    Steel vs aluminium flywheel - what do you run?

    If it’s going to be a street driver, I strongly recommend a steel flywheel, you won’t go through as many clutch’s and with everyone watching stalling is quite embarrassing.

    Jim Craik here in Los Gatos CA, Frances and I are doing well, staying inside until it’s safe. This virus is nasty, I lost my best friend growing up, Doug Goode, he was driving Uber in Silicon Valley, died a couple weeks ago. Be safe out there, it’s a nasty way to go.

Ours is fairly high miles, but I strongly suggest checking and perhaps adding protection to this area. It’s a cheap part but a...

    Shelby shenanigans

    Went by the Shelby “museum” in Las Vegas over Christmas, got this nice poster. It’s really more of a Shelby outlet than Museum, everything was for sale, but nice new cars to look at... I was very disappointed to hear the Shelby docent comple with black cowboy hat and drawl tell the visitors...

    Hi Doug, how have you been? The MKIII side windows did not roll down, they only pop out.

    MK1 vs Mk2 body kits

    it’s basically owner preference, the MKI has a pleasing shape with all the right curves. The MKII has much more of a race car look with purposeful lines and more pronounced air scoops.
