I make much of my own stuff for axles and such, and if you look at the pieces that I posted a pic of, you will see that I don't tend to mess around when it comes to strength or cost. That said, you may want to reconsider the Empi stuff. I recommend their 4340 axles in street builds below 500 HP...

I have these in stock now, but can't advertise because of not being a vendor. I am also currently long term testing these on a Prototype race car and would not feel confident in "putting them out there" until after they have been successfully proven under the very stressful conditions of very...

I'm just kinda wondering.....what is the charity angle here? I mean this car is not going to be cheap to build, there are virtually no spectators at this event, and there is virtually no prize money awarded. If we all are lucky, then there may be some limited local TV coverage and possibly some...

I thought the "why test?" was a tongue in cheek question. Guess not. We are of the exact same opinion in the GTM camp. We will not run even a new part in a big race like the 25 without first testing it extensively. We are currently in 2nd place for the Western Endurance Racing...

Yeah, what's the date of the T Hill test? We'd love to know when you guys are gonna be running up there. :)

I don't work for Mendeola, and I have no contracts with them of any sort. They simply make the box that is in the car that I race....that someone else owns. I am relating my experiences I have had using the box, that's all. I get nothing out of these posts what so ever...besides some small...

Are you using the 33 spline ZR1? Probably going to migrate over to those hubs, but we have quite a few of the 5049s in stock now and are going to be using those for at least the next year or so. Anyway, if you are using the ZR1s, are they as durable as SKF claims they are?

No Mendeola option huh? We are using them in our GTM race cars and they are superb. They have taken serious abuse and just keep right on going. They are the new factory option from Factory Five Racing for the GTM kits. Very sturdy SDR for $7500. Don't know if they will be able to offer this...

Yes I do! All they want to do is go deep and bang the box hard!! :shocked:

I guess I should also add- do any of the kits on this forum use a Corvette upright/hub for suspension pieces?

Hey Fran, and others. I posted this in the drivetrain section but thought maybe I would call attention to it here also as you may have more of a need than others. No I am not a vendor here, so the details I can offer are understandably limited, but I have developed a stub axle that converts a...

I'm sure it will be. Next to our "workhorse" I'm sure it will make our car look like......well....a workhorse! :) Driver lineup for us is me(crash), Mad Dog Durbin(veteran GTMR 25er), Darrell Anderson(veteran GTMR 25er), and Max Hyatt from the GA and ALMS scenes. This Thunderchill 25 race is...

Hey all, No I am not a vendor here, so the details I can offer are understandably limited, but I have developed a stub axle that converts a Corvette hub, I am currently using SKF 5049s, to a Porsche 930 CV joint flange. This allows use of standard 28 spline axles at any length that is...

Hey all, I had a nice race with John in his #43 Petty car a couple weeks ago while I was testing for the 25 at Thunderhill and since the rumor is that there will be an SLC at that event, I just wanted to pop in and see how that was coming along? We're doing tire tests and sim time in the GTM...

To leave such a beautiful piece of machinery out to deteriorate like that.......well, THEIR the ones that should be shot! Unbelievable!

Just thought I would give a little update since we have been talking about shipping companies. My body was supposed to be on a truck yesterday. Yellow Roadway sent a truck with a 4 foot by 4 foot liftgate to pickup a 10 foot by 7 foot crate, which I declared in the contract. Idiots. I also...

Not much. This will be a ground up racer. Probably will even modify the body a bit to put it back to what the VBM (original platform for the GTM body) was. Access is really not very good the way it comes from FFR. I have built roughly 6 ground up cars so far, and have a Riley & Scott Trans Am...

Shipping Cos really piss me off sometimes. Last time I received something by truck they were 6 hours late, damaged my item, and dumped about a half a quart of oil out of their crappy truck onto my new driveway!! They should have called, but it could be worse. Make sure you inspect everything...

Actually I will be leaving it a two seater due to the fact that 1) the single seat setup limited the car to the "catch all" classes, and making it a two seater will open it up to about 6 other classes it can run in, and 2) we decided we REALLY need something we can take some guests in for rides...
