    As I've been doing my prep work for for preparing for the season adn 25 hours, I ran come across an interesting item. There are no frontline CRX's running in SFR/CalClub.

    25 hours prep - Rear Gear @ Thunderhill

    NorCal guys; what final gear would be appropriate for 25 hours @ Thunderhill? Eric? Tak? 4.8? 5.12? 4.44? 3.9? This assumes a fresh motor, an easy redline of 7200 and 205/60/13's. I'm thinking of leaving the stock 3.9... Marcus

    2005 25 hour prep - struts/exhaust/3rd link/motor

    After freezing my A** off at the 25 hours of Thunderhill, I've decided next year will be infinitely better if I'm driving rather than spectating. I'm looking at upgrading my Pro7 to a full IT suspension, to take better advantage of the class rules I'll running under (E2 - pro7, ITA, SM, Honda...

    lightweight wheels

    In addition to prepping for the 25 hour in 05, I got my clock cleaned in the double regional @ Buttonwilllow last weekend. Norcal Pro7 rules only allow 185's on 5.5 inch wide rims, Socal allows 205's on 7 inch wide rims. (Amongst other things- I brought a spoon to a gun fight) Exhibit A: Circle...

    Endurance prep - 1st gen alternator and lights

    I'm am prepping my car for the 25 hour in 05, and one of the 1st questions on my list is running big watt headlights, and the reliability of the alternator. Has anyone seen a rally style set up for a 1st gen Rx? I'm not keen on making it myself, but I can't find one for sale. I'm thinking of...

    How loose is loose? (rear suspension)

    Several people have told me a trick to running the stock watts link and trailing arms is to leave the lower arms loose, and use a lock nuts to keep them from backing off. My question is how loose is loose? Rock the car on the ground so they clank loose? loose they can be deflected with the rear...

    Trailer ramp extenders?

    I have seen but cannot find, a product that was a trailer ramp extender, essentially a long triangular preice of aluminum, that the current ramp set into. The product was a foot or two longer, to extend the length of the ramp, no wood required. Has anyone else seen such a thing? my searches of...

    Exhaust routing

    All, I'm working on putting together a new exhaust setup. I'm relegated to the stock exhaust manifold, and 2.5 inch pipe before the rear axle. For muffling I've got 3 inch inlet/ outlet dyno max ultra flo (round). From there it seems simple; just connect the bits, right? My questions are: A)...

    Driver Comfort- bigger guys

    Hello all, I am trying to find an IT car my brother can be comfortable in. He's 5 foot 11 inches, a 32 inch inseam and ~270 lbs. He's not fat, just built largely, everywhere. (40/41 inch waist) He complains of being too short in the torso to see out of my first Gen Rx7 (with a kirkey mounted...

    Charging Trailer Battery?

    All, I just purchased a new 14 foot tandem axle trailer, with electric brakes on a singel axle. We are running a brake controller in the truck, and the guys at the local trailer shop said that due to running the brakes, we would need to watch our voltage for the onboard battery. Any thoughts on...

    Wheel Bearing dust caps

    Does anyone have a source for these? I'd like a couple spares, but can't find any online. . . the junk yard ones I've looked at were beat up worse than mine (if possible!). If not a source, how about the specs? What diameter did Mazda spec these at? thanks!! Marcus ------------------...
