May be a simple problem that I am not realizing the answer for. For our metric system based members. I have recently acquired a track car that was built in Germany. It has a BMW engine and I imagine all the accessory components are metric fittings (oil coolers, oil filter housings, engine...

The Bennett brothers normally drive those cars. One of them blew over at Laguna Pre-Historics (last year?) with the driver (not to mention the car) had some period of recovery time. Jim Pace is a vastly experienced Can-Am car pilot, it's kind of odd that HE would draft up that straight knowing...

My niece told me some stories at my Dad's services, that some of the best times she spent with my father were when he was hands-on teaching her how to maintain a car. Those lessons on 'how to fish' stayed with and served her well. I was astonished when I found out she was once stranded on...

The horizontal area of the front of the door is notoriously tight, with most having the seal getting rolled off the door when closing. Another issue is the inconsistency of door seal area gap, which makes it a real challenge to find ONE size seal to be used all the way around the door.

Congrats! Agreed, temp spikes sound like air entrapment. Although in my case it usually shows up as a false low temp spike. I see that you have your weatherstrip on the body itself rather than the door. How is this strategy working out? Leaks? Are you able to attain good door gaps particularly...

Don't make fun of it? Seriously? You're taking all the enjoyment out of this forum :p I like the sound. People ask me why I don't have a sound system in my car - but I DO, it's right behind my head.

I used a band saw with a good blade, followed by a bench top disc sander to square it up for a similar task. Fairly fast and easy.

I would say NO. But give us the scoop Campbell.......

It can be if they run a virtual race ;) You've got to give it to Jim, he puts his money where his heart is. Respect.

If you don't already have the rod ends then you can decide for yourself whether you make them 'turnbuckle' style or not. I would chose left and right if building form scratch.

LOL, I was thinking if your wife saw that, ONE of you would be moving! Bonus points awarded for the trailer hitch.

Another consideration is whether you plan to look over the wing or under it, as far as being able to see anything in the view mirrors. If you run the Dumbo mirror location you can't put the wing very high I'd imagine. If you run lower mirrors then you need to make sure you have it high enough to...

in The Library of Congress Ironically I had just watched this independent of Howard's post. Great stuff.

Ed, Call Will, I'm sure he has the details.

PM sent to you Troy

So the SpeedHut stuff is NOT a Centroid manufactured part and proven reliable? Then maybe that is what I need. Thanks

Jerry, Thanks for the information. The replacement sender I am currently using is from the boat world and honestly I don't think the resolution is what it needs to be. BUT at least it functions the same way every time. My issue now is that as the fuel gets to the last 5 gallons the gauge reads...

AND it is in my 'hood'. I'll try and stay out of his way, in a straight line at least! Bonus! I get to see some of your work Chris.

I hope others have better luck with their centroids than I did, mine would consistently fail to hold the calibration settings. I bought a second one in hopes my experience was a fluke, unfortunately it wasn't. Preferably the one they sell now (if any different) is a whole lot more reliable. I...

Well look at that.... Nils, Iv'e never seen a picture of an Audi powered SLC, thanks! Being an Audi fan (S8 and TT) I guess I'll go looking for build information on your car now (IF that is a picture of your car. Have anymore pictures? Fred are you in the US? Not so much BODY modifications...
