You guys are just too funny. 😎 😎 Anyway, I have ordered some of the o-ring crush washers and some copper (like factory) versions. I CAN report that the o-ring versions fixed some seep...

I typically use a rubber o-ring / aluminum crush washer on street car brakes. I've found that they never ever leak. I'm about to do some brake work on my SR8, and am wondering if these crush washer wi...

oh my! Did he not see you? You were clearly alongside before entering the turn.

I don't use a torque wrench. I just tighten them with a Ridgid 1/2" 18v driver, mark their position, and monitor them throughout the day. I've found that the wheel nuts tighten to almost exactly the s...

No discount pricing, though? 🤣 🤣 Seriously a new SR10 is something I dream about... I'd even be ok with the center seat.

And work on those biceps too! I always make sure I pull off the rear wheels first. Front wheels get placed gently on the front diffuser if they are removed from the car.

Looks great! I wonder if you've got enough clearance around the pipes. I think you'd want a minimum of 20mm or you'll discolor the glass and gel-coat from the heat.

Thought you might enjoy this brief video. An instructor was working with a student on point-bys and passing in turns when he captured this. Attachment : Cameo.mov

@gwt561324 The key is to make sure the thermostat is installed on the scavenge side of the dry sump system and doesn't affect overall oil flow. I'd want to use 12AN or 16AN hose. Maybe Dan from RLM Ra...

@slowcar -- what Garrett said. Oil temps should be above 100C (212 F). Otherwise the oil will entrain water, which leads to acid formation. I suppose if the oil is changed after every event, that migh...

rlm-dan Thanks very much for that bit of trick. Very clever. I may ask you for a photo or two down the line next time mine's torn down for refreshes. No worries about Celsius -- that's all I use, and...

@rlm-dan That is interesting for sure. How do you deal with oil temps with hot coolant in the engine and cooler coolant in the radiators? I thought that would be adding another variable to an already ...

Yes -- me too: on the roll bar tube. I've seen them done on the backs of mirrors though that's on gel-coat rather than the powder coat of the tube.

@rjbender Love it! I'm stealing your idea! Similar to that, I use the AiM LEDs on the dash (I have an MXS 1.2). Solid Red is too low, slow flashing is too high, and fast flashing is way too high. I as...

@slowcar An oil thermostat needs to have minimal pressure drop. MOCAL makes good stuff -- I wonder if that's what they are fitting?
