Amazon sells them but DONT buy them there. Cheap imitations that fail in one session..... I have 5 in stock that I refuse to use now due to false readings. I switched to the $$$ AIM version...

I did an FC in a 14x7 and it was excellent! Love it. Easy and minimalistic. Less work then current rig and towed like a dream.

Already posted on faceparty but I wanted to share a great experience. And I am not one to share good experiences.. California Push Pull Cable. https://push-pull.com/

Great report Jeff!

It was great meeting everyone in the F1000 gang and more. Everyone supports each other and will do what ever it takes to get the cars on the track and race each other. Fast,...

I have had both. Love using the carbon paintball bottle and recharging with scuba tanks but it just adds overhead. The compressor is much easier! :)

I bought my chain tensioner shown in picture 1 from fleetfarm. Spot on match. Send me an email and I will buy one and ship it to you if you want for the cost of purchase and shipping. (or order...

Well, I blew out a cv last year with no indication why... Replaced it and ran fine.... for the rest of the season.

Over the winter I replaced the tripods, housings, and axles with identical parts...

Just wondering what the length of axles people are running with an FC to FB conversion. Specifically Novak if possible. I have 18.75 but I think they are too short for 20mm CV (tripod) joints... ...

Thanks Michael - I am not a vintage guy so could you email, or post the sites you are describing? I need to pass the info on to my father. I am sure I can google it but at work right now.

Thx

Greetings,

We are looking for Brabham information.

Are both of the BT5's accounted for? Are all the BT8's accounted for?

We stumbled across a sports racer stored for 40 years that may have...

I use redline 20w50 motorcycle oil but may not be your issue.... Is your diff open or locked?

I am sure there are tons of resources to help! Great community here.

Rob's suggestions are spot on. The oil has friction components for the clutch as well, so I run the appropriate MC Redline oil. I have also seen the bolts not torqued properly and they backed...

+1. Cant say enough. The uprights I had for my Lola S2 were works of art. Almost a shame to use!

Looking for an update on this thread from 9 years ago or so.

Probably need to rebuild the shocks, and get some recommendations on valving.

Howdy,

Looking to start a thread for FB/F1000 what gear do I run at this track. *(UNLESS one exists!)

I will start that I run 15/47 (TOO HIGH) at BHF- Have run 15/45 and 15/46 (Better is...

This has been a great discussion. Thank you all for your input...Very educational


From the past/last update: New fuel Pump Bosch (I think it was the 044 model - about 2.5" in dia) and...

Agree - All the small details scream Hawke. The lower frame rails in the engine bay and the frame design.... (even similar to my DL12 I owned)

Thx. Was a DJ in a past life and could only recoup ten cents on the dollar for the stereo and too big for the house... so there you go.

Picture is a worth thousand words.... Pardon the work in progress... and the mess

Probably overboard but I...

Before this whole pandemic situation.... I spent a lot of time looking for a custom rad to be built (prior posting) for my FB/F1000/FA Motorcycle powered Van Diemen. A talked to a number of sources....

No vac line connected. I agree. Tempted to plug the regulator and put a pressure sensor in post regulator but need to wait for waterline repair.

Yes. on the pinhole. Really disappointed...

Ok.....

Thank again everyone.

Just to confirm a couple more things.

To confirm - The inlet and outlet are synonymous. I.E. either can be in/out on the regulator? Only the return is specifically...

Thanks Craig,

I have run the car with 5 and then 6 qts in it and never puked with the past engine. (and part of the reason I am asking).

Different engine this year so we will keep an eye on...

Howdy,

I have the method to check oil but its kind of a bugger because the sightglass is behind the exhaust. For those who run Stohr FB's with an 06, and a wet sump can you provide an estimate? ...

Thanks everyone!

Thanks Guys!

I will probably re-torque once I have everything assembled... I did find a tool that appears to hold the sprocket and is formed to use the bike chassis to prevent turning but doesnt...

Actually on the engine outside the car. Figured it would be easier while the engine was out to torque it before install...

Thx
Cj

Howdy,

I recently changed out a front sprocket. Can someone advise a tool to hold it while you torque it down? I used a combination of tools and it worked ok but not ideal. I saw some that use...

Thank you!

Thanks for the insight!

What I am really asking is if an off the shelf pan (Of which I have three) are adequate to run an FB. My laptop died so I don't have a baseline of oil pressure...

I may be wrong I just ASSUMED it would be less due to less downforce compared to a P1 in full trim.

Regardless, is a non-swivel pickup ok?

Thanks

So....I am rebuilding my engine.

Is a pan with a non-swivel pan ok for an FB? Lower G's than a DSR? C+M MFG?

06 GSXR often running too much oil for safety......................= Lower HP....

Thanks but I was looking for a mounting spot where the SCCA Imposed Data Logger could be installed while on the grid....This is the "DNKTKPFSOL5 data box mount" required by SCCA rules for P1, P2, and...

Howdy,

I know this was discussed in the past but I cant find it doing a basic search. Where did most people with Stohr FB's end up putting the SCCA Data Logger Bracket? I was thinking about...

Not that I think it matters but I have two Stohr FB's. One wlll be for sale shortly. WISCONSIN

And I may have missed it but didn't see:

I so wish I could do this but travel and vaca time prevent it.....
