You are correct on the rotted away part. I need to just strip the wheels and dump the tires and get the room back in the shop. And no, the Caterham driving problem wasn't you. there was a red one and a blue one that had a tendency to be "intentionally unpredictable" when there was someone...

First I sell the car. the new owner gets to worry about it. last time it was on track was 2020 or 2021, so the whole rain lights thing wasn't a requirement. maaan that makes me mad saying that. car sitting in garage for 4 years and I have like 8 sets of tires for it just rotting away.

I agree with you on the overall sentiment. it's just a matter of doing it within the confines of the entire GCR and all of its wonderful wording. ex. my RX7 factory tail lights suuuuck. the original Caterham lights on the 7s are awful. those old low-wattage incandescent bulbs are barely...

What about your classic IIDSYCYC?

Yeah.. it's the whole intent vs. literal again. I wonder what the rules state in GTA/ GT2 about the old NASCAR bodies that did the same thing.. I would think intelligent people would look at that particular case and say "yeah this is good enough. it's clear those are tail lights and brake...

Greg, I think the underlying issue with Al's case is the factory taillights are gone, because SPO car can do such.. I'm envisioning silhouette/fiberglass/composite GT car body here. Emphasis added below.

I used whatever ethanol-free was available at the station closest to the track, typically 92. silly rotaries.

Thanks for staying with it, Greg!

I'd wager it's closer to legal than you think. With the advanced aero, STU is allowed 3" splitter, and that looks like the exact same APR wing that I have, and my splitter looks ballpark same. It was measured within an inch of its life at COTA Super Tour last weekend.

So dad bought himself an EP 240SX with KA24E. did a money shift and sent a rod through the block a couple laps later. He's having a hard time finding another one from a 240SX that hasn't succumbed to drift tax ($1000 for a 30yr old hunk of iron!), but there's a Hardbody truck 4x2 with the...

So my dad bought Joel Scweers' EP 240SX and of course at his first race he had some "user malfunctions" operating his dog box and wound up breaking a few things inside the gearbox. It's an older G-Force T5-->dog box conversion, and G-Force no longer has parts for it on the shelf. Paul didn't...

Since I'm no longer racing the RX7, I need to get rid of these tires to make room in the shop and before they rot away. New slicks 245/580/15 S100, qty 4 245/580/15, S80, qty 2 Used slicks 245/580/15, S100, qty 4 245/580/15, S80, qty 6 23x9.5x15, R45B, qty 4 DOT: 225/45/15, Toyo R888R, qty 4...

Looks like that's the next item on my tool/toy investment list. It seems there's a number of systems out there- Smart Strings, BG Racing both have the 'hang on the car string type' systems, and a few others have some laser style ones that you place on the floor, but those increase in price...

When I bought the RX7, it had 3 carter external pumps on it. One fed from each side of the fuel cell to a swirl tank, then another from there to the engine. Two of the three pumps were dead when I bought the car, so I replaced them with same. That was Aug 2014. Less than 20 hours of...

A friend posted this on another site. http://www2.dana.com/pdf/AXSM-0020.pdf Some of the damage in the photos looks familiar!

Saturday looked to be a pretty good day- weather was nice, 5 EP cars on grid, starting in the top 6 or 7 sports. I was on 2-weekend old tires already, just hoping they would last the weekend. Got a good start from pole and got a decent lead, then stayed there for the rest of the race. Aaron...

the RX7 I just bought has a full-loss system and a 16v battery. Need to come up with a charger for it. anyone have one they're not going to use anymore?

Picked up Mike Hart's old EP car on Sunday from a guy that was going ChumpCar racing with it. Given this history of this car, I just couldn't let that happen. Still needs an engine and tranny, but I have a line on an engine. Now just need to find a tranny for it. If anyone has a spare that...

Hey guys... posting this on behalf of some LeMons racer friends I owe favors to. I'm 800 miles away so obviously can't help.. This is all I know- no idea what's happened other than "the truck died".. Anybody in the area that can help? I'm hoping the racers help racers mantra works here and...

Am always shopping for better stuff than the cheap "japanese" coilovers on the car. This summer's plan was to buy decent suspension. Ran across a set of lightly used Advance Design shocks that fit the car. Wondering what opinions are on these vs. a set of beginner-level AST, Ohlins, Penske?
