Friend of mine has an 8 year old set of unused R6 Hoosiers. Date code 2806. They have been in the garage in black plastic garbage bags. Value???

I have a 300ZX ITS car. I use the stock oil filter location. Any recommendation on what brand filter would work best? TIA timo

Does anybody know of a place I can store my truck/trailer overnight near GSO or RDU airport? This would be for Wednesday night prior to Goblins Go (Oct 16-17) for about 24 hours. It would mean I don't have to drive back to Hendersonville to pick up all my gear and miss test day....

I am prepping the Z-car for winter storage. I have drained the water from the radiator and the block, and am wondering if it's better to leave the system empty or fill it with a 1/2 - 1/2 mixture of coolant and water. One thing I have noticed is that despite using water conditioners I have been...

I'd like to be able to raise the cage in my 300ZX in order to create some much needed headroom. There is about 1/2" - 1" that I can raise the cage by simply lifting it, but I can gain a lot more if I could just "make room." The GCR seems a little quiet in this subject except in the ITCS 9.f...

Well I'm off to the ARRC. I got the 300ZX good and warm last night and it doesn't seem to run too well. I think it has a condition that may be getting worse. Basically, it backfires quite a bit. It has done this in the past, for example during gear changes, etc, it seems to have trouble...

This is a long shot but does anybody have experience with a lifter making a racket? The leak down checks out fine. I changed all the lifters and pulled the head and had it checked... twice! Nothing appears to be wrong. The camshaft is perfect, lifters all feel OK, the valve stem heights are all...

I've been noodling this problem for a while. As far as I can tell, the optimum placement of the front attachment point would be close to the stock heater fan switch (on my late 944). Certainly, the dash is not strong enough to support the net. If the net were attached to the dash there, I...

The GCR requires competitors to have a factory manual available. Does this have to be printed or can it be electronic, assuming said competitor has the means with which to view the manual (i.e laptop). If printed, does it have to be an original or is a copy sufficient? Thanks...timo

Ladies and Gents Heard this week there was a deadly crash at a Porsche club DE at CMP (South Carolina) this past weekend. A 930 (70's 911 turbo), at the fastest part of the track, spun on some coolant from a blown water cooled car and ended up in the trees, killing the insturctor on impact...

So the 2nd CCPS race at the Goblins Go was shortened officially to 10 laps. This is because after lap 8 or so there was an extended double yellow, and there was no time between the subsequenst green and the checker for any body to do their mandatory 2-minute pit stop. Anybody who did not...

Heard Britt is closing his doors. Anybody know why? The economy? I guess he is moving too, the property is up for auction.

We're running an 88 CRX in the 24 hrs of Lemons. We have run two races and blew the head gasket both times around. We changed the motor for the last race and it lasted until 2 hrs before the end of the race. We are going to machine the head flat this time around, but I was wondering if anybody...

In Jon Milledge's 944 Organizer, he says that independent camber adjsutment can be achieved by "Late rear crossmember for adjustable eccentric system welded to pickup points." I am not sure what this means, anybody got any idea? I spent far too many hours recently setting and resetting toe and...

Can anybody recommend a lightweight and cost effective oil catch tank? Looking on ebay there are several but I think they all have 750ml capacity (GCR requires 1l). I'd prefer aluminum and was planning to make one but I don't have welding capabilities just now. Anybody have an ideas how to make...
