While not from NZ...although have visited, and very much enjoyed my time there...I did recently go through a roll over homologation with SCCA here in the states.

I have a March 86A Indy lites...

Hi Ian,

There is a person in the UK who will make reproduction plates. Several of us on this website have had plates made to replace the ones that invariably, after 30 years around a race track...

Greg,

As I wrote earlier, all the issues with the car, to me, are not significant problems. I have been racing for 40 years. I have found that nothing is more used, or abused, than a used race...

Since the engine in the March is a Stage II Buick V6 the conversion over to the electric starter was very easy. The Tilton starter on the NASCAR COTF has an offset drive with two different drive...

Gregg,

Good to hear about the air starter. Hopefully you did not pay much for the engine work since the block was badly cracked, and the internal parts were for a drag engine and how about that...

The internal one, in consideration of the 8500 + redline with the 230 hp in the VW engine, is far superior both for reliability and feel. With the Tilton orange spring single plate clutch the...

I went through this last year with my Ralt. The perfect solution, rather than fuss with the SAAB part was to call Taylor Race. They have in their cad/cam computer the perfect base. Then you bolt...

Bill,

Yes, did several regional and national races with the Ralt. Several months ago I sold it to a friend of mine, who due to health reasons, can no longer race with SCCA. He is going to race...

Hi Bill,

Good to hear your racing is going well. I ran a number of races with Calclub the first half of the year in several diffferent classes (added to the collection of flags on the shop...

Hi Lee,

Thank you for the follow up. I will contact you next week to see what can be done.

Going through the Hewland gearbox on the current project. It is a 5 speed FGB. The reverse spigot, once the locking bolt is removed has about 0.010 play all around. Additionally the reverse idler...

Charles,

I have two of the lifeline air bottles. About 3 inches in diameter and 12 inches long. The guage shows they will go to 3000 psi. Any interest in trading one of those for your nitrogen...

Thank you for the information. Between these replies and a PM have what I need.

Thank you apexspeed...

As I am sorting through all the ssystems for the March 86A project car I have discovered it has an air starter. Do all indycar and indylites use these things? Are they much of a fuss to live with? ...

and here....first drive at 200 mph was in a Ferrari 512M (lemans prototype) at PIR on the old track with the back straight that came back to the oval from way out in the desert...that was when the...

After spending eight years in combat zones, four with Army Rangers and four with Special Forces and a couple other Spec Ops units, all as an Infantry enlisted then officer. I am not going to worry...

The only way to homolgate a formula car is to have one that meets the metal tube, metallic tub, or have an FIA certificate for the composite cars. Went through this process several years ago with an...

Charles,

Should be...but there is always room to learn from others. Have been working in and out of medicine since 1969 and as in racing, there is always something new, there are always those...

I am currently going through a March 86A (Indy Lights Wildcat) with the idea of homologating it in SCCA FS. The previous comments on the handling of the lights cars, does this apply to the March or...
