That's how mine is installed (chassis #04566) - the temperature probe (and I have a spare somewhere if you need the MoTeC part number) is in the Mazda OEM hole near the thermostat. I have the MoTeC...

Glad to hear you had a good time. I've been a flight instructor for more than 30 years and it's like learning to fly an airplane. At first, you're working hard just trying to learn the basics then...

Mine is triggered by the MoTeC system, so I can go in and program under what circumstances it comes on (e.g., coolant more than 190 and car speed less than 5 MPH).

And you must not have a cooling fan. I highly recommend adding it. I can idle on the grid and it just cycles on and off keeping the coolant around 185 to 190 degrees. No more leaf blowers or...

If it was run without a thermostat, then it probably has/should have a 'plug' in the housing that needs to be removed. That plug slows the coolant flow (so it has time to dissipate the heat) when...

Yes it is. I got two aluminum rods (one for oil and one for gearbox) cut to a good length and marked with the "maximum' and 'minimum' levels, respectively. The gearbox rod is only about 12 inches...

I stand corrected. The fill measurement is in the Star Race Cars technical data:

Gearbox Oil
To measure the gearbox oil simply place a tape measure down the fill port 7.0inchs. Oil should start...

Just search "Hewland FTR manual" on the Internet and it'll probably give you several places that it's posted.

Assuming you have the same oil line routing and oil filter setup (in the left side pod) as I do, a fair amount of oil wil be trapped in the cooler, lines, and filter since the return line runs uphill...

I use either BUR9EQ or BUR9EQP. The only difference is that the Ps are platinum. I believe - but am not certain - the NGK stock numbers are 5777 and 5255.

As was said, these engines can foul plugs pretty easily. My FM (carbureted) was terrible until I leaned out the idle mixture and ran some hotter (lower heat range) spark plugs. The engine also had...

I know I need roughly 5 gallons of fuel for a 30 minute session, so I just put that much in before each session. I also occasionally top it off and go a couple sessions before refueling. I only...

Thanks for the quick replies. I am amazed. The tank on my Ram 2500 diesel truck isn't much bigger than that!

Does anyone know the actual capacity of the fuel cell? I've never drained then refilled mine to determine it. The Star Race Cars manual from 2010 says 19 gallons, which I simply cannot believe.

If I recall, some (but only a few) parts are common with a DP02. For example, I think I bought new uprights that were common to both.

I installed a lithium battery last year and have never had to charge it. With the master off, it appears that the lithium battery holds a charge very well. I always use external power for the first...

I measure the ride height at the front of the shovel and back edge of the belly pan. I think I have about a quarter to half inch of rake, I can't remember exactly. I know the front is 1.5 inches.

I'm a little lighter than you (about 25 pounds), but I also often run the car full of fuel just so I can get multiple sessions between fuelings (which means I'm carrying an extra 40 to 45 pounds that...

Same concept. Previous owner fabriacated it, but I thought it would shake around a bit too much during transport, so I disassembled...

I am a member at VIR and occasionally visit Road Atlanta under our 'exchange' agreement. I'm only about an hour and a half from Road Atlanta, so it's easy for me to go to one of their club days. ...

Brandon,
I have both an FM and a PFM. I always had to watch the coolant temperature in the FM while on the false grid or if there was an incident and we were held in the pit. My PFM has the electric...

Does anyone know the brand or where I can find the remote brake balance adjuster assembly (cockpit knob all the way to the balance bar) for a 1st generation PFM? I ordered one from Star Race Cars...

Perfect. Thanks.

Can someone send me the overall width and length of a Pro Formula Mazda (height is not a factor)? We may have a project building a trailer and I'd like to know the basic dimensions before making a...
