Many years ago I purchased four regular bathroom scales to corner weight a single seater. It actually worked well providing you carefully and gently...

Good to know you haven't had an issue. SBD Raceline, and Raceco (back when Ammo was still around building Duratecs) all recommend the manual...

Nice progress, much faster than me! Couple of thoughts... Engine Oil - they recommended to me splitting the oil fill between the engine and the...

I Build dozens of the Duratec engines and never had one issue with the Oil Psi / Hydraulic tensioner and I build D20 for some guys turning the 2.0...

Just got off the phone with Kent. Surprise, surprise, they haven't seen this before. He said the gears are heat treated and sometimes can expand a...

Yep to good to be true I was looking at the photo but the description is for ramps

Squirt a couple of cc's of oil down each cylinder before you test it, if it goes up it's rings. You could try a leak down test and listen for the...

Given that LOW price I just checked out that part number on line and it looks like it is not for a set of scales, but for a set of ramps used to roll...

Too bad you're in Florida, I picked up a set for the Shop last year... Try some of the local race shops. Anyone working with formula cars should...

Finally did the compression test, and the results are not good. I did it cold, and results were: Cylinder 1 - 120 Cylinder 2 - 125 Cylinder 3 -...

Good to hear. Contact me off list to discuss a drive on Sunday 7 June.

You don’t need to cut up those red seats for 6 pt belts. The crotch belts pass under the backrest and then surface in between the seat base and...

Sorry never got a notification yep still available PM me if you still want them

It is in the process of getting yellow cycle fenders and all the red will be gone as well. I do not want to cut up the leather seats for six point...

No Big Heads, just fixing straight to the stay. All prepped and ready to go.

Well that would explain it then! Off to pick up some acid.

The box is finally back together and all gears engage! One of the last frustrations was getting the centering spring correctly mated to the centering...

Relax Carl - you did not offend anyone. It was entertaining because that’s exactly how I would have described it. Anyway, it’s now off in Rotus...

By the way were those pictures taken at the Tail of the Dragon? I am guessing the first pull off on the Tennessee side.

Shine it up and fix the seats. People judge books (and cars) by their cover:). How many times have you seen a worn looking car for sale and the...

I apologize for my comment if I insulted someone. I am certainly guilty of being indelicate. It is still my opinion that using a rear axle that...

Quite a few times over the years from on track G forces. Very common - its not just me or you. They are not the sturdiest of seat frames. Peel it...

Good luck. I hope you don't have the same issue of bond failure that I did. I don't believe you're using the Big heads though so you have a lot more...

Greg, Looking at the photos of your car, I saw that you have the standard Banner battery. It IS shipped dry and requires two small boxes of...

Yes, I believe their jigs are handmade :) I'm going to epoxy the wings on. Bruce B. recommended a 3M panel epoxy, and an epoxy sounds to my ear...

Glad to help. :D :cuss:...............................:toetap05:

Way too close to the finish line to throw in the towel. I'm not sure I would characterize the build as rough -- a vortex of WTF moments is more...

Hand made! Are you planning on gluing the wings on?
