Mark where you need relief and make football shaped cutouts on upper inner frame rails., You may also choose to drop the floor in the cockpit area an inch and a quarter. Lowers CG (cell and driver)
Saw a pic of Noble in a Zink, fellow said it was for sale. I can't find it now. Little help.

I would give Keith Averill a shout. I trust him with all my fab solutions and set ups. I have dealt with Keith for 40 years and never had a problem.

The black 25 and the 31 are ST 1's (stone) I owned and drove the black one. They designed it with full bodywork even under the trans. I used to have nightmares I would be late to the grid getting...
Has to be a one off Solo car.... Love the aerodynamic radiator! F440, F500 and F600's did not have rear wings. Do not see a fuel cell or fire system either....

If in truth this has a Noble motor running, and a Lybarger prepped trans, it will be competetive. Is it running? Looks like it's been sitting as grass grown around tires and paint faded. What are...
They killed Open Wheel racing with club owned. built and distributed classes. F1000 racing with Atlantics? FC with FF's? Most of the paddock is filled with pro prep shops preparing cars for drivers...

I appreciate your opinion,
When I started racing V's in the 70s every country had the same set of rules and specs. Differences were tires, Now I see big rims, big tires,different sets of rules per...
Need a hand buckling in, beer and dinner on me.

As I purvey the differences in the class rules throughout the world, I can only believe that disc brakes will only liquify. the class. The acceptance of disc brakes will drive a huge wedge between...
Thanks Dietmar, The belt on the car was so tight I could hear the belt short squeal on downshifts. It was tight enuf to turn the engine over turning the gen pulley by hand.
[QUOTE=Teuobk;586620]Regarding the oil level, did you check it with the engine running? It will read high if you check it with the engine off. My understanding is that with the engine at idle the oil...
After doing extremely bad this weekend with a new to me Lynx, I have some questions to ask:

Besides belts, new tires and wheel cylinders and lines replaced. Will need fuel cell(s), fire system and transponder. This car has fan shroud, that's what the scoops were feeding. I think I worked on...
I'm going to guess that no student will be allowed to drive that car. The insurance companie's underwriters will not allow it. Best probable scenario is to get a benefactor who would pay to bring...
This car ran out of George Mazuro's shop as a customer. Car has original front slicks at all 4 corners. This was done only at Waterford as track was short and you would buzz 3rd gear. Dating the car...
Could this have been something other than a SV? All SV's I seen had Hewland inverted....SF? European formula series (Renault, Chrysler?)
In looking under my workbench, I found a tub full of used VW brake shoes(25-30). Does anyone reline their shoes anymore? I was saving them for Averill but he no longer has a use for them. Hate to...

Back in 2004, , WHRRI required we buy AMB transponders. We were given a choice of hard wire or battery. I chose battery as I was planning on selling the car. Fast forward 14 years and Yesterday I...
Can someone give me a ball park figure what it would cost to ship a FF from NZ to say Chicago?
They held up fine when I used them with slicks. I am sure that vintage tyres would not load them as hard.
