Does anyone have any experience with running opposed piston calipers on a solid rear axle with c-clip retainers? I'm worried about knock back being too much of a problem since I'm already getting it with the stock floating calipers. My differential uses the play of the rear axles to help...

just read this, looks like this might be a great engine choice for a SL-C or GT40 project. Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a track-day weapon with 500+ hp [w/video] - Autoblog

Dual masters is completely superior in every way, though, converting my car to one of those setups is not something I want to tackle... not on this car at least. But, by researching my issue and really studying how these master cylinders work, i think i can improve the current system quite a...

I have a new master on order; but if you look at a diagram of a dual circuit master cylinder, you will noticed that even though the front and rear circuits are independent, the pistons that drive the fluid to them are not. From this diagram, you can see if the piston toward the front of the...

I was wondering if someone could educate me a little bit on adding a adjustable proportioning valve to a standard dual circuit tandem piston master cylinder. I have had a wilwood adjustable proportioning valve on my race car for many years and have noticed that when i adjust the bias more to...

From some of the research I have been doing, i found that the panhard bar height (and thus roll center height) are very high in the stock position. It looks like there can be a jacking effect in right hand turns due to the panhard chassis mount being on the right hand side, and the left side of...

I can assure you, that transmission is not cheap! Also, forgot about frans apex. That does seem to be a car appropriate of daily driving.

For a daily driver, the BRZ might be fun. I like the idea of this supercharger kit for it: Innovate Motorsports Twin Screw Supercharger System Stage 1 Tuner Subaru BRZ 2013-2014 / Scion FR-S 2013-2014 6010 at RallySportDirect.com But, i dont think Fran makes any practical or cars meant for...

I cannot put a 7 liter v8 in a BRZ. Please refer to the Panzo GT1 for reference to what I'm imagining... A modern thoroughbred front engine race car.... Astons, Jags and all them are focused on luxury first and performance second. It seems like frans SL-C is the other way around. It would be...

I have to second the Panoz GT1 idea from a few pages ago. I guess it doesnt really have to be a GT1, but something in the same vein as Frans SL-C, but front engine. Maybe it would look kinda like the Panoz or Lister Storm. Theres so many great and affordable v8's and transmissions around that...

Jac, My setup is pretty much the same as that. I also have the battery in the rear right corner.

I have a lsd. Brand new too. I think the issue might be what jim suggested or I have too much rear swaybar.

I have the cross weights to 50-50 now, but I was a little worried about the amount of weight on the left rear. I guess I'll take it like this and see how it goes.

My car tends to spin the inner rear tire when coming out of right hand corners; I'm wondering if changing the loading on the rear tires might help the situation. Most resources on this topic here in america talk about this in dirt circle track cars that only turn left and have staggered rear...

I think Fran needs to send Mr. Sutcliffe a fully set up SL-C...

All of these concepts look great, but i wonder if they could be made into a real car and still look as good as the concept. Real cars have to have real tire sizes and ride higher than .5"...

Just ordered myself one of TCI's rattler dampers and probably should have made this post before I did, but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experiences with them they would like share. I contacted TCI's tech support before ordering because they make 2 different sizes for my...

For a street car, i think i would be OK with the one roll bar behind the driver. Is that bar triangulated like the one in the link?

Whats the solution? Getting a 3 wheel bender to make a properly radius one? Or not running the front bar at all?

Frank, how tall are you? I wonder if at 6' tall i would be able to fit in such a car...
