Fall Fling 2008 Preview

I still have much post processing to to but I liked how this turned out…

Fall Fling 2008

Spring Fling 2008 pictures

Pictures from 2008’s Spring Fling Mopar car show in Van Nuys are up!

We only attended Saturday as the price of gas made this a one day event for us.  Although I didn’t have plans to buy anything, we found the exact tach I have been wanting; a discontinued Mallory Pro Tach 1 657 with built in rev limiter and shift light!

I got it for 65 which is a good price considering that it usually goes for over $40 + shipping on eBay for USED.

Photography at this event is harder than other car shows since the background is almost never clean (people walking around in back ground and reflections in cars paint).  I’m trying this new gallery feature with WordPress…

MATS – Mopar’s At the Strip 2008

My pictures are up, this year I shot in mostly RAW and spent about 2 hours in post processing, mostly experimenting.

This year was great! DynoMax was there with the dyno and I was able to get three runs in (two for me, one of my dad).  At the DynoMax Power to the Wheels dyno I witnessed a (roughly) 10% increase in horsepower and torque from last year’s self-destructing engine!

We stayed at Circus Circus this year and were satisfied with the room.  We were put into the Manor, actually the very farthest room from the main Circus Circus building.  Literally, the farthest possible, but the room was big and everything worked (mostly, shower drained slowly).

That’s all for now ^_^

Chrysler Magnum vs. LA Starters

Magnum starters are interchangeable with LA starters. Magnum’s up to 1998, after that they use a different electrical connection but otherwise the start is the same as the earlier Magnum starter.
