8100s have the 2 external outputs that can be set for shift point and oil pressure with BIG LED lights. You don’t need to look at the tach or readouts, use what you already have

Scott will help a lot. Great guy and resource

after seeing all of your Super Vee parts you’ve picked up, an option to consider (assuming you don’t build the SV or part it out) is too use all...

Since you need two and in good shape, this auction may be the best deal...

I looked at Honda 600 axle images and they do look like the drawings. Plenty of them on eBay, I would do some research to verify axle OD and bearing size

If not Honda, check out other FWD axles...

Just confirmed the VW and Porsche axles I have are 30mm, my bad for going off memory (not what it used to be!)

Bug axles are pretty long, and I believe the OD is 25mm (or was it 24?). I have a bad one in the garage that I was using for a mockup on my old car. I bought a pair of ‘66/67 Porsche 911/912 SWB...

The outer axles I bet are VW Type 1, 3 or 4 (not type 2). Bearings may need adapter rings if the ID is larger than the shaft - and make sure you have the spacer between the bearings. Wheel flange...

The local Seattle vintage group, Sovren, will welcome you and whatever car you choose. We do run treaded tires, but cars up through DB-1s run with us.

there are probably a few local FFs for sale,...

engines are readily available out of an 128 (1100cc, 1300cc), X1/9 (1300cc, 1500cc), Yugo and Strada. There are several FIAT websites that should help, xweb (https://xwebforums.com/forum/index.php)...

I may still have an adapter for a FIAT 128 SOHC engine to VW adapter in my garage. I bought it to use in a sports racer project I had several years back. Let me know if interested and I will try and...

May be wrong, but I believe Rhino cases are aluminum and not magnesium

Nothing I can say here but THANKS! Everyone knows Ivey Engines and their reputation, but for the service they offer they are not thanked enough..

Cameron worked with me to get the parts needed for...

Most racing people in the Pacific Northwest probably already use ANT Trackside in Portland for their race tires. In case you don’t know of them, they are one of the best suppliers I know of.

Just wanted to give a big thanks to Steve Horn at Penske Racing Shocks.. it is so nice when you deal with a big company and get the personal service he provided. Prior to this transaction, I had no...

Rear wheel rate looks wrong. I think the rate is higher…

I think the math works better if you use 200 spring

I’m going through the same process with my RP31, but with Avons. I didn’t like the Hoosiers on my RP16 and the Avons feel more predictable.

the rocker ratio (wheel rate) on the front is 1.66:1...

I think this is a mechanical tach, the face has the cable ratio of 4:1 on it.

The current touchpoints are are just under 13”, used on an FF. The points look like they were added, I think the tool Originally had just the flat machined surface. Adding another 1/4”-28 hole...

https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=104306&stc=1I think I have an old Dunlop version in my garage. I’ll check and see if interested

Oops!!!! My mistake!! I thought this was a Zink 16 Formula Ford!! I guess I need more coffee!

I don’t believe the DFV is allowed in Formula Ford’s rules

Probably not legal, but a Weber DFV is a mirror to the DGV

mk5's don't use a standard VW shaft or ring.... the older mk4 and mk6 used a variation of the VW splined shaft but also require different gear hubs. there was a discussion on this recently

Garey, I knew you’d know where it was... pass that info on to the new owner if it still has the ‘box in it. Some of the mods are very obvious, like the bolt on mk9 to rubber donut adapters. I’m...

Ducman, you don’t happen to own the yellow March 729 that was posted for sale here recently, do you? If so, that is the car I mentioned above. It has a mk6 gear hub set, a 9:31 Hewland mk6 shaft,...

As I was referring to in my post, the earlier mk series (4/6/7) used the VW r&p but different pinion shaft gear hubs. A friend had a mk6 in his March and was a bit odd (gearbox and friend!). Only one...

Only if you replace a bunch of other parts as well... all of the gear hubs are different (Stack and key into each other), and I would assume the diff is also not the same as a mk8/9

It is possible that the monocoque is steel, the chassis in the GT40 (mkI and II) was as well as the Crossle F5000.

Bob, not that I would ever question you on FV knowledge (but I will ????), if Chris has a KWIC did it have the same triangular windows the Caldwell has? Chris did have 2 Vees (one for him and his...

Bob, is that Chris Schoap’s car? He bought one a few years back to run with his daughter.

This is exactly what nearly everyone in Sovren uses to meet the odd rule. Simple and cheap.

i use the afterburner light as well, flashing for rain, solid for brake

I don’t think the ring/pinion is different between the ring nut and 4 bolt versions. Yes, you will need a new pinion BEARING and 4 bolt bearing carrier, but they should swap with either VW (or...

the lower duckbill on my helmet (Bell K1) tends to hit the buckles on my harness when using the HANs and full pads. Makes it difficult to look down into the cockpit and I found myself 'craning' my...

IDA/IDFs are different than DCOEs.... I could be interested in the IDF ones if you decide to sell.

so what were the lap times of this vintage CanAm car prior to the blow over? I am always curious how the current owners of 'period correct vintage cars' lap substantially better than the pros did...

I like the can of NEVR-DULL in the photo.. I have a couple cans of that which I use for other hobbies, I'm not sure what he needed it for in the paddock (unless you just need something to 'shine')....

Yup, you are correct - outside exit of turn 8. The infield area has a lot more pavement these days and I'm pretty sure an unprotected telephone pole is also not there!

Still one of the best...

Where on the track was this picture taken? The only place I could think of is from the outside of turn 2? Maybe turn 8? Track doesn't look like this any longer

You are stating what those who have used them already know, these guys are the best. They routinely attend FF races here on the west coast and other major events around the nation. While there they...

The #8 (don’t know the make) is Chris Schoap. He drives a Titan mk6 FF and bought the vee for fun. This race weekend he ran both classes and felt it was too much. I think he wanted to race with his...

My car developed a strange low pressure during a race earlier this year. It would start fine, have higher oil pressure at the start of a race, then start dropping to the low 30s after a couple laps....

I believe you are asking about Mike Nau, here in the Seattle area. Blue and White #74??

I don't have his personal info handy, but he does watch this site. I will see if I can find the info and get...

A simple DPDT-CenterOff switch will work a s well. The two battery poles go to the center connections and the winch wires are attached to connections on one side of the switch (would operate if the...

Go Posner(s)!!

Spend a little more and get a "Mr Gasket" or Moroso brand thermostat (same part) from a speed shop. I believe a universal Chevy is the one I have. They are built much better than a typical stick...

Low pressure would be like 5psi. I used an air nozzle sealed with my hand around the vent when I did mine last. I suppose you could use more air, but all you are trying to do is help push the oil to...

I used to loosen the supply line from the tank at the pump to fill the line before cranking. My local shop showed me a better, easier and cleaner way - used VERY LOW air pressure in the tank vent...

TZ, as in the the 2-stroke bike? :revs::revs: Cool....... bet the exhaust was fun packaging it in the car..

putting it back in the charging cradle puts the unit to 'sleep'. It will still discharge over time, but much longer time.
