    Atlanta Region Pro-IT Problems

    Ok, this past weekend at the Road Atlanta Pro-IT post race impound, it was announced that there just might not be a Pro-IT at the next event. Or ever.

    More 240z Suspension Questions

    Ok, I've gone over the new car's suspension and I've found something I don't really understand. My old car had 8" hyperco hypercoil springs in the front and 8" carrera's in the rear. Why? I dunno. That's just how I bought it. 350lbs front, 325 rear. New car, same manufacturer but different...

    240z

    Ok, how do you detemine spring rates. I bought a pre-built car and the current springs have no markings whatsoever. The fronts are blue and the rears are a chrome color. These actually match what was on my old 240z but its been 10 years since I monkeyed with the springs on that car so I don't...

    Where's a good place in the Atlanta area to get a driver's suit cleaned? My has about 6 years of dirt and grease. I was told that not all laundries know how to clean a nomex suit and that using a home washer is not a good idea if you want to keep the suit for long.

    Fuel Cell Displacement Blocks

    Anybody using fuel cell displacement blocks? To shove the fuel over to one side of the fuel cell? Fuel safe makes some blocks but they're $150.00+ for one 2 gallon volume displacement. It seems like it would be cheaper to just use a smaller cell or shove a 2 gallon gas can in the outside corner...

    E36 vs E46

    I'm looking at daily drivers and wondered if I could get some opinions of the E36 vs E46. I race an ITS Datsun but I've been looking at some good used bimmers. Nothing new, just some 1998 / 99 325's vs the '00 328. Anything in particular I should look for? Any opinions? What breaks? Which...

    Well, the tow vehicle is out of the way so I'm looking at the engine. Some of the z's in the southeast are/were running a header from a company out in California (I think) that is supposed to be the best choice. Anyone know what it is? I've heard the company is out of business but I'm not...
