When I purchased my GT car, the log book was missing. I knew the cage number, the date of issue, including the tech inspector and the region. I was not able to even get a reply. Ended up as suggested...

Well, I guess I was wrong. Anyhow, my point was, racing my car is like looking through a jungle jim. You don't notice it once you start racing, but sitting on the Grid you wonder how you are going to...

I believe any additional tubes added are required to be the same diameter as the roll cage in IT. The view can be very obstructed. Here is my view and my windshield braces are smaller than the 1.5...

A good starting point would be to use springs equal to your corner weights. This is not scientific but will give you a good starting point. The car won't oversteer on you and you can get some...

Rather than going the route of a salvage car and then trying to convert it to a race car, I'd suggest watching for a good used race car. Peter Zekert has a "foster" car program where you can have the...

Buy a used race car. You will spend at most 25 cents on the dollar vs building a car. And don't worry, there will be plenty of things to do on your "new" used racecar. I also suggest buying a car as...

Viscosity is rated at ambient temperature I believe. At operating temperature, they all pour about the same like water. Higher viscosity oil increases friction. Friction causes heat. Oil temperatures...

You can really only "see" it at the time the work is done. After the engine has run, not so easy to see. 3 of the angles are to set the seat "width" and postion. The outer two angles from the seat...

When working with engine timing you need to look at "total" advance. A timing light that allows you to dial the advance to bring TDC to zero is best. Most engines see "total" advance above 3000rpm....

Look at Alfa Romeo too.

I would read GCR 9.4.2.B. I don't see a problem welding your sleeves, but the rule does specify the bolts need to be in place. I have seen some left field interpretations of the GCR by tech...

Buy A Used Race Car!!! But buy one as it comes off the track. You will have plenty to do sorting a used car. I know where there is an ITC Scirocco with a DOM cage suitable for Production with a...

Both are correct. The early 5 speeds did not have the pinion support bearing in the rear cover. Later VW added the extra support needle bearing. In a jam you could run the shorter pinion, but 5th...

A common cause of rod bearing failure can be from detonation. This can be caused by a lean mixture in one cylinder, too much timing with a poor octane fuel, or by an engine that has a cylinder...

JB Weld? Since your original post was a thumbs down for a company, perhaps you could post the details of the outcome. That would be only fair.

I would avoid that pan for road racing. I found that it took to long for the oil to find its way back to the pickup and they are brittle. I found the ones that autotech was selling to be better...

Contact Peter Shadowen at RoadnRace Automotive. Info at roadnrace dot com. He fabricated a nice shield for his GT Rabbit after he split an engine and transmission in half. It utilizes the two upper...

Not sure what you are talking about. It sounds like two things. Does the engine need to breath? Yes, the 85 golf has a breather hose tied into the intake. One option would be to run the breather into...

Optimizing a standalone injection system can be very tedious and requires the patience of a saint. Without a dyno and a wide band 02 sensor system similar to the innovate, it would be doubtful that...

You should check that your voltage to the pump is constant across the rpm range. If you are running vacumn to the fuel pressure regulator, the opposite should happen as mentioned. There is a...

Chris, you can solve this problem with a replacing the tank. New the 83 GTI had this problem. You can install part number 533-201-511 A. You will need to install a prepump, but this can be external....

I would look here. http://www.mazdaspeeddevelopment.com/partsprogram.htm Mazda has a great program for racers.

I don't think the mount of the front nose could be considered high pressure. The earlier years had just a short extension on the inlet that came out by the clutch lever. I think attaching the inlet...

The straps were installed in the wrong direction for the 210 pressure plate. Look at a 190 or 200 pressure plate. They are the opposite direction. The only work around is as Bildon is doing adding...
