    Balancing wheels with weights

    That's usually the best idea - it took the tire shop almost an hour to find the most ideal place to mount the tire on the rim on one of my 345/15s .... when we started it wanted about 40 wheel weights, lol (we ended up only needing about 4 on one and 0 on the other side)

    Bellcrank reinforcement plate ideas.

    I think the only failures were the original design that was replaced long time ago?

    Are there actually any new Ricardos? I know a lot are selling them as brand new, but I think most/all are/were DAB-rebuilds.

    Porsch transaxle oil leaking from outlet plug

    I ran into the same problem https://www.gt40s.com/threads/930-transaxle-puking-fluid.51000/ Basically what I did to solve it was I put an AN fitting into the vent hole, then ran a -8 hose straight up to the roll cage (i..e, high point above transaxle) and jammed the vent fitting onto the hose...

    Getting Closer

    after over a decade you know how many i2/isis/infinitybox fire-related wiring issues i've read about - 0. how many "normal" wiring fire re-related issues I've read about - plenty. the system has some drawbacks - it's a blackbox, it eats batteries if you don't have a cut-off switch, you kill...

    Getting Closer

    (just because every thread now needs a discussion on wiring =) ) I think you guys over-think it. I've been using it for over 12yrs now (going back to version 1 basically - i^2 1+1 system) without issue. Jay has been awesome at providing support. Some of the reasons I've read people not...

    Door J Hinge Adjustment - Help Wanted, no Needed

    Grind the upper edge of the door down until there's ~3/16'' of material left or so. Looks scary but it's fine .... hasn't cracked or done anything untowards to me in almost 10 years.

    Is the SL-C radiator outlet at an efficient location?

    People have been using the stock radiator in the stock location for 400-700hp (and probably higher) ls engines for over a decade; it works. Just build a half-decent fan shroud to supplement it. This post makes me lol - if you want a real challenge try cooling a 917 .... 3 radiators and...

    Aero latch vs Quik latch

    Given Pete's front flew off, um, yea, I wouldn't use them. But as Will pointed out, the rear can't open w/o the doors open. https://www.gt40s.com/threads/nose-flew-off.47195/

    SL-C For Sale

    Don't sell - just stick it in the corner and build something else .. that's my philosophy :) Now if only the damned exchange rate would move back to par I'd buy another one to build, but i refuse to lose a used Viper in the conversion, grrrr.

    Wiring fans to both come on for AC or Engine

    it's fine to use the infinitybox to run fans as long as you're under the amp limit. My sl-c has been using it for fans just fine since 2010 and it controls 4 fans on my 917
