Hella makes good stuff, but I suspect the halogens are wimpy due to regulations on maximum wattage and lumen output. When you're shooting the low beam through the glass enclosure, then through a poly lens at a steep angle, it's going to do bad stuff with total output. Though there may not be a...

It may depend on your engine, but my LS3 crate motor had 4 steam ports from the factory, 2 of which were already plugged. I tied the two remaining together then teed those into a bleed line I'd routed from the top of my radiator, then all 3 into the top of my surge tank. The ports are all open...

lol, nice! Congrats!!

That’s great - really love to see the continued development from the factory! Are those the race balljoints? Fran - how about a conversion kit for us guys who have the older uprights? Could you make up a set of spacers for the rear? I jumped and picked up a set of the Dulaney adapters for...

Great stuff! I'm a big fan of the 2.8 rear vent. I attempted to make a "2.1 simple scoop cover" with an angle that matched the door but didn't have the mold making skills to do it justice. I struggled with how to shape the arch and tie the horizontal and vertical planes together. It also...

Congrats on first start Rich! Post up a video if you’ve got it!

I would suggest you plan out where and how you want your sound and heat shielding materials to be positioned and install them AFTER you’ve done the majority of building in each particular area. It’s a PITA to be cleaning your drills and taps if you have to go through that material. You might...

I can confirm if you follow the mastercool instructions and stop at the line, that you will absolutely have a leak. I turned it about 1/4-1/2 turn past the line, not all the way down. After troubleshooting, I had to go back and re-crimp 100% of my lines due to following the instructions, super...

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Howard had some recent brake issues he thought might be attributed to uneven cooling of his front rotors. I think Ken mentioned something about best practices with regard to directing the cooling airflow (into the vanes between the inboard/outboard rotor faces as opposed to right on the inboard...

Granville's got the latest rod ends supplied in the SLC builds. I've heard his video, it's most definitely not a lubrication issue. Sounds like a loose fastener somewhere in the system.

I believe the fronts came in either 9.5 or 10" wide, it was dependent upon whatever availability they had at the time of ordering. No actual fact to back that up other than grapevine and that the site lists 9.5/10" for fronts: http://www.superlitecars.com/wheels-and-tires I recall measuring...

Maybe a stupid question on my part, what's the benefit of going to these other calipers? If it's more braking power/less leg effort you're looking for, have you considered changing your master cylinder bore sizes?

Hmm ... perhaps completed and built by Allan. Not sure I would call it “well sorted”. With fewer than 100 miles I’m willing to bet a powertrain that extreme has several gremlins just itching to pop up.

I've seen these 2 listed in the past month or so, still available as far as I know: Young Le - Dusty's old car Dani G - BMW V10 engine

I've been so busy lately with Life that I've not been able to get very much driving in with the SLC. Last week I went to the local Cars & Coffee (same one that was a total bust last time) and we had the biggest turn-out ever, about 20 cars! ;) I'm hoping that by bringing the SLC to our local...

A good number of folks are going with electric actuators for their doors - so I’d put out a request to one of those builders as they’re likely not using their latches. I’d also try reaching out to Allan, he may be sitting on a stockpile of them if his clients didn’t want those as shelf ornaments.

I'm with American Modern. I have a fairly generous mileage limit which I won't ever exceed and I can use my car for any purpose other than drive it on a race track. My yearly coverage for an agreed upon value is on par/slightly below what I pay for my Audi.

The pedal pads can be moved left/right; check to see that your gas and brake pedals are set at their widest setting if they aren't already.

I'll bet the Audi feels super squishy and numb in comparison!
