I drag race mine but it's a longer wheelbase (+12") and electric. That said, the folks who drag race snowmobiles are very competitive and some of them are very quick. They typically use a 2-step...

For fun, here's what one of mine looked like. The rubber was kind of beat up.

That certainly looks interesting... can you describe the operation please? Is the puck still compressed during suspension motion?

Thanks Cory. I've always been curious what that setup looked like: you wouldn't happen to have a picture, would you?

Hi All:

With the canister style the puck is mounted between two aluminum washers which are held together by a bolt and nut. How tight should the initial compression on the puck be? It seems to...

Thanks for the offer but I've actually just tried an old set of Willans I stumbled onto locally. Getting actual measurements will help tremendously.

You guys are giving me lots of options, thanks.

Thanks for your replies. A friend gave me a 10+ year old set of Willans and they are indeed very nice, just pricey. I hadn't heard of Crow and will look into both those and Schroth.

I need new harness/belts in my car and am curious what you've found to work. I just bought a set of G-Force pull-downs from Summit and they're *way* too big for a small formula car. Thoughts?

This is good information to have - thank you. Initial inspection shows my cross-overs look okay but until I do a proper bleeding I won't know for sure. My existing system had a mish-mash of AN and...

Hi everyone:

I'm working on an old F500 with Wilwood master cylinders and JFZ calipers. I need to replace at least one bleeder. Are JFZ and Wilwood related? Does anyone know offhand if the...

I just wanted to add that I used this process recently and it was very interesting. One corner was too tight and it was definitely affecting corner weights. Thanks again for posting.

Thanks Jay - what is the appropriate use of the cannister pushrod? My understanding now is that corner weights are more important than ride height. Does this make sense?

Is there a preferred place to adjust corner weights/load on the suspension cannisters on these cars? Ex. is it better to use the link between the axle and bell-crank or the short piece between the...

Thanks very much and happy New Year.

I would love to have a look at this but it's not showing up for me. Any chance you could repost? Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi All,

I've read several times that one source for replacement urethane in the suspension units is McMaster-Carr but I'm having a hard time pinning it down for some reason. Mine are old, old,...

Raptor DE 2, log book is in the mail. :)

I found out what this little car is and am in the process of disassembly, cleaning, inspection, etc. and am looking for hints on what to do (or not do) when disassembling the rear axle. One of the...

The P.O. is looking for the logbook and I believe the roll bar has been modified for LSR. (I won't be using the vehicle for F500 racing so homologation isn't important to me.) I'll probably be drag...

Good point, I'll do that later today. Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Newbie here: I recently obtained what I think is an older Raptor. Can somebody advise me where I might find a chassis number, serial number or other ID?

many thanks,
Frank
