Is the car cover indoor only, outdoor, or both? How much do you want for it?

ROFL

Hello, and welcome to the most amazing XLR Site on the planet! The cars bring us, the camaraderie keeps us sane ( well most of us). :) Really?....

I prefer to autocross top down. My helmet forces me to lower the seat with the top up and my sight lines are reduced. If I autocross top down, I can raise the seat and see over the side mirrors vastly improving my ability to setup for "back-ending" the cones. Unfortunately, we autocross rain...

The roll bars are fixed. If you look close at the pics below you can see that they are welded to the upper crossbar behind the seats which, in turn, is welded to the side frame rail as well as the center lower support.

This was OmegaMotorsports first Midwest 1/2 mile event. The runway was still wet in some spots when I arrived. Did a quick walkthru and decided the runway surface was too rough for ELWOOD and the tires I had mounted. Because this was a new event for the area there were less than 100...

Yeah, I rolled thru for an hour Saturday morning on my way to a racing event in Rantoul. When I left around 11AM they were just starting to park Vettes in our usual spot. Event seems less crowded than usual. Speedy recovery my friend. PJ and I will keep you in our prayers.

Actually the whole thing needs to be redesigned! Its a push and pull system, twisted cable in shield. There are only 5 wires in the twisted cable and where they connect to the shifter there is a moment exerted on the grommet connector (guaranteed failure at some time). I briefly looked into...

I had something similar happen last month after my battery died a couple times. Replaced the battery, and a week later it cranks but won't start. Took it to my "Team Elwood" supporting dealership and they diagnosed and fixed it the next day. From my invoice: You might want to have your...

Great post! For a moment there I thought you were going to say the bolts were fused in the spring. Unfortunately, if that happens the whole spring has to be replaced. A couple years ago when I upgraded Elwood's springs and sway bars I had a friend give me some great advice on finding the...

I gotta pull over... someone just poked me in the eye As if these cars didn't already have enough computers, I added my windows Tablet. Comes with an 8" screen that clips over the nav screen, 2Terabite storage, full time internet, OBDII, HP Tuner Pro with 5 tunes from full race (109 octane...

Probably not. Yes.

I consider my dealership as part of TEAM ELWOOD so I gave them some pics of Elwood that they have in the service area. A couple years ago they went thru a remodel of the dealership and I asked them for all the pics/lithos/etc. of any V they had - was able to get three of the lithos and a bunch...

I have the Schumacher SE-1-12S and love it. It is installed beside the battery and my 120V AC plug is hidden but accessible without opening the car or hood. I went this route because I do my mods over the winter and there's no telling where the car may be - a shop here in town, FL, TX, CA...

From the event organizer:

I hate to say it, but these need to be added to the registry. I captured some of the data from the eBay ad of the first one: :pukeface:

I can only recall one XLR over the last five years on the forum that had to replace head gaskets. Seeing as my max boost is over 25psi and I haven't blown the heads off yet,I'd say its fixed on our cars for sure.

Interestingly, D3 documentation is never available when asked, .... hmmmmm. My challenge stands unanswered for the third year - race me, show me documentation from a sanction racing organization, or SHUT THE HELL UP! Actually, I did get my answer: D3 has removed all claims to creating the...

I've always liked your purely scientific analyses! Keep up the great blogging!

When I started modifying my motor, I considered adding one. But we tear down the supercharger and throttle body every winter and even with my 26psi boost the first year, there is very, very little oil backing up from the PVC. The second year, we backed down the boost to 18psi and the SC was...
