Hi Ivan (@istro), welcome! Glad to hear Graeme’s car is in good hands. I’m looking forward to hearing more about your car.

Just heard back from the dealership and the black button design wheel is the new wheel moving forward.

I don't strap down the fronts either. Just the rear, similar to the photoshopped photo above. Now then: you need an enclosed trailer. 20 feet is plenty, and then you can put some cabinets in the front...

I found the problem and a reasonable solution. Posted by: @davidf It appears that either the valve or the slave cylinder has tapered threads which prevents the bleeder valve from seating/sealing, a...

Posted by: @rjbender G'day Josh (@meatman) See below a thread from a week or so ago on the same/similar subject. In one of the posts I wrote up what I did to my wheels and wheel nuts that were in a ...

Posted by: @parsonsj Call Spring Mountain, and they'll send you the freight box via UPS. You'll have to figure out how to put it together, but it's a simple job. Removing the engine, draining all flu...

@rjbender That's really nice work. My wheel nuts and wheel surfaces look very much like your "before" pictures and seem to work ok. But it does concern me when I look at it. I have found that any lub...

My side skirts are about 52mm from the ground, both sides, so 33mm does sound quite low. I would start by establishing the actual chassis height (not ride height or drop height), measured from the st...

Posted by: @rjbender The only slightly tricky thing is checking/setting the 'free play gain' which is an adjustment that you make on their slave cylinder That is a fact. I spun and burned one of th...

Hi Willem (@illwillem) welcome! What chassis number car do you have? I haven’t done the change over but it sounds like you have the parts list about right. You could likely modify your current tail...

The main problem was that the two batteries were unlinked, which caused drawdown in the main battery, also resulting in the charging system to be inoperable. I suspect this prevented the ECU from get...

Potential solution. Bad relay was causing second battery to not link with the main battery update. Car is fixed. New engine runs well. Three issues found and corrected. I’ll fill in details tomor...

A few years ago, in an effort to make some safety improvements to my car I decided to install a Halo (Lateral head restraint). I ran into challenges immediately because I am a "body tall" person (mea...

my car does not have the spin safe clutch. Can someone explain the mechanics of how that operates? I am assuming it is purely internal, thus should I consider getting this modification during the up...

@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com will do Charley. I just collected an additional 46 second run by holding throttle. vbat starts at 10.42v, jumps to 13v while I am holding throttle, then return...
