    cc'ed my motor check my math....

    Since my motor needed to have some material taken off the deck. So, I figured I needed to check the static compression ratio. It was originally built by Alan Jones for TC Kline's World Challenge team in January 2001, so it was a bit of an unknown, other than the 84mm piston overbore. So here's...

    If you don't like the anual window net tax....

    I just thought I'd bring this topic up for your consideration. With the new requirement for SFI spec'ed 38.1 Head and neck restraints comes a new item to replace: the helmet teathers. BMW club racing has required these for about 5 years now, and this is coming up for non HANS devices that...

    Sources for STU sized Wing??

    Any one found a good source for a 49" rear wing? Seems there are no manufacturers offering wings with this short of a span, and that the shortest wings avalible are in the 52 inch range.

    Glad they got rid of the SIR...

    Ok, so now there's the displacement vs weight, but what about the oe manifold requirement? That doesn't limit certain motors that might have more displacement, but with a crappier intake manifold.

    A Corner Ballancing Story.....

    I did a corner ballance on the Z3 last Saturday. I'd planned to install 45lbs of weight. I didn't bolt it down in case I needed to move it. Well when I finished I had 695 on the LF and 696 RF, but my total weight with ~7 gallons in the tank was 2763lbs. So I'll need to add more weight, maybe...

    Looking for Opel racers....

    A associate has a 73 Gt he wants to move. The body's solid with no tin worm, but the rubber around the windows is shot and the interior would need work, and the paint's oxidized. I'm thinking that since this car's so old I don't even need to worry about smog, it can remain a dual purpose car...

    So where does every one get their Ho-Ho's? Anyone buy from Hoosier West in Fresno? They do seem geared to the roundy-round and drag race set. Or are we going to stand with a gentilman's agreement and run Nitto's?

    Piston Ring Options

    My plan for my motor is a ring/bearing/valve job, with a new oil pump. I talked to my mechanic, Kevin Macdonald at Mac's Performance, and he recommended the Total Seal Rings. I had considered them untill I heard that they actually reduce hp due to ring drag, this from a guy who found an extra...
