David, it all depends where in the country you're towing in. I have a 1998.5 Dodge 2500 Turbo Diesel, 4x4, club cab, short bed, that I used to use to go skiing, and drove it in the snow. We don't...

I've got an Engle .550" lift cam, but I don't think it's made in Brazil. Just sitting in the box, brand new, never been installed. I think it needs to larger Alfa buckets, but that's what I've been...
GTIspirit, what are the smog requirements for your state? On my Mk1 Wabbit, I just use a 12" flex pipe, to a 24" cherry bomb glass pack, to a 45 degree down pipe, and exit the exhaust right in front...
I would have to say MTL is the clear choice, for FWD boxes.
Wing nuts on a race car? That sounds like a oxi-moron
I've only had to do the vice grips thing a couple of times, sometimes on my street car, and only once on the race car. If you drill out the...
Well, that's why they went to the 8 port "torx" type bolt instead of the 6 point socket head cap style.
How many times have your stripped out a CV bolt, and had to use a vice grips to remove it?
The problem I see with going with these types of locking devices, is that's it's already hard enough to get a good "bit" on them to torque them tightly, and now if you use one of these clips or...
Look for an older Dodge 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel. You won't even know the trailer is behind you. I have a 1998.5 4x4, crew cab and when I towed up to Portland in 2003 with a dual axle open...
I think Bildon still does motors

With Doug's situation, I guess we'll all read it in FasTrack when it comes out. It is my understanding that Doug didn't want to "seal" up the car, and demanded that he also be present for the tear...
For you VW folks, Paul was a legend in the VW racing community. He will be missed.

Just keep an eye on the oil pressure gauge, or install a light on the low oil pressure sender.
P.S. I bet it was the #3 rod bearing? How do I know that? Don't ask.
BTW, what oil pump are you...
Tam, I'd love too, but I'll be in the tower instead.
Greg, I bring a spare set of hubs, 1/2 shafts with CV's, calipers, rotors, lower control arms, shocks, struts, tranny, and brake pads to the track. I can replace almost an entire front corner (don't...
Lael, I have a set of 8.5 compression pistons I took out of my GTI when I converted it to to Production.
But with that many engines, it looks like you just need to dis-assembly a couple, and use...
As much camber as you can in the front, with a little bit (1/8" or 3/16") of toe out in the front.
Not much you can do with the rear, except for shims, if you have them.
Also do the corner...
My bad, my search for Db or db didn't find dB
Viet, is this just for Miata's or can any body run?
What is the sound requirement?
Sorry, I've not had an A2 to compare with my A1 Wabbit.
That's what you want to achieve is 50/50 cross weights, but you will never get there because gas weighs how much a gallon? and how much fuel do you use in a 1/2 race?
Eat more Pizza.
Are the bolts "single use" stretch bolts like the VW head bolts? Those are a PITA, and the ARP stud kit is a MUCH better way to go, at least for the VW.
Sandro, the only one that I've blown through on track, was an inside CV joint. Never lost an outer, but always replace both 1/2 shafts every season.
I had that problem a couple of years ago. The diameter of the outer CV on some are larger than others, and would touch the bottom of the hub carrier. I had to try a couple of times to get the...
