Those are great trailers. I raced out of an ATC trailer and it was a dream to tow, and a great place to be while at the track. Mine had AC, a viewing deck, etc.

Is the CARB number valid when you change the engine config, as with reversing the intake, for example? That's the kind of detail I would want to be resolved before using my water-cooled credit card for a new engine.

As a quality data point, the stock stub axles are made by The Driveshaft Shop and are of 300M.

I've always wondered how careful inspectors are with the whole E-Rod thing. Does the fact that you reverse the intake manifold invalidate the cert since it wasn't as delivered? Are you supposed to use the factory intake? And I thought the package had a specific exhaust that had to be used...

Bondo? That can be sanded and primed to give a good surface to adhere to more double-stick tape.

The standard wiper motor is indeed a marine setup. It has two speeds, and no delay- as is typical for any motor. Any delay logic is part of the harness. The default harness never had a delay function (for either the SLC or GTR), so adding it would be something you'd have to do on your own. This...

You just need a regular wiper switch. There's a Painless switch that I'm using in my car - here's a link. The switch comes with a wiring diagram. It's simple to wire, but if you get stuck, PM me.

THere is a nice writeup on the wiki- check it out: Ball Joints

I drove my car on the Hot Rod Power Tour this year. Around 1300 (?) miles in a week. Great on woman-smooth roads, noisy on ground concrete roads with expansion joints. Tillet B5s very comfortable on long trips, AC works well even in very hot and humid conditions with traffic jams. Opening...

The fender vents are for downforce- they allow high-pressure air in the wheelwells to be expelled, and at the top of the car. I don't understand your reference to the straight at COTA- presumably you are asking about the drag/downforce compromise here? If so, a typical race car run by a good...

And optimum setup is different for every track. But starting out with the above as a baseline gets you in the right universe. You can start tuning when you are comfortable with the car.

Any street-capable car won't be very good on the track, and vice-versa. But having said that, assuming you are going with the standard suspension (as opposed to the race arms and uprights), here are what I would start with for a track-focused car that sees occasional street use: Factory front...

He's building a GTM.

I'd add that there has been CFD work on the factory 01 SLC race car, but those were largely to gain downforce, not improve cooling, which wasn't a problem on track.

I've followed your build on the other forums- it's a remarkable car you are making! Everyone will have an opinion about this, so here's mine: the SLC is designed to look like a Group C or IMSA GTP car. Those cars tended to have an outlet like the SLC. That outlet size worked for engines making...

Note that on the SLC, as opposed to other similar cars, the rear cannot open unless the doors are open. The risk of the rear clam suddenly flying open is vanishingly small. This is a careful design choice by Superlite, which also has the secondary benefit of fewer shut-lines.

On the SLC, we adjust bump steer with correctly-sized spacers at the tie-rod ends. Every car is different, and often each corner needs a slightly different height spacer- as my car did. That's why there isn't a generic kit; those are too imprecise in any case. It's easy to setup the car for...

At long last, the official Superlite emblems are in! They are available in 3 variants: red, blue, and silver. See the pictures below for closeups. The emblems can be obtained from the Superlite factory by calling the main number (586-329-1573) where Vicki can help you. They...

Thanks for the clarification. The text says "SL-Cs are also available in Canada, and can be shipped from Ontario". " Importation is made easier since the bodies themselves are actually made in Canada. But there are no dealers or distributors in Canada, or anywhere else at the moment.

Where did you read that there was a Canadian distributor? The Superlite web page doesn't say that as far as I can see. Can you show a link? I'd like to fix that if I missed it. BTW, the FAQs are updated when there is new info. We recently went through a minor change at the beginning of the year.
