I use stick on weights between the beads, and I bubble balance. I've got a tire machine at home and the bubble balancer is portable and doesn't take up any space. Seems to work well. I'll spin...

Could also install it in a coolant line, probably the inlet to the radiator, that is going to be the hottest temp in the system.

You may want to upgrade to a ten micron filter. 100 is too big.

Whats a new SRF cost?

Pat, sounds like a successful weekend despite the steering arm issues. Two things on that failure: first, it has happened before as the steering arm tube wall gets fairly thin out where the single...

What pressure regulator do you have?

Sent you a PM

The car as run by Ted and Nancy James was very different than all the other Amacs produced. As you discovered, that bodywork was not Amac at all. It was actually a March body that they had the...

I was thinking more rotary power would be much cheaper than the high strung atlantic motor. Regardless of that, re-engineering that car would not yield what you're after. There are some good...

I read about people getting scammed in motorcycle pages on FB all the time. Every day I see a post that goes "don't buy from this guy he took my money and just blocked me" or something along those...

Ditto on the cubes being crap. The round ones are much better and its not like they're massively more expensive either.

I haven't used avons at all but I hear that they can be a real beotch to mount up. Hoosiers are real easy and I have mounted many of them.

Its my understanding he doesn't care about real actual speed he is just interested in relative speeds in the same corner for comparison purposes lap to lap. But yeah keeping the sensor away from the...

The year of your car doesn't help me much. Previous or original owner tells me which car it is. Knowing that Dick Boggs was the original owner tells me exactly which car it is. I actually drove...

IF you use the stock dash I assume you will employ a speedohealer or some such device to correct for different tire and sprocket size?

Refresh my memory which Amac do you have?

Not sure why you want the gauge cluster as it doesn't really help much in a car. It does offer the ability to check for error codes but that can be plugged into the harness (if you have the...

Has anyone done any testing on optimum header sizes and lengths for the yamaha r6? I may be building a header for a side car that uses an r6 (not sure of year yet if there are differences) and am...

Wow thats crazy. The axle we had made wasn't near that much.

Thats how we built the original Amac axles that Dick refers to. But eventually they did break and we went to custom machined axles. Fabbed axles do work but we've never had a custom made axle fail....

In general I'd say yes, but since its a request for information by a possibly potential buyer, its gloves off, say what you want.

For 50K you can buy a really nice car that is very competitive in...

To answer your original question, last time I heard, all the cars were stored in a barn in modesto.

When Foster and Billington sued ford over the tracer name, and won, the proceeds funded the...

Formula cars are certainly a great place to engineer, but don't count out the sports racer class. There are some first class prototype cars running that will give new engineers a run for their...

And that effort required changing quite a few things up front, with major modifications to the nose frame and nose bodywork.

Big negative ghost rider. Quite a few on the west coast with Amacs that don't have a diff use a steel rear sprocket. I know, because I machine them from blanks.

We use various chain lubricants. ...

I think you are correct. That is the only location on the car that we use that many washers. The washers adjust the height of the tie rod end in the steering arm bolted to the upright. Its not a...

Well, I do happen to have a few on the shelf I got as a package deal..... But I want to keep those. Normally in the recent past we had fast forward make them, but recent inquiries on them making...

Normally we do not use clips on the inboard ends. Originally it had a locked/spool rear end and the car was later converted to a diff and its possible the diff is a bit narrower or offset to one...

The GCR isn't the end all for specifying the height of the roll bar. The broom stick test is. If you can't pass it with your helmet on you can't run. That's the main reason rollbars get changed.

What Mark said. George is the go to guy for all things motor related to FB/DSR/P2/P1.

I would also echo what he said about wet sumps. They've been developed enough with swinging pickups that dry...

Give me your best definition of cheap. I may have what you're looking for. You can PM me if you like.

Wicked fast when the turbo came on boost. And that lovely chirp from the pop off valve. And fifth gear, when I realized I wasn't in it yet! Ahhhhh, good times.....

I guess Tom Bungay made it taller.

Did it have splints in it to make it higher?

Craig, did you extend the height of the rollbar?

Yes I can see the short splints on the roll hoop above the 3/4” square tube. That’s nasty and I’m surprised Scca let that through. Definitely not as built.

All good Marty just having some fun!

You talking to me? This isn't David!

The wing is where it is after a lot of trial and testing. Too far forward means downforce generated is acting on the bodywork and isn't helping activate the diffusers, or working against the ground...

How did you determine that the roll bar is 12" shorter than the original design? I'm pretty sure that roll bar is original.
Is your upper 1" roll bar support tube supposed to be a continuous tube? ...

If you disconnect one shock eye (usually the top) on each corner, and support the lower chassis rails on ride height blocks, you no longer need to roll the car or bounce the suspension. If you want,...

I had the exact same thing happen to me. I plugged one end, put some air pressure in the other and put the hose in water. Looked like a fish tank air stone. The braided hose looked just fine.

I believe you're right about the motor in the picture being a kawi. But the motor in the car is a suzi for sure.

No. That's what the original fuel injected 01 GSXR made. Later versions had plenty more Hp under 11K then their claimed 145.

If they're supplying and modifying the motors too I really don't see...

They'll sell a lot of body panels that way!

145 Hp Suzuki? Did they find a ton of original 2001 motors? Or is that reflashed ecu seriously choking Hp?

Whats a "ton of torque"? And at what RPM?

Its a very expensive motor, but unfortunately its probably only good for maybe 165 if its fresh. A stock ebay 05 GSXR has the same amount of power and has the added fuel injection which makes a...

Russ, I lube my chain between sessions as well. I also do an inspection for pitted, split, or missing rollers. Once any of those appear the chain is on borrowed time. It also gets a tension check...

In my D cars I use either Tsubaki sigma o-ring chain, or I think its DID that calls theirs an X-ring. I think they also have a "gold" brand as well. Most, if not all larger than F600 will be using...

I believe also in P1 brake rotor material is open. I hear that the top guys are using carbon rotors =$$$$$
P2 it must be ferrous.
