Sounds like for the near term, you may have eliminated "podiums" and "prizes" for your car choices. That should open a lot of opportunities I'd think. Used SRFs Gen2-Gen3 are a bit more affordable...

Lynn,

I have been searching for a trailer for my wide-body Corvette. Its fenders 80" wide.
You have sufficiently "narrowed" my search to their Dual-Axle version.

Best of luck in your...

Pun intended.

Energy for recharge Cost effective? Not unless you use nuclear power.
Else, virtually every EV charge station is run on - that's right, Fossil Fuel!

Less environmental waste...

I suggested to Brian @ Nine Four he needs to "break up the Blue" with some stars! Nice livery.

This was the approach taken by SCCA with the Spec Racer Renault:

And with it came a very prolific spec class with all the additional expense to maintain "spec," [sealed engine, transmission,...

The FAQ suggests that racing is in the plan, but not clear:


If just using for track days - many less costly, ready to go options available...

I had the same question with my (then new to me) Sports Racer/Renault.
After I replaced the fuel cell, I filled it one gallon at at time.
Then, I dipped it with a wood dowel - marked each...

The only "clue" I could add is; the Terrapin was designed and originally built by Alan Staniforth. Add in the Mini-Marcos and the Brabham, wooden track fencing - somewhere in the UK?

I sneak into my wife's kitchen cabinet and swipe the GooGone.
Smells nice too.

Cheers - Jim

I could loan you some.

I saw a compressor in your shop right?
I'd bring over the "Venturi-Press" version, and some reading materials.
Need to give me a week or so to dig it out of the garage....

might be this one -

Thanks to all for the words of support and experience with Burton Power. :thumbsup:

I too can add my name to the list of affirmative supporters!
The intake valves I needed were listed as "out...

Gentlemen -

Thank you all. Responses are just what I needed. I'll be placing an order.
Hopefully they can source those intake valves on back order.

Regards, Jim

I have had the camshaft for my 2.0L Renault reground. Looking to add a few HP/Ft#s to the mix in my "Spec/non-Spec Renault Racer." I'm quite used to scouring the planet for 1980's Renault bits,...

Just thinking here. With that "excess HP" there has to be some torque in there too.

For wider sticky tires - maybe go to 15 inch rims? You could do Wide-5s and custom make the 4x100 if you...

It has been done - and if you hang-out at eBay long enough you'll see them being sold for "nickles on the dollar." If you feel you "need to build a car" there are plenty of opportunities, even some...

:thumbsup:

That's funny!

Stan - yep I finally got it -- had to VPN via Belgium - what gives with using Texas?
Looks like a great set of files.

Thanks JJ!
Wish I could have gotten over to Bangkok when in SEA to see...

I keep getting "dumped" It suggests should be 1 GB

I'll keep trying..

The Apex Pro is a great option - and if you have an Apple Phone - even more powerful. I am an early adopter of the product, and it is nice to have "realtime" coaching available- just in your...

Hmmm, interesting, YT conversion processes? Anyway, I'd expect that lap-to-lap from same camera would have little variation, even from day-to-day. The part I found really interesting is their...

If you can source one - the original funky shaped AIM SmartyCam does an inexpensive substitution. You can get RPM, G, speed and video, and can be often found for under a couple of hundred bucks. ...

Sweet looking, Very low production rate, however.
Go-fast 260 KPH - they say.
Lower cost than FF - they say.
Is this the Formula Miata - from a previous discussion?

Cheers - Jim

Sorry - but I couldn't find this in my stack of bookmarks - was on the other pc!
it is a link to a build like you suggest you are considering.
Note - it was over 2 1/2 years from roller chassis...

Greetings,

Folks here will know I am a SR-kinda guy, Formula-wannabe. As a consequence, my choice is a very vintage Spec Racer Renault. It is the Gen 1 of the Spec Racer Ford (now Gen3). It is...

Looks like an interesting shape.

Would you happen to have a picture of the side pods from the bottom side? Looks a bit like an airfoil section maybe lurking there. Just guessing with the ...

There is a bit of similar discussion on the SRF(3) over at:
http://www.specracer.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1647 which is in the "How to Get Started"

And, even more here: ...

If that is all cleared up -- How about a picture?

Did somebody put you up to this - just to get me going on this idea? [I'll add I've been in South East Asia and for the past 5 months been preping our sailboat for an Indian Ocean Passage - not...

Greetings all:

I am interested in getting some track time to work setups on my "non-spec" Renault. The numbers of SEDiv SCCA track days remaining for this season to be useful are limited, and...

I'll assume they are DCOEs - have you seen Dave Andrews page? It has a pretty comprehensive look at jets, etc. Much Pinto info, etc; http://www.dvandrews.co.uk/webers May not be directly...

Nice effort going on here. Do you have any pictures of the build to share?
TIA, and Cheers - Jim

On the "left coast" in the 25 hours of Thunderhill, a modified SRF did just fine as I understand. They planned on the Toyos lasting all 25, but then swapped at 18 - being conservative. Changed...

Uhh - Data? :D (I hope - having just bought a bunch of DA bits...)

NASA (the racing org - not Space Agency) did/does a 25 hour at Thunderhill, out west. It has been "sponsored" in the past by USAF - not sure to what extent. It did include NASA ESR class (which is...

I came across Jake Latham's web page when searching for "Brake Calculators." He ran a Radical a while back and has a bunch of details over there. He is here as JakeL and might be a useful...

Hey Jim
Check with Tilden at Prisim Motorsports in Melbourne, FL (910) 258_5052. I know he is rebuilding one that should be ready in January. I bent it some at Sebring Labor Day weekend. Tell him...
