I'll be out there with my new to me euroswift. Keith is doing some things to it at present.

Yeah, I used to watch my dad balance on the car....an art form.;)

The auxiliary fan can be quite small. I added one to my 85 Reynard on a switch. When the temp got up there I'd just flip the switch and in five minutes it was cool. At speed the fan will windmill...

I know serious racers all remove them but I'd run a t stat.

I have a honda powered FF I use to autocross. I have a rev limiter so no shift light is needed. Then I use the temp gauge to determine if it is warm enough to race. Everything else gets ignored as...

I have left it with Keith averill to do a long list of things. I am still looking for someone to fix up my car cosmetically. any suggestions?

Either the Formula ford or v would be excellent starting points. Or if you like fenders a Miata. The guys on this site are mostly engineers and will give you the straight story on things.

I have bought a 92 euroswift. It is set up for road racing and has the Honda conversion. I will be setting it up for autocross. I was looking at its log book and find it has done a lot of racing...

Thanks to all who have contributed to this tire effort!

They certainly look like brake cooling ducts. Are you sure the brakes are inboard on that car?

I have limped home several times with a flat tire on one wheel of my two axle trailer.

The Mallock looks well thought out.

Just thought I would update my activity. I sold the Van Dieman to Texas and now have a Honda s2000. I like it so far and am getting some new shocks and perhaps tires for it. I have very much...

From my own observation the cm has little or no chance to win on the current pax values.

Gurney's car ran minimal bodywork back there so that may make your task less daunting. What is done looks very good!

yes.

Yes. seems like it would have been clear. perhaps they could not find the correct material in clear and painted the old screen.

Phil told me the car had been converted from continental by some owner previous to him.

I have very limited information other than what is offered here. It seems to me the continental is more...

I keep antifreeze in mine.

how high is the op?

Thanks for the report Chris.

For the record Jim and Reid both ran my car., the 98 Van Dieman formerly known as Groot.. Both of them got in a half dozen or so practice runs in the car. Both also...

Me too.

Bak when I had the 85 renard it was very heavy. I removed the side panels and htthen painted it all flat black with a few highlights of safety orange. Mark Lamm told me to figure it out how to get...

Thanks for all your contributions to C mod Chris!

Got in all the runs we wanted yesterday. Ben Menendez came by and chatted a bit. He noticed I am not running a sway bar on the rear right away.

Reid found it would push a bit . We reduced...

Maybe I'll just bring my regular fuel along. Anybody know how long the course is?

Will they have fuel available on site at Nats? I assume yes. If yes what will be on offer? I normally run premium with no alcohol.

Thanks very much Chris for your generous assistance!

Tom

Sorry to sound like a whiner.

This is the first time I have done all this. Both previous nats I had experienced partners in crime who took care of it all.'

Now this practice...

I am just trying to get some practice time in before I have to compete. It appears the set up for that is very difficult to take advantage of. Here we are two weeks from the end of buying practice...

Will we be able to practice on Tuesday or wednesday when we are not running?

Thanks Jim! They say the are sold out.

Today I am arranging and booking. Can someone point me toward a source to rent a golf cart please?

Thanks for your interest Dan.

Tom

It looks like I have secured a co driver now for the event. Thanks very much to all who assisted or were interested.

Thanks Phil!

I watched a bit of a movie with Groot in it. Interesting character.

unfortunately I don't have a face book account I don't think.

I had a fellow who wanted to come and share with me but circumstances have changed and he will not. I have registered to run but without another person to help out I will withdraw.

Anybody need a...

The brakes work grandly but I still got a small squeek in one of my braking zones.

Am planning to run this weekend. Also have a co driver for Nationals now, so I need to get registered for that.

If anybody needs a car for Nationals my 98 VD is available. I would co drive for someone or just be a car owner. I'd like to be there and enjoy the scene.

Anybody with a last minute failure or a...

Raced at ft. Wayne on Sunday. I bedded the pads a bit in the paddock area. They all worked perfectly Got three dnf and then rained out..

I got all the new rotors, pads and such installed on the front, then decided I should change the pads on back. Ordered them, got them and installed them this morning. All seems fine. The rotors...

Thanks all for your thoughts and comments.

Ahhhh yes. Makes sense but it begs the question of why I never noticed it before.

Even with the rear tires being significantly wider?

When I am going well it seems I find the rear tires a feel bit warmer than the front. Should I try to make them equal?

That sounds correct.

Thanks very much!

Tom

I struggled yesterday getting hub back on on the left front. Just finished it. Today am planning to install the new primus rotors. These little bolts to hold it on look really tiny. They are...

Thanks David! I have now ordered the right rotors.

Tom

So now it seems there are no right side rotors available and all other style rotors are not in stock at present. Apparently the rotors are directional. I am wondering with the lower speeds at...
