Threaded body shocks have always been legal, but using the threads on the body for adjustment has not. So the car that you saw, just because it had threaded body shocks on it, doesn't make it illegal.
Sorry, threaded body shocks were never illegal. However, using the threads on the shock body for ride height adjustment was illegal. As long as you permanently locked some sort of perch to the body...
LTB Motorsports got its roof blown off by the hurricane. I don't know how much damage has been done to his business, but if you were planning to order something from him, give him a couple of days....
The protest went far enough that the steward got involved. I'm not blaming the two drivers for what occurred. I'm not sure that I wouldn't have left also, if my car was broken. I don't know of many...
If you want to stop the cheating, and the bitching about the cheaters,we have got to be willing and have the ability to protest. This past weekend , to me , is a perfect example of why you can't...
I'm sorry, but I thought the appeal had already been heard, Sunday morning, that is the reason that they announced the disqualification the next day. SCCA Pro usually gives you the chance to justify...
You might want to check the news from Lime Rock this weekend. They kick out a couple of Miatas for having the wrong cams, and last I saw they were running Sunbelt engines.
Jon,
Different engines and exhaust systems have an effect on the outcome, but generally we see a 2-3 hp gain over the DC. The biggest difference we see is the engine continues to make power at...
We have always run a synthetic ATF. It has a very high sheer strength, and doesn't cost HP. Never had any problems or wear issues, its just a pain trying to keep the trans from leaking. Paper gaskets...
LTB and OPM are both distributors of our stuff. Louis I think even has one in stock, if its not already on his car. Or if you have any questions, you are welcome to call me direct. I think our golf...
Jeff,
How did it go this past weekend at Road Atlanta? What did you think of the track? Are the drivers mean and evil as described, or are they just some intense competitors?
Jeff,
You've got to go to Road Atlanta. It absolutely is one of the most fun tracks in the country. As far as rough drivers go, I think people cause there own trouble somtimes. Go, have fun.

I agree with what everybody has said about getting the nut as tight as possible. Your question was is the hub getting ready to fail? YES . I never have seen the nut just come loose. What is usually...
You are confusing this. CC'ing is just a matter of checking the volume of the cylinder head. It's something that you really should do to make sure that your compression is OK. How deep you set your...
I with agree with Louis in this situation. Mr. Martinez used tactics to win on Sunday that were not appreciated by his fellow competitors. I hope he realized after the event, that even though he...
Richy,
Contact Louis at LTBMotorsports.com about the quick releases. He's got several flavors to choose from that all bolt up to a MOMO hub.
That's some new technology. Be careful if they have three self adjusters, they are illegal.
I'm sorry, that's not the response you wanted to hear, but it amazes what kind of crap gets spread...
I'm not a Honda expert, but I hope you are using a boring plate. On that motor, there is nothing supporting the top of the cylinders, so they move around when you are machining.
I'm not saying it didn't, but how did having a header blow out hurt the head.
Just going to pick on you a little bit Mad:
"track record at kershaw 1:56.6 with a welded in a volkswagon, and i tell u what if i built a honda i would not give it a second thought!"
How about...

I really suggest you call Blake or Tom at OPM and they will talk you through the installation. The object of those bearings is not to have any movement back and forth.
What do you want us to tell you? You had a worn out motor 8 races ago, and now its still worn out. Darn, I hate when that happens. A good compression number is generally above 165 psi.
The best CV joint greae is made by a company called SuperBoot. It is used by a lot of Pro teams. It has great heat tolorance, and is impossible to wipe off anything. It solved some serious CV prolems...
