Thanks Russ. For some reason on firefox. Nothing was showing live. Only on demand.

Anyone having problems getting the live coverage to start?

I'm talking about the west wx10 body. We shaped it in 08. the design was done in 06. it was just on paper at that point. I have studied the pics of the level 5 car many times. I do see some...

This IS a wx10 body. It has had a few tweaks here and there To fit various things. Myself and Jesse Shaped the original wx10 body. It took months to finish. I did this for very low pay. it was more...

i dont remember anyone at the runoffs having sound issues.crook was running a strait pipe all the way tell the second q day.

you have to mod the cam gears on the gsxr.im pretty sure the 06/07 kaw zx10r has adjustable gears too.maybe there should be a rules clarification.being you have adjustable gears on some makes.

changing the cam timing would be a big no no.i have heard rumor of this being done.

thanks for the update wren.sounds like it was as crazy as last year.

no race reports?:confused:

west did put a lot of effort into making the 08+ cbr1000 work in a race car.most of the problems where in cheating out the epa crap that came with the usa spec.they clipped the power on the top end...

you could fill that slot with the new f600 cars coming out.there will be 3 running this year.hopefully many more next year.this alternate engine to the f500 needs some spotlight to get it approved...

you will want to visit eformulacarnews click on forums and scroll down to f500.there are plenty of posts about the cars being built.as well as a list of the people building cars.the cost difference...

sorry to go off topic but are you the same fishguy from the lotus forum?your avatar looks the same.way to go richard:thumbsup:

west used a pc leading up to the 06 run offs.this was on a gdre built 06/07 kawi.we soon learned that it didnt do much.so it was unpluged and not used.most people just use the stock ecu without any...

on the west car.we use the non locking flanged nuts.then tighten fairly tight.cant get a torque wrench in where the header is.run it up for a while.then recheck them.this has worked for a few...

when you get your car all ready to run with headers and all.keep an eye on the sight glass to make sure your not filling the motor with oil.if the relief blows off in the motor you will see it in the...

how did your pressure relief setup work?are you still running 2 of them?

wow that is a good price.i thought the momo wheel was 265.00.thats just a few bucks more for a carbon wheel.:thumbsup:

i think that swinging pickup did have a bearing on it.not sure how it sealed.joshua pinned his so it would only swing so far forward and back.if that pickup did a 360.it could take a bit of time to...

yea i think that is why we didnt have any luck tig welding the fittings at west.i did several of them and they where always gas braised because that is how it was done.i remember the other welder...

jesse you mind helping russ out over in the car building section.he has some questions on modding a kropp dry sump for an 07 kawi.http://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?p=219172#post219172

i see problems with running two oil pressure relief valves.i cant say for sure what is going to happen.im just filling you in on what has been track tested and proven to work.i would talk to jesse or...

if you are running a kropp dry sump on an 06/07 motor.than this will work perfectly.but you will need to remove the valve in the engine.im pretty sure that line needs to be a -10 to match to the port...

are you now running an 06-07 kawi?or the 05?what was done on the 06-07 was to cap the pressure relief port in the motor.then on the right side galley of the motor there is a plug installed at the...

west has found that the best connection at the fuel rail is a braised fitting on the steal fuel rail.both parts are steal.tried tig welding with steal wire.didnt work.never tried the everdoo tig...

west uses a -6 adapter with a male -6 on one side a hex in the middle.cant remember what the other side on this adapter is.this was parted off in the lathe leaving a little of the hex with the -6...

the cable that west uses on the cable bump shiifter is a very high grade cable.the same one used on the current atlantic car.cant remember the brand but if you where to call west you could order one...

was fuel open in csr in 05.i work for west race cars and there was a can of this oxygenated fuel in the back room.i was told that it was used when the fuel rule was open.but i cant remember if it was...

these bike motors are tuned from the factory for 93 octane pump gas.so if its legal that is what i would run.i think it was in 05.the fuel was open for dsr.the oxygenated fuel was worth 6 hp.also 35...

i also didnt know that fb was not the same as dsr.i do know that mark white had a national win taken away because he was using pump gas.this was in 07 and he was driving a dsr.

during scca races you must run the track provided race gas.110 leaded.
