Jim, Will the car be shaken down in Europe or here in the US? (like maybe Monticello or NJMP ???)

I love the way the lights went out at the end to show the exhaust!! Jim, I saw another running of the program you were in on HD Theater about the Auto Union race car. I never followed up on it, was the car ever sold? What was questionable about it's history?

Is that snow in the background?? I didn't think that Marinello got cold enough for it?

Terry, my rule of thumb has been (for a new, never run car) to start with springs that give me a wheel rate value around 30-35%( formula cars will be higher) of the loaded wheel weight on the scales. "modern" GT1/Trans Am chassis these days are closer to 90-100% of the wheel weight, but for me...

The only issue to be mindful of when shopping for NASCAR brakes is the orientation of the caliper on the spindle. Most NASCAR chassis place the caliper on the leading face of the spindle(rear steer) and most of the roadrace cars I have delt with have them on the rear face(front steer). Where...

Russ, it is indeed great news that you are alright,although any fracture involving the neck or back have to labeled as serious. Cars can be fixed (although I will sometimes stubbornly wish to rather have a few stiches that heal in a week than have to repaint, or refabricate something for...

Russ, visualize it this way. make 2 1in by 1in squares of cardboard(to represent the shift yokes) draw in a channel 5/8in wide in both.place them on paper with 3 lines 1/4in apart(to represent neutral and engaged forward and back in the Albis dog conversion). As you slide one yoke 1/4in to the...

Hey guys, I'm not sure where to turn for this, so given the wide experience and demographics of this forum I will put it out here: I converted my 930 gearbox to dog change and have been sorting the many little teething issues that arise whenever you make something do something that it was not...

It looks like a DG-2. Was that the basis of the SLC?

By the time you add in the final drive numbers( like a 4.22 or numerically higher), The "overdrive" is not really that tall of a final ratio. "Overdrive" as you know it is just when a 5th or 6th gear is overdriven on the output so the final overall drive ratio is just taller( like changing a...

Hey, cut me some slack!!! "It's worth it" was what I ment Look at the time of my post!!! The caffeine did not have a chance to kick in yet!!

The Redline CV grease turned into a gray clay in 1 1/2 days at Watkins Glen. It's been almost 2 seasons without needing to touch them with the NEO(that's 15-20 days a year getting 2-3 hours of track time per day). The NEO is more $$$,but I feel worth it. Dave

These are like the ones I am using: Hewland Gearbox | Jerico Transmissions | Quaife Transmission | Tilton Clutch | Racing Driveline

Ron, I have an inverted 930 behind an LS6 in my Fiero GTU car and due to the length of the drivetrain and the shortness of the wheelbase,I had to run the axles "forward". The axles are at 12deg. I have been using the "uprated" CVs with the CroMo cage and clearanced housings(so they run cooler)...

Do you really need -10 fuel supply line? I would thing that -8 would suffice.........

What did you hold the fences to the body with? It looks like latex caulk?

I got the NEO from Hoerr Racing. HRPWorld.com Race Car Parts and Supplies I hope it works for you too!!

So the time came for the first rollout into sunlight as a complete car!! Seeing the car outside made all the late nights (very late nights),cost over runs( we all know about that), and assorted agony that goes with a project of this nature worth the trouble. I didn't make my deadline for the...

So down the home stretch as I was now bolting parts up for real this time! As everything was test fitted, building up the freshly painted/plated parts was like putting together a big model kit! It went from a bare frame with suspension hung to engine startup in 1 week!! Like I said , I was...

I remember reading how Corvette racers in the 70's needed to keep the stock trailing arms. However, they got around that by building an almost proper formula car suspension by adding links( additions are allowed as long as the original suspension is still "there") and removing the bushings from...
