A large damper pulley allows the option of running a larger blower pulley, which will make for lower traction demand on that pulley. This makes it less likely the belt will slip. Unfortunately, this also increases the belt speed which relates to the following paragraph. Nice to be able to find...

There's a Ducati 916 missing it's mufflers somewhere in JP's neighborhood ! ;)

Simple cure for the seemingly perpetually leaking Ram Pro Lift Pump? Challenge - Many of us have come to be frustrated a what appears to be a leaking Ram Pro pump. Many have tightened, sealed and rechecked all fittings multiple times only to have the same result - a perpetually 'wet' pump and...

Hey Cliff welcome back! Thanks for posting, and I'm sure all will be pleased to hear from you. So sorry to hear you had to go through all of this devoid of much visitation, that had to make things even tougher. All the best man, all the best.

Hey Troy, Didn't you build a Toyota based Mini Cooper or something? If I have the right guy would you mind posting some shots of the car finished (are pics posted elsewhere)? Thanks Nice components on your SLC, all the best finding the right buyer.

Is there an issue with the current iteration?

Good to see your car is 'finished', sorry to see that you are selling it so quickly. All the best,

(In my case) Proof of concept was made from the thickest run-of-the-mill plywood sheet I could find at Lowes. The actual finished discs will be made from 1"+ marine grade hardwood ply, I'll laminate up from there if needed. The car weights 1,400.

LOL Too funny. I made the same discs for my track car as the storage wheels, it also raises it up a little which makes it easier to roll onto a trailer. Must be the local water.

Dusty Somehow I managed not to engage your thread, nice to see Earl's car in good hands. I have not had a chance to catch up on all the reading but did want to mention I located a tight 90 degree thermo housing if you still need a reference. Also, are you using the ePowersteering unit? As much...

Thanks Joel for taking us all along for the ride, excellent communication and very informative.

Did that article say he is looking to get 650K for one of his cars?! If true, good luck with that. He compares the F5000 car as too expensive, hell you could buy just about ANY car on an F5000 vintage grid for less than that. In most cases WAY less than that.

Fricken Scott.. You know kids are going to have posters of your work on their bedroom walls :)

Nice. What number are you going to stick on those "big'a-spicy-meatball'as "?

The front lift cylinders were leaking pretty good when the car was in the up position for any length of time. A call to Ram Lift procured a rebuild 'kit' of the four needed seals. Somehow I felt the need to run around local tool supply stores to see if a proper tool could be found which would...

Nice improvement. It seems early Mclaren can-am cars had an unusual/unnecessary amount of wheel arch above the tire. This was not only in the opening as you have addressed but, in the arch of the fender itself. IIRC Penske additionally shaved down the top of their fenders, which made the front...

That Patrese one is a classic.

Hector, Have you already confirmed the bottom of the chassis is level (left to right) with the garage floor (?) From the sound of it your (oh, sorry, looks like Ken said that) front floor side plates were not attached the the footbox upon arrival. I would imagine you would be able to see that...

While not a huge Hammy fan, you gotta give the man credit for his ability to maximize the performance of his car, make passes from the back and manage tires. His racecraft is MILES ahead of his teammate. I like Bottas, wish he was more competitive but unfortunately he has a habit of making...
