I have some older panasports and I want to make them look brand new. Are they paint or powder coat? I can do both, prefer powder, but want to know for sure. Something about potentially putting...

Good to see another Z driver. I have a 260 that I drive once or twice a year, and I maintain David Spillmans 240. Let me know if you need anything. I make some nice camber plates, David's old car...
As a Quality Manager in an ISO 9001:2008 certified facility, this is very distressing. I hope that this can be resolved positively, but it doesn't look good. An old friend once told me that...
I noticed that the OP seems to hold well in Hog Pen. You don't pull more right hand g's than that at VIR. Remember OP goes up and down with RPM. Also, you may want to put a shield around your...
A huge aluminum radiator saved over 10 lbs for me. Nascar door bars saved 24 lbs on the right side. Speedway tubular sway bar was over 10. Ron's light weight crank pulley was 2.5. Read the cage...
I got one of these about 9 years ago and within a few months/year or two, it was nasty and I was stuck figuring out how to remove 10 gallons of solvent from the tub that only had a plug in the...
As some of you know, we said goodbye to a real gem of a man, Harry Pucket this week. Harry went home to the lord Sunday morning at about 5:00 AM. Many of you will have very fond memories of Harry and...
I have an ITC Civic for sale right now for $2000. I have seen cages cost this much. I know that the guy I got the car from paid much more than this for his son to race and then it sat for several...
Oh, those are the super trick, light weight illegal ones that the fast guys use!!!
Back to reality
The 240 and early 260 housings are just a couple thousanths over 2". The late 260 and 280...
Any sponsor deal for club racing, national or regional is a good thing, especially with the economy as it is. Thank you Saferacer and SCCA!
Anybody else think that the head and neck thing has a...
Ron, Jeff R, Jeff Y, I notice you don't have any camber plates in there yet. I just picked up a batch from the laser guy. I can hook you up for a lot less than the alternatives. Definately want to...
This infatuation the world has developed with political correctness is taking us to hell in a handbag. And that bus is being driven by lawyers. I like and respect a large number of lawyers. The...
On the Nismo and Power Brute clutch type limited slips, the bellville washer like Steve mentioned puts the pressure on. The standard breakaway is not enough for racing. The standard deal is to put...
I got a two double room in South Boston at the Super 8 for $75 a night, Saturday only on Expedia. Not much avail for Friday night, so I will be getting up early and hauling in Saturday morning. Yee...
You might try sending the dead one to Xenocron and have them check it out. It is like $35.00 for checkout and minor repair. More if it is bigger and they call first. They could tell you what the...
Use the spring that gives you an unsprung weight you like. I personally like zero, but they don't make that spring in the rate I want so I run the shortest that will work.

X2 on Steve's comments. The first thing I looked at was the location on your header. Steve is way more qualified than I, but I too would bend you new front tubes to get everything in a better...
Maybe the club has some secret file of OEM battery weights and is just waiting to pounce when someone files a protest. I am definately not in favor of rules that are not clearly spelled out. Don't...
I made some epoxy fiberglass composite ducts that allow a 3" hose to blow through the caliper. These drop the caliper temp about 200 degrees at Road Atlanta with a very fast driver, not me! I am...
Take a look at the weld in camber plates in the classified section. They shouls work well for you.

One thought on installation of this pulley or any other. If you get a replacement bolt from a fastener store and cut the head off, and then grind a generous fillet on the cut end, then do the same...
Got mine last night, very nice. Although not enought to impress my wife or daughters, maybe if it had an MP3 player on it or something!!!
Very nice part, can't wait to put it on my car and make...
Two ways I have seen this done, and keep the ignition switch:
1. Remove the switch, cut a section of beer or soda can and wrap it around the column, resinstall the switch. Keeps the lock from...
I wish my projects sold that quickly! That is great. I sent the paypal a few minutes ago. It has been kind of crazy lately.

I think the light/cool of this part is overcoming my cheapness. I think I want one too.
BTW, the front suspension will start being bolted back on Davids car tonight. Should be as fast or...
