I'm 5'7 ~175lbs and it is an absolute miserable experience to get in/out ... you fold up like an accordion and my head is smashed into the roof. I like my seats as upright as possible - if you reclined the seat horizontally like you were in a coffin you could fit taller, but that would be...

Looking to buy an ETB DIgidash 2 Pro for my part inventory. RCR SLC kits used to come with them.

It's unfortunate they went away from the Digidash the dash was designed for .... looks better and functions really good; I used it in all my later builds

I'd agree the Radical is more extreme on the street than an SL-C My gen 2 Viper has a 10L stroker with a large paxton and it's a Bentley compared to the SL-C And compared to a 917 the SL-C is like a Maybach, haha It depends on what we're comparing it to ... but most people will probably try...

A lot of people think they're getting into a sports car that will be akin to a corvette/lambo/ferrari, albeit more unique You're not - you're putting a fucking race car on the street - it's dangerous, uncomfortable and completely impractical. To put it into perspective, I would say my SL-C is...

you can find -6an o-ring female/female in 5 seconds on summit and other sites you know, right....

you don't need 2 people to bleed brakes. get a plastic water bottle, fill it 1/4 of the way with brake fluid, then run the hose from the bleeder into the bottom of the bottle (hose submerged in fluid). To make sure the hose stays put, put the bottle cap back on but drill a 1/4'' hole in it to...

Wow, that's a pretty horrible price - a new Honda Civic is almost as much as that these days. I guess it goes with the territory for component vehicles - it requires the right buyer, so either you sit and wait for a very long time or you get raped.

No you don't - after a few years of building, a few years of driving, a few years of fixing things that don't readily exist and then life getting in the way you'll just be happy to have the car stay together. Build the engine you want from the getgo and be done with it.

I've put a battery cut-off (Flaming River Big Switch) on all of my cars, except my daily driver, as I only drive them once a month, if that. Lamborghinis, vipers, mustangs, corvettes and all my homebuilt vehicles (carb'd and EFI). I've never once had any issues in over 15 years - the only...

pffft, I have a built 427 LS3 in my 917 making around 600 rwhp and I want moooooar power! when I built my first car - FFR 65 cobra - the one thing I'm very glad that I ignored people on was them saying 'oh, it's a light car, you only need a 300hp 5.0 in it, that's plenty'. Pffffft to that I...

guess I'll never know - I pulled out the cv axle, took one look at the grease and the mess it would make and figured 'i'll just pay a shop $50 to do this for me' ... so I did. All done :)

you can over-extend the clutch if you have too much throw; set it with the engine on - clutch in slowly until you get to the point where the clutch disengages, then set the stop a little bit past that point. Check it in first and reverse and you should be good. Compared to my other vehicles...

summer time - time to re-boot him ... i've never replaced a boot on a cv axle before ... is it as simple as watching a video on yourtube for any type of cv boot replacement, or are there going to be some tricks with it waiting to bite me in the butt, like hidden ball bearings when i take it...

safety and 917 do not go together. In mine the fuel tank is about 1/8'' infront of the crank pulley, with the waterneck actually sitting inside the fuel tank (there's a nook carved out in the fuel tank for it to sit inside) in the vent of any rear-end accident my engine is going inside my...

i wouldn't - at some point one or two are probably going to loosen and find their way in to your tire are you tapping the holes with a drill - if so, you can definately use the drill to do so, but the risk of snapping a tap off increases exponentially, versus doing it by hand, if you get sloppy...

You're selling a component vehicle .... unless you plan to fire sale it it will be a long drawn-out painful process to get the value you want out of it, regradless of where you post it.

My 917 is RHD ... for street use it's doable, but pretty sketchy whenever there's any traffic around ........ I don't think I'd do RHD again if I had a choice.

Pretty sure that's Del's car unless somebody copied that squiggly badge logo he made https://www.gt40s.com/threads/dels-build-slc-ir-8.50967/

RCR uses Shields .... I bought my lexan windshield from the factory in 2010 and 12yrs later it's still looking brand new .... the coating they use on it to make it scratch-resistant is pretty good (as long as you arn't using wipers and you properly take care of it). The mold they used for the...
