First off, happy holidays! Second, at the end of last year I got a small hole in one of my headers due to crazy high exhaust temps (I'm starting to think this is due to a vacuum leak in that plastic dealy between the carb and intake manifold). Since I'm a recently engaged guy (thank you very...

I've heard about syncro's, maybe a gear, but what about breaking rod/shaft? (never tried an image, hope this works!) Ben.

My car has something loose in the steering and it only happens on a slight right turn. During a race you really don't notice it since most turns are hard with a quick turn in. The only tracks where I notice it during hot laps is the little bend before turn 7 at black hawk farms and the very long...

This just hit me, but anyone out there have an xbox and play project gotham racing 2? It has a cool online multiplayer deal where you can race folks from all over the place or you can add your pals and race against people you know. I might be getting myself into more than I asked for, but my...

So last night I was dreaming that I would rather be a profesional race car driver then a multimedia computer slave. Since I don't have gobs of cash or know any race teams looking for an ITA racer in his second year, what if I were to win the run-offs? (remember, we're dreaming here). I'm pretty...

Don't know if it's a big no-no to talk about this, but has anyone ever taken advantage of mazda's s-plan pricing on a new car? Since it works for family members and my brother is looking for a new car I thought I would ask. If it's good, I just may be in the market too! Is it better than...

So now when people ask me if I have an EGT gauge I can finally say yes. Oredered mine today. The next gauge I have been asked a lot about is the air/fuel gauge. I've been doing a little reading on these and it sounds like there's a lot of gauge types and what seems to be a lot of bad ones. So...

this may have little to do with IT, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips on where to watch the races at Mosport? My dad, brother and I are heading up there for this weekends SPEED and Le Mans races. Thanks. Anyone else going? Ben. ITA #33 Rx7 Land O Lakes

After looking at some of my spare engines I noticed that the engine in my car does not have that black spacer looking thing that goes between the carb and the intake manifold. I think it might be called a gasket. It has probably 6 or so tiny tubes coming out of it. My car has been running kind...

Is there a place to buy a variety of jets for that stock (nikki sp?) carb we have on the 12A? I'd like to mess with the mix a little and I'm not sure where I can find different jets. Thanks! Ben. LOL ITA 33

I was having some carb issues at the track and the first line out of anyone that was trying to help me was "what does your EGT read"? And yes, I'm a very very bad boy and I don't have one. So I've been doing some internet searching for one and it's kind of hard. I don't have a ton of cash...

My car came with a smaller pulley on the engine with 3 lines on it colored red, white, and black. I'm pretty sure red is TDC. John (the head wrench) and I are not certian that the pulley was put on correctly. Is there anyway to find TDC on a rotary without taking the thing apart? Thanks Ben ITA 33

Hey folks. I by mistake ordered some Hawk Blues for the rear of my car. I've actually never had to replace the brakes on the rear of the car in the year I've had it. That might be the result of some bad calipers I just replaced. Anyhoo, I'm a little worried about putting the Blues on the rear...

I'm going to be changing tow vehicals from my S10 to an 89 fored E350. Anyhoo, I'm going to need a new brake controller. My previous one came with the trailer but I'm going to sell it with the truck. Anyone know of a good make/model or a good place to get one? Thanks Ben LOL/IT7

Has anyone tried rebuilding one of these transmissions? I have a transmission I want to use that broke a 3rd gear synchro I think. As far as I can tell and going by the book, I've got to take everything off starting from the drive shaft side taking apart the entire thing in order to get to it...

I'm going to be changing the exhaust on my car. Currently it exits before the rear wheel, passenger side with a super trapp. I was wondering how many people go over the axle, how many under, and with one pipe to the muffler or two? I have a fuel cell in the back and it looks like it would be...

Two posts in a row, holy cow! Anyhoo, I was under the car checking things out when I noticed a strange link on my transmission. There was trans fluid leaking down the passenger side, near the shifter. I couldn't see exactly where it was coming from since it's kind of tucked up in the tunnel...

Since it's finally warm again, I've started looking underneath the car and decided to replace all the worn out rubber bits. Looking at the trailing links, both upper and lower in the rear I see that the rubber in them is worn out and cracked. Looking at mazda motorsports site I see they have...

My racing car is an '83 and been doing the racing gig for probably the last 8-10 years on and off. The car was new to me a couple years ago and now that the gift buying season is over I'm looking at throwing money at the car again. I know it's been a long time since the suspension had anything...

Went out to the car today to time it to the 24 and 16 degrees for the first time and things weren't as easy as we thought. We have the smaller competition drive pulley on the car and it has 3 marks on the pulley colored red, white, and black. After doing some math it looks like black is 24...
