    Hello all! I just found out about this site and joined. Once I get used to it all, I have a question or two about my project LeBaron., a.k.a. the Clown Car

    We already have a Clown Car... You could be the Joker!, it would go with the BatVan.

    Oh man, don't let poopshovel learn you have a LeBaron. If you see a guy skulking in your yard with a pair of bull horns, a NOS bottle and a cigarette lighter, call the cops!

    Or grab a beer, make Mikey a vodka tonic, and sit back and enjoy.

    Suite! I dig the 'pizza' wheels. I saw the details in your profile, including the fuel delivery issue. I'm NO expert on TD's, but I've listened to the guys who are. Bill Cuttita or Barry Miles (or perhaps a combination of the two) have written at least one TD article in GRM. Apparently fuel system issues are pretty common in TDs, and it was suggested in the article to go through the entire fuel system; lines, filter, etc. Welcome to the board.

    Thanks, again!! I will search around and if I can't find what I need, I will ask the questions. I think it may be the pump (although new) but I need to prove a few things out first.

    Thanks again all for the welcomes!

    Hey if turbos can make a Dodge Caravan a 10 second ride, there's hope for a flea-baron, too.

    So just how many clowns can you fit in there?

  • Bozo

    Dec. 10, 2008 2:55 p.m. Bozo New Reader

    I only know one and that's me...so the correct answer is one.

    Have you learned nothing? The correct answer is ALWAYS Miata!

    Some people just don't listen.

    Nice welcome you get around here. "I have a LeBaron!" "Yeah, well, here's one we set on fire!"

    If you can deal with that, you'll fit right in.

    I'm thinking sleeper. Keep the exterior and interior as stock as possible and boost the everloving crap out of it! +1 for the phone dialer rims, too!

    Welcome aboard, matey!

    Or you could swap an entire Nissan drivetrain into your clown car.

    Welcome to the board.

    That was really funny!

    Welcome aboard, but stay away from the publisher- he's a douchey poseur. And if his wife invites you over to see the new patio, run away. Quickly and far.

    First, Welcome.

    I would bet that all this clown talk has you a bit confused. Here is some background http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/who-is-this-masked-rac...

    The Clown (guido) is/was rather outspoken around here.
