ones I could find after a lot of digging were imperial ones and they're not exactly common either, a lot of them are just imported from the US.Basically neither are easy to find, I hate it here, it seems everything in the US is just one autozone away.
>>28192103First time on ccg in months and the first thing I see is lm7 crashing. It was inevitable I guess, Minimum of 15k in repair parts if he didnt tweak the body and completely total it (he probably did)

Attempting to pull the engine out of the 500, but the fucking thing is putting up a good fight.
>>28200775It's stuck on the left hand side and I can't see where it would still be attached. All the bolts have been removed, but it still seems jammed on there, and tapping with a mallet hasn't jostled it loose yet. Trying to avoid using a pry bar, but I think I'm running out of options now. Jerry has chosen violence.
>>28200775>>28200779havin a good snow day over there?
Got the bastard out, but he put up a good fight. Tempted to put in 650 barrels and pistons, but at that point I might as well do a full rebuild, sooooo... yeah. Not sure how far I want to take this, yet.>>28200958Oddly enough, no, we had one day of it on Sunday, but since then it's just been cold and icy, no snow to speak of.
i got the 305 i got from the ztard apart, it looks fucking great inside, this was definitely a low mile original car before the previous owner got it. the original paper valve cover gaskets were crammed into the oil drains. non-aux valve body 700r4 with no tv cable hooked up to it, i say the retard didn't even drive it after putting the carb on itill slap it back together with a $50 gasket set and call it lemons ready
