Anyone have some or know where to find? Have been unable to locate any so far. Thanks

Has anyone used the eye-bolt/clip on setup? Legal? Safe? I'm kind of tired of dinking around with the bolts/plates everytime I have to change/remove belts. I like to try to do things once if possible. Also, seems like it would actually be better as the belt will rotate to the best angle at...

I've run across this car (haven't seen yet) and am wondering about any particulars to look for. The story: - was raced in SCCA ITS until 1994 supposedly winningly, then purchased by current owner for V8 conversion :( which never got started, save for "stiffer/taller" :( springs. - painted...

Since Greg has handled the current generation of H&N devices (very handily I might add), my mind got to thinking of the "next gen" H&N device. What might such a thing look like, behave like, etc.? Some free decompression time over the holidays turns the mind loose. Let me raise ip an idea...

Couple questions: - hit the wall and flattened the driver's side, most likely also pushing the axle toward the psngr side - straightened frame, now rear end sits about 1/2 to 3/4 inch further out of the passenger side fender well - measuring wheel to frame underneath, there is the same...

There is a one of the mid-seventies GMC dually class A rv's for sale near me if anyone is interested. They seem to go by the name palm beach, eleganza or kingsly. Price started at 'best offer', now has $7,500 on the windshield. This was owned byan older couple, has lived at this location as...

So this weekend I said to the kid, "Let's take the RX ('91 GXL), it's got working air...", thus jinxing the weekend. This of course after verbalizing serious thoughts of selling it. On the return trip, stopped to look at another car and started getting lots of vibrations, then firecracker...

For those who were interested, it WAS a blast. I got a 5 minute session, 2 qualifying laps, and then the 10 lap B-Main. Missed transfer to the main by about 2 ft, following a yellow that moved a car I had already passed back in front. MOved from 8th to 4th, getting faster every lap. Left the...

Being new to Hondas, front drive and left-turn-only racing, I thought I'd come over here for some informed answers. I will be asphalt circle-tracking a stock/gutted 92 1500 civic (long story) and am wondering the following: - Can I/should I overfill the crankcase oil at all? Race time will be...

While I'm replacing the blown tranny I'm doing the clutch too. Do I NEED to resurface the flywheel or only if it looks torn up. It has had a stock clutch in it up to now. Not replacing pilot bearing, just clean/lube, new throwout. Anything else I'm missing? Can it be done without...

Since my tranny blew ('83 Spec RX-7), good time to replace clutch disc and possibly pressure plate too. Any suggestions? I don't slip the clutch too much, but don't like the idea of wearing out pressure plates and flywheels before the clutch disc which the puck type units seem likely to do...

I setting up a 92 Civic (donor car) for some circle track mayhem and was wondering if anybody had some stock wheels laying around they don't need? 13 or 14 are OK. with or without tires, tires can/should be well worn down. As it is a $300 claim class, free is most desired. Could also trade...

For the first time in four years I started having fuel starvation under hard braking, right-handers only - full to 3/4 tank of gas - I did notice that the tank was becoming pressurized (when loosening the gas cap, big outgoing whooosh) - when filling up at the pump, loooots of gurgling gas in...
