    BS on changing tire alignment specs from stock.

    I imagine you set your timing at 7-8deg advanced and your carb a bit on the rich side as well.

    Which headers fit the bill?

    I see TTI recommended a lot. What makes them the best?

    Car shipping

    I'm not gonna lie, it's a lot of fun. I drove it to work one day so had a good day of seat time. I got home and decided to run an errand in my 69 charger 383 car. Part way down the road I was trying to diagnose why it wasn't running right. Finally realized it was running like it always had. I'd...

    Car shipping

    It's not a cool old car. It was my hellcat challenger. Shipping cost was less than a plane ticket gas and a hotel would have been for me to drive it back.

    Car shipping

    Just to follow up on all this. I used Montway to ship the car. Money went through a 3rd party escrow. When the hauler confirmed they had the car loaded I told escrow to release the cash. Worked great and I had the car on my doorstep 2 days later.

    Start 'em young

    My kids come hang out with me in the garage since they could walk. They're 2 and 3 now. They love to empty my bolt bins onto the floor. They also like to play with my tools. Of course they love to go for rides too. It's the best annoyance in the garage a dad could ask for.

    Youngest mopar owners

    I think they exist but are getting harder to find because they're priced out. Myself I'm 38.

    Do you guys think these wheels and tires will fit?

    the diameter will make them interfere with stuff. The widths and backspace are fine but the sidewall is too tall.

    69 Charger on the autocross

    You absolutely should! It's ridiculously fun and it's not terribly expensive or hard to get your car set up pretty well. Not that it matters what others think but there is a certain appreciation for someone going out and slinging around an old car that "doesn't handle."

    E body vs B body R/T

    General discussion topic as I genuinely don't know the answer. In B bodies, to have an R/T required you to have a 440 or 426 hemi. In e bodies it seems basically anything except a 318 or /6 can be an R/T. Most commonly 383's as the non-440/426 option but even a 340 could be optioned in an...

    69 Charger on the autocross

    Yep 50's. I wanted the shorter sidewall. These are basically the same diameter of my previous 245/60-14.

    69 Charger on the autocross

    Yep and it seems to be holding fine. Front and rear are both 275/50-15 nitto 555r2's.

    69 Charger on the autocross

    Already done. That's what I'm saying. Less than $1000 in bolt on parts to a 69 charger (and maybe or maybe not tires) and you will outrun a hellcat at least on the autocross. I'd love to run both my cars at the same event but I don't think it's possible.

    69 Charger on the autocross

    I'm sure the hellcat gives up about 700-800lbs. Tires are also all season. I meant to weigh it today but didn't have time to stop at the scale. The challenger also has 2x the hp. If I was to put all seasons on my charger again I'm not convinced the hellcat could beat the charger still. It'd be...

    69 Charger on the autocross

    Final autocross of the season was today and I did something a little different. The last few autocrosses a supercharged non-hellcat challenger and a hellcat redeye have been coming. Both are relatively new and I have been consistently beating both in my 69 charger by about .5-1.0 seconds. So...

    1969/2023 challenger

    A member here did it with a 71 road runner. Video on YouTube. Anything can fit with the right fabrication skills.

    Suggestions for front end/steering upgrades on a budget?

    All new bushings in the front end then an alignment helps a ton. From there I'd get a bigger sway bar. You didn't say what you wanted in end use so I'm assuming a nice cruiser. I would not change the torsion bars or leaf springs for bigger and heavier ones.

    Well my turn on the tow rope of shame.

    Had a good time at the autocross today. But when I went to go home she cranked kinda slow and didn't start. Begged a jump from someone and still cranked very slow eventually not cranking at all. What the heck? Checked my grounds and they were good. Tapped on the starter while someone else...

    I trust this forum more than the wheel fitment guide on a website

    I've heard that too. I think people that say they can feel it is because the have hashed out suspension components that wiggle all over. I'm running 275/50-15 on the front of my 69 charger, with all new bushings, and it drives fine.
