What's New
2005
1/23/05 House is settled in. Dee Dee is 31 weeks along and all is well. K-car of Doom (the Lebaron) sits in the 32x22 garage along with the van and Dee Dee's GEO happily. It has not seen any snow or salt yet. Cam swap and simple exhaust adjustments in future before track opens up.
SDAC-14 in Wisconsin/Illinois HERE
3/3/04 Oh, crap I forgot I still have a web page. Update the web page time. Anyone still check this page from time to time? Write me if you do jpc@wi.rr.com
Well I cleaned up most of the links in the "Links to Stuff" So I did my good deed for the day.
WHAT ELSE... OH Yeah..
Lots of nifty and cool new parts for the Lebaron from FWD Performance Im talking 50 trim T04E/T3 turbo, 3" stainless exhaust, Cometic gasket, etc. Flame throwers and other such devices are from another vendor.
3/30/03 I finally go around to creating my wheel stud install page. HERE
2/9/03 Minor news here: I'm getting Married on June 21st 2003, in Sussex WI. Demetria (Dee Dee) declined to have her picture on my page.

Most of the summer I spent working on this:
Don't get too excited, it's basically stock. However, a good upgrade from stock is the braided turbo lines, and the blue parker heater hoses. The Parker hose is techincally not heat rated for running coolant, but they can handle 250 psi and are not deteriorated by oil (hyrdrocarbons). The engine, after fixing a rod knock, started in mid October, and the hose has been fine since. Note the use of a -8 line clamp to hold the G-Valve on the throttle body.
6/20/02 Ok, new year and no updates - other than the fireworks pictures I added in earily March. I did go drag racing in earily April 14.0@101 at 18psi of boost - no traction. The girlfriend, Demetria, drove it to an astounding 15.5@96mph with me riding shotgun. he he... I should have some snap shots and video up sometime... Also I am in the process of replacing the engine/clutch and cleaning up my Shelby Z.
Here's a list of the changes to my K-car since:
FWD stage 5 ECU w/ 3 Bar map. (has cut out problem above 18psi, working on it)
RelentlessRacing adjustable cam sprocket
1/2 aluminum spacers for the M&H slicks.
8/3/01 HEY: I've come to realize that there are people out there
who
check
this page regularly. I am working on about 80 new pictures and a
couple of tech
articles. Plus I am adding a pyrotechnics section. So in a week or so it
should be done. The PGI convention is next week thus I will be gone all
of next week.
The Lebaron is sporting a new Stage III 0.63 A/R turbine housing and
2 probles in the exhaust manifold, long wheel studs and spacers for my
M&H 24.5x8.5x15 slicks. Only problem is it now has a dead spot around
3000-3500rpm, probably caused by the larger housing.
7/??/01 Took the Lebaron down to the track with Bob Cook and a coworker. Met some local mopar guys. All together it was a nice night, but durring the last run the head gasket decides to pop. I think the engine ran a bit too lean.
4/13/01 OK, I know it's been awhile. But it's Friday the 13th and Im
starting some new changes. A new website for the Lebaron may arise
soon. I am in process of adding some info from October to now. Check out
the pics from GLD's opening Day. It's just below.
3/31/01 With only street tires and way too much 110 octane I went to the
GROVE! Check out the pics and shot story HERE
This page has been and will continue to be constanly under procrastination.
