So I’ve owned the super lite since 2012 and still have original tires. I found out the hard way yesterday why that isn’t a good idea. Hit the breaks and locked into a nice skid/spin. I have Toyo Proxies (track tires) on it now, looking for some feedback on pirelli or Michelin . They have...

Has anybody done it? Wondering if it works My car will stall sometimes coming off an exit ramp - was toldit was because the engine doesn't get a speed reading. Under the car today I found the speed connector not too far from the transaxle. Was going to plumb it up and see if it works. Thought I...

I've finally given up on the dream of owning a bendpak lift. Just do not have the space. But it's really hard to maintain this car without being able to get under it from time to time. has anyone had success with a scissor lift - Harbor Freight has one and several others They look tall -...

After 8 years and 7000 miles the fuel pump has gone tango uniform. Current setup is 100 micron filter directly attached to tank. Cables to fuel pump then to 10 micron filter and fuel rail. Filters are made by aeromotive. Fuel pump brand unknown but looks pretty standard. Motor LS3 Anybody...

While under the car replacing the starter, I noticed both axle shafts were leaking. The left one is actually dripping oil (slightly) The right one is throwing grease all over the exhaust and wheel Short of replacing them @ 1200 a/piece, is there any hope of refurbishing them? Ricardo transaxle...

Just got the car back from the body shop after fixing the hood First spin around the block and negative battery cable comes loose - shorts out and melts the wiring Fixed that - only to find the starter is now toast. When I turn the key - starter engages at half speed and won't turn off Ricardo...

Took the car out last weekend for a quick run. When I got back I noticed a 14" long crack in the hood - directly above the latch on the drivers side. It has sheared clean thru. Stress?

So, I woke up this morning and took the car for a spin. Upon return, I found a major stress crack on the hood - it runs from side to side on the locking pin and has broken clean. Seems like a stress crack that started on the drivers door side and spread very quickly. Anyone seen anything like...

A month ago I had a leak in a heater core tube. That prompted me to replace all the coolant lines from the radiator back. Problem is with refiling coolant and burping the system. 1) I am using the HD Airlift Evacuator System - recommended to my by Fran 2) I can hold 25lbs vacuum and the...

I am getting some scrape on the left door when I close it. Manual is absent on how to adjust the hang. Wanted some advice before I go tearing the door apart :) Anyone have experience in adjusting the gull doors? Thanks -kb

I need to replace the coolant in my superlite. I have the Airlift II system (thanks Fran) to replace the coolant, but I'm trying to figure out how to evacuate all the existing coolant. If I drain from the radiator I think I'm leaving a few gallons in (coolant lines, block). Can anyone suggest...

Have had an ongoing challenge with cooling the superlite here in the south. Previous owner added a supplemental electric water pump and I discovered the fans weren't operating properly (see earlier wiring thread). Rectified the fans but I'm still concerned about rising water temperatures when...

Gents: I have a pre-ISIS car and am in need of any schematics available for the older wiring harness. My electrical works seems to be put together with no rhyme or reason and it's making diagnosis and troubleshooting almost impossible. My car is overheating because the fans are never turning...

Just got my car back for H and it is fantastic. Suspension all setup. Engine tuned and running correctly and a host of other "shake down" items that H and this team addressed. Took 8 inches out of the tail - what a difference it makes. Anyone in the Southeast would be will served by H.

I've run into a few things with the SLC I can't quite fix myself. Looking for recommendations for someone in the Atlanta area. Thanks in advance.

Having some serious thermal management issues with my SLC. The MAF and transmission reverse/VSS bundles are now a bunch of melted goo sitting on the left exhaust. In repairing this, I have find a bunch of (post construction) wiring that comes into close contact with the pipes. Not good...

So, fresh with the success of power bleeding the brakes, I decided to move onto the clutch slave cylinder. Turns out the tilton reservoirs are two piece and must be tight (pic #1) before adding new oil and 10 lbs pressure (ask me how I know this). Long cleanup later - I moved onto the bleed...

I bought a Motive Products power brake bleeder. My plan is to flush the brakes and clutch fluid given it's 3 years old. Documentation talks about pressuring the system to the manual specifications. 10 lbs seems to low, 20 seems to high. Does anybody have any experience using this product with...

I just bought the black rapier SLC that has been listed here. Seller is located in Boston - flying out tomorrow to take possession. Would you drive it back to Atlanta? I really would like to but maybe common sense should prevail?
