Tom,
It has been a while. For oil I believe it is between 4 and 5 quarts. I may be low.
To tighten the top nut on Tokico struts, I used a small set of vice grips with with the slightly rounded...

I am not sure about a pocket of fuel preventing the engine from turning over. Has the engine sat for a long period of time? I have heard of the apex seals rusting to the side of the housing which...

Again, thank you for putting together this proposal. I sent a letter of support on 3/29.
Were you give any timeline in regard to when this request would be considered.

This past weekend I raced the Fun One at Watkins Glen. During the ITA/ITS race on the short course, Sunday, I was punted from the track around lap five. I was exiting the carousel when Ben Phillips...

What ever you do, do not buy used rain tires from another driver unless it is somebody you know and trust.

Is the First Gen RX7 a good fit with ITB? Most likey it is. However, when I have been included with the ITB and ITC cars I have been midpack at best. This is largely due to a lack of tuning and...

Dave,
I am sorry the truck needs all that work, but the price was right. I am not sure if I will make that weekend. I definitely want to race one more time before the snow hits. If I do, I will...

Mike,

A few years ago, we went through this with my mother in-law. We returned Sunday evening from a race at Nelson Ledges with 11 messages on our anwering machine. The first was from her...

I have a first gen. ITA RX7. I have heard of some different variations in wiring a MSD 6A with using one MSD or two, and even using three coils. What would you recommend and how would you wire it ?...

Scott,
Unless you really are intent on learning how to rebuild a rotary engine, a project that should be left to the Winter months, you should consider buying an engine so that you can continue...

Ben,

The exhaust was an issue two years ago when I noticed a crack leading to a hole in the bottom of my header while prepping the car for a race. The Racing Beat header I ordered would not...

I have recently been lost in a professional abyss. I have not followed many of...

John,

That bolt is a PITA. I use a 14mm long box wrench and I wedge a square shafted Craftsman screwdriver behind it to hold it on. I am able to get the box wrench on far enough on that I can...

This Ebay ad seems interesting. I do not know anything about Plymouth Arrows, but it might make a good school/ gain seat time car.

I came across this $100.00 race car on Ebay. Does anyone have an idea how competitive a Plymouth Arrow is in ITC?

This could be a great deal for nothing more than getting your schools done and...

Dave,

I have be able to get mine from NAPA along with the bearings, races, and seals. I do not recall the price but they are reasonable. I did have to specify whether the spindles were '79-'83...

I was also at the Fun One this year. Yesterday, I received some pictures from Roz. It must be quite a job to organize and mail pictures for over a hundred competitors at an event. With snow and ice...

Mark, Festus, or anyone,

How are you attaching your airdam?

How far under the car does it extend?

Does anyone have insights into repairing a tear in the urethane?

I also have a urethane...
