Hello rgu, the car belongs to a buddy of mine. He was road racing FV and FF back in the 70s and 80s and decided to build another car to autocross/TT. He has built the car from scratch within the...

Thanks,

A buddy of mine just completed his VW FV build and he would like to start running some 6x13 rims at the local autocross events. He plans to upgrade to disks eventually. But, He's wondering what...

I finally put some new R25B tires on my Reynard FC and ran this past Saturday and Sunday setting LTOD both days with apprx 100 entries each day. I was pretty darn excited that car handled so well. I...

I just bought a set a couple of weeks ago and paid $217/F 7.0x13 and $261/R 9x13 for my FC.

Sure would be nice to find some discounts! I am still waiting for the American Racer Tire Co to put...

Thanks, Mr Pare!

Good evening,
I run a '90 Reynard FC at most of the autocross events in S. Texas and I would like to get in touch with Steve or Brent Cary for some advice on setting up my car. They run an '88...

Here are a few videos from events I have run in this year:

Walmart sells beads in fabric department of my local store. Beads are apprx 1/4" in dia. But I have no idea if the foam is made of the same stuff racing seats are made of.

Anderson ran with us at Harris Raceway which is a 1.83 mi road course. We ran an 'autocross' on the track and used some offset gates and slaloms on some of the straight sections to keep top speeds...

Elias ran his electric car with us back in Oct at Harris Hill Raceway south of Austin. He built this car and ran it at Pike's Peak this past summer. I dont know the details, but I believe its a...

and more photos!

from all three days.

I only have a point and shoot camera so I took some pics around the track.

Dick, I am running an FC with a 10:31 and a 13:37 integral first gear. I usually launch car around 4K I guess. I dont pay much attention to the tach. I do have two years on clutch disk tho. And, I do...

Here is my best run yesterday, .28 behind the EM Stalker that took first place:

And, last week we ran with the Spokes club at Harris Hill Raceway in...

Here are a couple of photos of cardboard mockup. I plan to make some removable side sections that will extend diffuser floor forward and out as wide as the radiator supports.

I am in the process of building a diffuser for my Reynard. Didnt get much done over the past couple of months because of hot weather and work. I started collecting lots of photos to see what designs...

Mark, you are getting more seat time than anyone I know down here. I will have completed around 20 events by the end of the year. If I wanted to tow 3 hours I could get in a few more. Getting tired...

I bought this nitrogen kit for less that $200 and it includes a 20cf tank, hand-held dolly, regulator, hose, gauge, and an inflation handle.
...

I am off topic, but at my last event this month with car sitting in the sun, tires warmed up to 140 F before I had made any runs. Pressure built up so I let some air out, ran a lap, drove back to...

I got my butt kicked yesterday by a bunch ofl drivers, a few that are national champions, driving various cars. I guess I just have to get more aggressive in my old age. After looking at my runs on...

Wow, that was close! Good thing the other driver was experienced and paying attention.

Here are my four runs from today. I DNF'd two runs because I didnt drive through all of the gates after the finish so I didnt get any times. But my last run was good enough to beat the other BM by...

Here is my '90 Reynard (FC) running at a local event on a very bumpy parking lot.

RFBing here because I wear a size 13 shoe and dont have much experience with LFB anyway. But I can toe and heel pretty easily in my Reynard. Clutchless shifting after leaving the line and once in a...

The muffler I bought on Ebay is made overseas and its supposedly a carbon fiber can with ss endcaps and outlets. Looks like the rivets could be drilled out if baffling ever needs replacing.
There...

I am running a lightweight muffler on a 2L that I bought on Ebay for $45 including the shipping. It weighs apprx 3.5 lbs. It does have a removable baffle that I have not used. Our club has a 93dB...

Thanks, Andy, I think I will stick to the R25 tires after reading your assessment.

Hoosier has the A6 compound in 13" dia with four widths, 225 to 255. I wonder how much better this compound would work compared to the R25 if available sizes would work on my FC?

Has anyone else...

How about allowing my Reynard FC to run in CM, lol? Because there is nooo way it would be competitive in BM with the Legrands.

I will measure some of the tire temps on other cars at the next event to see just how much heat they are generating.

A buddy of mine can't understand why so many people at our autocross events are spraying tires with water between runs. It's definitely hot down here in Texas right now so tires are building up some...

I put an inexpensive stainless, 'carbon fiber wrapped' muffler on my FC that I started autoxing back in Jan. It's pretty quiet and club hasnt had any noise issues with my car. Muffler does have a...

I started running a '90 Reynard at the local autoxs in January after refinishing a complete rebuild of a car I bought several years ago that was in terrible shape. I am having a blast driving the car...

Has anyone experimented with different types of front wings that might be effective at low to medium speeds found on an autox course? Some of the FSAE teams are running multiple element wings that...

I am running VP Racing fuel mixed apprx 50/50 with pump gas. Their VP110 and C12 fuels are leaded which should help lubricate valve seats. According to VP guy, their racing fuels are much more stable...

I finished rebuilding a '90 Reynard this past Dec and I am autoxing the car now. I dont have the bodywork refinished yet, thats another project I need to start on soon, but I can run it at local...

In one of his books he writes about gelcoat vs paint. He suggests going with gelcoat because its much more durable. His suggestion is to puchase Pactra epoxy spray paint that modelers use on rc...
