While I have never had to change an engine at the track it would probably involve a chair, some beers and the decision not to. ;)

Well done Cort.
I've had several people want me to do fantasy football or NASCAR or whatever. Not interested in the least, but hey, knock yourself out.
Reality is much more to my liking. I don't even play...
Another good one: To each his own.
What ever you use try to have an air gap between the shield and what is shielded.
Everytime I feel like I'm getting old I remind myself of your situation and then feel so much better.
Thanks, Mike. :thumbsup:
;)
Do something like this.

Wizzy and kills 2-3 birds with one stone.

NACA ducts work best when located toward the front of the car or surface where the boundary layer is thinnest and don't work as well as a scoop at higher velocities.
And Arthur had the camera and his face up in there. :eek:
Maybe the post is a bot. The shifter looks great and that style shifter always felt way sloppy so it looks like you accomplished a couple of issues at once.
Except for the short, stubby knob but...
Rods? We don't need no stinkin' rods. Vamos!
At the rate you guys have had rods punch holes through crankcases in that area and start fires some type of shield should be used and a good one at that.
I met Donna around that time. Damn, I'm getting old and keep forgetting I'm only 4 yrs younger than you.
Cootie shots, good one. :)
With as long and distinguished of a racing career as you have had (and as old as you are) it may have been even before that.
I dunno, I'm just sayin' ;)
your name in print, that makes people. I’m in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.”
And if so, for what?
But at least it didn't take him 2 pages to tell us. ;)
Thanks for keeping it short this time. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Mike. :santa:
What was I thinking. Kinda forgot about the status of your car. The RX-7 needs tires and wheels, I'm leaving today to go play in the snow (more like freeze my ass off at the in-laws in MI) for a...
I have business in Tampa around that time. My brother lives in Cape Coral. I'm thinking Moroso. I hear it's nice this time of year.
You need to get the info in bold to start to determine spring rates.
FWIW: No offense but you may want to listen to what everyone is telling you in the multiple threads you have posted on this...
I guess when the Runnoffs were at Road Atlanta there were more small and open trailers. Now everyone has at motor home, a 40' trailer all for one car. I was up there parking people last night, the...
You did a nice job on that trailer.
Bonus! If flames shoot out the pipe you don't need to paint them on the car like you were talking about doing. :D
Let me know if you want a ride...
I think you'd be very disappointed in the amount of power available in its stock form. The design is more for nostalgic looks than anything else.
How would I know? I have Softail bored out to...
The comment of lowered expectations of others was meant to be an inside joke. Any other implication was not intended as I have a very high regard for most on this forum.
The Wikipedia page to where Negative Pressure is in bold and the text defines it. All that verbiage you quoted above is about pressure in general as applied in physics.
The following is what I...

I for one don't want to hear about it.
On my fuel cell the one way vent valve is built into the AN fitting on the fill plate and allows air IN. Any pressure that builds up due to the thermal expansion you described is minimal compared to...
Most people who know you would say go with your gut on that one.
Or in any position for that matter hence the use of a one way valve.
Yes, in the event that something should go terribly wrong...
They were at Road Atlanta last weekend.
Let's keep it to one class or order per nickname. Since we have Amphibia Puniceus I guess a fruit would be OK and in your case fitting as well.
Just don't ask everyone to start refering to you by some lame amphibian derived nick name. :thumbsdown:
Mike, don't be so hard on yourself. You shouldn't feel that way. You may look that way, but you shouldn't feel that way. :D
Key word is license as that may be the most difficult. Find out if you can transfer your current license otherwise you'll have to wait for a school.
As the fit is incredible and the price unbelievable. For $110 the guy got a box of bent tubing and the collector and managed to squeeze it all into some tough confines. Nice job!
That's the section on this site you should start in, do some searches and when you don't find what you are looking for post a question.
When I started I bought someone else's car. ;)
Any of...
Always with the wizzy gadgets. Does it come w/a heads up display? That would be too wizzy if that's possible.
but it could be. To be honest from what I saw the car was not that far from being race ready. If the 10/10ths boys had some axles made up and instruments to install it was about a day or two max from...

Basically, the ARRC is for any and all classes not invited to the Runoffs. Since FB is new...
I just saw this thread! It's surreal yet funny (except for you) at the same time.
All I can say is bring some knee pads. :rolleyes:
And paint it, huh? Looks good! Keeping the rear cover in the jig was a good idea.
Have a Merry Christmas.
